New twist in the Dolezal story: Her brother is an alleged child molester

In case you were wondering why Rachel Dolezal's parents waited many years after she started representing herself as black to start talking about it...well, there's a reason.

Since The Press reported the news, Dolezal has made several statements to various media outlets indicating that her parents' motivation to come forward about her ethnic identity was motivated by family legal matters playing out in Colorado. Court records show that Dolezal's older biological brother, Joshua, was arrested in 2014 on four counts of child sexual assault.
The charges were filed in Clear Creek County, Colorado. The case is scheduled to go to trial this summer.
The New York Daily News reported Sunday that Rachel Dolezal is assisting the alleged victim in the case. The New York publication did not release the name of the victim and it was not immediately available in court records.
