A Florida law enforcement report has found no credible evidence that a teenager's father threatened to kill her for converting from Islam to Christianity.
The 17-year-old girl, Rifqa Bary, ran away from her family in Columbus, Ohio, in July and took refuge in the home of the Rev. Blake Lorenz with the Global Revolution Church in Orlando, Florida. The girl was moved into foster care under the supervision of Florida's Department of Children and Family after she said in a sworn affidavit that her Muslim father threatened her.
An investigative report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement was released Monday after a juvenile court seal order expired.
"Our investigation has provided no clear evidence of criminal activity," said the state report.
Investigators stated they could not find any evidence to support a history of abuse. A teacher at the girl's high school told investigators she had no reports or evidence of abuse.
The girl had told investigators her father never saw her in her school cheerleading outfit because she feared his disapproval. But investigators stated in the report they saw pictures of the girl in her cheerleading uniform prominently displayed in the living room of the Bary's Ohio home. –For rest of the story see -CNN
