Judge William Adams has admitted that video of him beating his daughter was, in fact, him.
Video of a family law judge violently beating and verbally abusing his 16-year-old daughter has sparked a police investigation, and the video is online.
In a video of about 8 minutes in length, family law judge William Adams is seen beating his 16-year-old daughter after having his younger child leave the room. The 16-year-old, who reportedly has cerebral palsy, was apparently caught stealing, according to a statement by her father, and was beaten by Adams while her mother stood by in the next room.
"Lay down or I'll spank you in your (expletive) face," the man can be heard screaming in the video. The girl, who likely planted the camera to incriminate her father, can be heard screaming and wiling for her father to stop.
A few minutes into the video, a woman appears and barks at the girl to "turn over like a 16-year-old and take it! Like a grown woman!" The woman is likely her mother.
Toward the end of the video, the Adams yells that he plans to beat the girl "into submission" before he woman is heard telling the girl to sleep on the sofa
Now, breaking news reveals that Adams has admitted that it is him in the video from 2004.
"She's mad because I've ordered her to bring the car back, in a nutshell, but yeah that's me, I lost my temper," Adams told us. "Her mother was there, she wasn't hurt... it was a long time ago... I really don't want to get into this right now because as you can see my life's been made very difficult over this child," Adams continued.
Hilary's beating in the video was reportedly for using the internet to download music and games that she did not purchase.
When asked if he felt he was going to face any suspension over the video, Adams responded, "In my mind I have not done anything wrong other than discipline my child when she was caught stealing. I did lose my temper, I've apologized. It looks worse than it is."
