Out of curiosity, do you have sources? My family lore/members have mentioned of it, Stephen King referenced it in “Tommyknockers.”

Maine has the highest rate of child maltreatment in the nation. The Maine Integrated Health Youth Survey found in 2021 that 22% of female and 6.5% of male high school students have been raped.

Lots of reasons folks like living rural where there's fewer eyes to pry. Sometimes its general privacy.

Sometimes you run the Elan School.

Sometimes you're a member of the community and your values line up with the Elan School.

Sometimes you're a white supremacist piece of shit who bought some land up state that fucks his sister.

I’ve been saying this for years. Domestic abusers, child abusers, sexual abusers get pretty light sentences. Even repeat offenders.
