The mother of the 11-month-old victim in a sex abuse case frequently told prosecutors that she could not remember the exchanges she had with the alleged perpetrator in court on Thursday. The mother’s testimony came during the second day in the trial of Mark Townsend, 28, a Monitor Township man and former Bangor Township Schools assistant basketball coach, who is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim younger than 13, first degree child abuse and assault with intent to do great bodily harm in connection with injuries the victim sustained. The mother, who will not be identified to protect the identity of the victim, was questioned by Assistant Prosecutor J. Dee Brooks about a number of texts and phone conversations she had with Townsend as he was babysitting the victim on March 12, 2010.
