Mother of Manson love child: Set my Charlie free / THE MOTHER of Charles Manson�s secret love child vows to fight for the helter-skelter madman until prison officials see what she calls �the error of their ways� - and release him from prison for good!
“I wonâ��t rest until Charles is a free man,” Sister Margaret Peers told me exclusively. The nun claims she trysted with Manson just days before his arrest in 1969 and then gave birth to a daughter while his trial for the murders of actress Sharon Tate and six other people was in full swing.
â��Iâ��m not saying he isnâ��t guilty,” she continued in telephone interview from her apartment in Los Angeles. “Iâ��m saying heâ��s been punished enough. Itâ��s time to let bygones be bygones.
�Even Charlie Manson deserves a chance to connect with the daughter he�s never met. She�s a respected doctor and she very much wants to bond with her dad.�
Sister Margaret, 61, says she entered a convent five years after she sizzled with Manson, who was, she claims, the first and last man to �know� her.
She declined to identify their love child by name, but did say the accomplished young woman �has Charlie�s eyes and quick wit, lives in northern California, and will celebrate her 38th birthday in August.�
Officials at California�s Corcoran State Prison, where Manson is serving a life sentence for orchestrating the LSD-fueled murder rampage that sent five members of his devoted �family� of outcasts to prison, aren�t talking a blue streak, either.
Asked about Sister Margaret�s attempts to free Manson, one high-ranking official snapped: �The only way Charlie is leaving the big house is in a pine box with pennies on his eyes and the lid nailed shut.�
The nun�s crusade isn�t going to thrill survivors of the victims, either. They�ve argued passionately against parole for �the most dangerous man in America� since he became eligible for release in 1992.
And to hear one observer tell it, �they�re just getting warmed up.�
�I understand their pain, but Charlie can help them find closure if they�ll just trust God and open their hearts to love,� counters Sister Margaret, who claims to have spoken to Manson �in several letters� and insists that �he wants his freedom as much as I do.�
If that�s true, he�s certainly playing it close to the vest, refusing to respond to questions from reporters who are anxious to hear what the 68-year-old �icon of evil� he has to say about the nun, his love child - and parole.
Scuttlebutt coming from prison insiders is as conflicted and contradictory as the madman himself. Sources have alternately reported that Manson:
O Doesn�t know Sister Margaret.
O Fondly recalls their one-night stand in the back of a stolen VW bus and still has �a thing� for her.
O Doesn�t want to meet his love child under any circumstances.
O Can�t wait to meet his love child so he can kill her.
�Charlie ain�t just crazy - he�s real crazy,� says a fellow inmate. �He�s senile, too. And all he wants to do walk down memory lane and talk about killing people and cackle like an old hen.
�But who knows? Maybe if you let him out of prison he�ll pull himself together. He�s still a charmer when he wants to be. Maybe he could become a preacher.�
The chances of a Manson parole seem slim at best. He�s already been turned down 10 times - and his next opportunity is in the year 2009.
Meanwhile, Sister Margaret vows to fight for his freedom �to my last breath.�
�Every mother in America knows where I�m coming from,� she says. �I�m not only doing this for Charlie, I�m doing this for my child.�
