Houston adoptive father of 9 used religion, social media to mask abuse of children, prosecutors say

Prosecutors on Friday outlined a hellish life for the adoptive children of Hayim Cohen — whose birth name is Jeffrey Lujan Vejil — that conflicted with Cohen's portrayal of a tight-knit, pious family on social media.

“Behind all that is excessive abuse,” said Janna Oswald, chief prosecutor for the Harris County District Attorney’s Crimes Against Children Division.

Cohen, 38, faces 12 criminal charges, including ones related to child sexual abuse and assault. Each of his court appearances, including Friday's, has revealed new, alleged layers of deceit.
