In 1978, Dr. Amy Acton’s stepfather, Cledith Arthur, was arrested, charged, and indicted in Mahoning County, Ohio, for raping her when she was 12 years old.
Following the indictment, child welfare authorities legally removed Dr. Acton and her brother from their mother’s custody due to severe neglect and abuse. Her mother, Donna Arthur, chose to stay married to the abuser until his death. Cledith Arthur skipped bond and remained a fugitive from justice until he died in 2004. Dr. Acton has been completely estranged from her birth mother since that 1978 court appearance
