Galasso/The Record of Bergen CountyAswad Ayinde, aka Charles McGill, is brought before Passaic County court in October on charges he repeatedly raped his daughters and had several children with them.
Aswad Ayinde, also known as Charles McGill, somehow managed to keep one step ahead of child welfare investigators by moving from town to town - and beat his kids with wooden boards or kicked them with steel-toed boots to keep them in line, investigators said.
Many of the rapes took place in an
abandoned funeral home in East Orange, N.J., where the family squatted for a time, investigators said.
"
He said the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen," Ayinde's ex-wife, Beverly, testified at a recent hearing.
The woman said she was too afraid to counter her husband - even after she learned he was raping their daughters.
"I was afraid to ever accuse him of being demented or being a pedophile," she said. "I knew the word, but I wouldn't dare use it because it would result in a beating."
Beverly Ayinde said she felt ashamed for not rescuing her girls.
"I'm sure my not standing up to him didn't help the kids," she said. "They felt disempowered also. There was just a lot of fear. Everybody was threatened."
Some of the babies were delivered at home, and they buried the two that died, she told the court. The others never got birth certificates.
Her 51-year-old former husband faces the first of five separate trials next month - one for each daughter he allegedly violated, said Lisa Squitieri, the Passaic County prosecutor handling the case.
Ayinde, who is from Atlantic City but lived most recently in Paterson, N.J., was arrested in 2006 and was being held on $1 million bond.
He was ruled competent to stand trial earlier this year and faces 27 charges including aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, lewdness, child endangerment, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact.
His arrest has prompted an internal probe by the New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services to determine how the suspect allegedly turned his daughters into sexual slaves without them knowing a thing.
Some of the crimes allegedly occurred while the family was under scrutiny by the state child welfare agency - and after the dad had been arrested and pleaded guilty to assault and child endangerment.
The violated daughters are now all 18 and older. Their whereabouts - and those of their children - were not known.
Prosecutors said the accused dad began raping his daughters in the mid-1980s until 2002, when his wife fled the household.
During that period, Ayinde and his trapped family lived in the New Jersey cities of Paterson, Orange, Eatontown and East Orange. He kept close tabs on his daughters and home schooled them to keep the filthy family secrets from spilling out, investigators said.
At one point, Ayinde moved the family to Florida to avoid investigators.
He faces a hearing Friday where a judge is expected to rule on the admissibility of his wife's testimony.
