PATERSON (New Jersey) – A MAN whose apocalyptic visions allegedly led him to rape his five daughters and terrorise his family for years was found guilty on Wednesday of sexually assaulting a daughter who testified that she bore him a child. The jury deliberated for less than three hours over two days before finding the man guilty on all of the eight counts in the first of five separate trials – one for each daughter he is accused of victimising. The man showed no reaction to the verdict, other than keeping his eyes closed for extended periods while several of the counts were read.

Woman guilty of sex attack on baby

The conviction of a woman for sexually assaulting a baby and allowing her boyfriend to take photographs of the abuse has brought an end to “one of the most sickening paedophile rings this country has seen”, prosecutors have said. Tracy Dawber, 44, was the fourth woman to be convicted of abuse and pornography offences relating to “evil” paedophile Colin Blanchard’s internet child abuse ring. Dawber, a community care worker, wept as a jury at Winchester Crown Court took just two hours to find her guilty of the assault, and of allowing Blanchard to take pictures of the abuse on his mobile phone. She let IT consultant Blanchard, 40, take photos at her home in Southport, Merseyside, in August 2008 as she assaulted the baby on her sofa. The pair then took photos of themselves on the same phone taking part in sex acts.

WAUSAU, Wis — A Wisconsin man has been charged with repeatedly raping a 9-year-old girl and to make matters worse, the girl’s mother knew it was happening. Police got involved after receiving a call from social services and the fact that a registered sex offender who lived in the home, Clyde McCollum, was bragging about being in love with the girl and told others that he was going to marry her. During their investigation it was revealed that Bryan Hearron, the boyfriend of the girl’s mother, had been repeatedly raping the child. “Bryan stated he was providing lessons to [the child] regarding bad things that could happen to her from sex offenders,” the criminal complaint reads.

GRIFFIN, Ga. – Bad enough to lose a child in a horrific car crash, but for the parents of Dayna Kempson-Schacht, this has been compounded by the fact that a video of her dead body has been making the rounds through town. Back in July, the 23-year-old mother of two was travelling on Highway 19-41 when she lost control of her car and collided into some trees, dying instantly. An unknown firefighter from the Spalding County Fire Department who responded to the scene used his cell phone to record video of the wreckage, including Kempson-Schacht’s dead body and severe head trauma. He would share this video with fellow firefighters, who would then share the video with their friends and two-and-a-half months after losing their daughter, the video makes its way to Kempson-Schacht’s parents.

A community is offering an outpouring of support for a Durham family impacted by murder. Police have charged the father of the family, Joseph Mitchell, in the death of his 4-year-old son, Blake Mitchell, and for allegedly trying to kill his other two children last month. Blake’s father remains at Raleigh’s Central Prison for safekeeping after a suicide attempt. While investigators won’t talk motive, records show the family was suffering financially and their home was in foreclosure. Shocked by the brutal murder, residents in the family’s north Durham neighborhood are pulling together for what they call, “A Hug from Blake.”

CHICAGO — Sixteen-year-old Daniel Kovarbasich had the opportunity yesterday to reach millions of people and tell children to speak out if they become a victim of sexual abuse. Daniel, his parents, Terry and Donna, and brother, Gregory, were guests on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” where Daniel described to Winfrey the details behind the slaying of 55-year-old Duane Hurley.

Terry Kovarbasich told Winfrey he remembered Jan. 22, the day his son killed Hurley, as a typical day when he dropped his son off at Hurley’s home. About a half-hour after dropping Daniel off, he got a call from Daniel, who was “freaking out,” he told Winfrey. He would soon find out Daniel hit Hurley in the head with a pickle jar and stabbed him repeatedly.
