There is a new twist in the Rachel Dolezal story.

Dolezal's parents, Ruthanne and Larry Dolezal of Troy, Mont., told The Press early last week that their daughter has been faking her identity as a black woman for several years. They provided Dolezal's birth certificate and childhood photos as proof.

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.

Joshua, who lives in Indiana, could not be reached for comment, but Dolezal's mother relayed a message to The Press on behalf of the family.

"Of all Rachel's false and malicious fabrications, the allegations against our oldest son are definitely the worst," Ruthanne Dolezal wrote. "Rachel is desperately trying to destroy her biological family, but she will not succeed, because at the end of this story I believe truth and justice will prevail."

Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether the regular monthly meeting of the Spokane NAACP chapter will be held from 7-9 tonight.

Dolezal announced Friday that in the wake of "questions and assumptions swirling in national and global news about my family, my race, my credibility, and the NAACP," she would release a response statement during the meeting.

Then on Sunday, Dolezal sent an email message to members stating: "Due to the need to continue discussion with regional and national NAACP leaders, tomorrow's meeting is postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date."

A short time later, Lawrence Burnley, chair of the NAACP chapter's executive committee, sent an email message to Rachel and other NAACP members questioning Dolezal's authority to cancel tonight's meeting. He wrote that even if the by-laws allow it, it is a decision that should be discussed with the executive committee.

"Furthermore, moments ago CNN quoted the language of your email to cancel/postpone tomorrow's meeting with a signature 'Spokane NAACP Chapter.' This is misleading as it conveys a decision has been made by 'the chapter' or the executive committee of the chapter which is not the case," Burnley wrote. "I am deeply concerned with this decision ... "

Burnley stated in the message that an executive committee meeting was scheduled to be held Sunday. Neither he nor other NAACP local chapter leaders responded to requests for additional information about tonight's membership meeting or the executive committee meeting Burnley mentioned.

Dolezal worked for the Human Rights Education Institute in Coeur d'Alene from 2008 to 2010, coordinating the organization's education programs. During that time, she reported being the target of several hate crimes in Coeur d'Alene and Spokane. None of the cases revealed a suspect.

Now the chair of the city of Spokane's police oversight commission, Dolezal reported several hate crimes in that city earlier this year. Investigators determined some of the hate mail Dolezal reported receiving was most likely placed in the post office box, where Dolezal picked it up, by someone with a key to the box, not a postal worker. Without a clear suspect in any of the cases, the Spokane Police Department suspended all hate crime investigations involving Dolezal.

The Associated Press reported that Kitara Johnson, a member of the Spokane NAACP chapter, organized an online petition calling for Dolezal to take a leave of absence.

"It's not about race, it's about integrity," she said. "If you're a leader, you have to have integrity. She clearly lacks integrity. The other piece is credibility."

Johnson said she and others plan to peacefully protest outside tonight's membership meeting, but they will not attend the meeting.
