A 36-year-old Newport News woman remained jailed without bond Wednesday on charges that she prostituted her 10-year-old daughter in exchange for crack cocaine, police said.
At the hotel, Police Cpl. Allison Good said, the woman offered her daughter to Joe Slade, a 57-year-old Hampton man, in exchange for crack cocaine. Later that night, Slade raped and sexually assaulted the girl, police said.
He was arrested late Saturday by Hampton police and booked into the city jail on charges of rape, aggravated sexual battery, forcible sodomy and conspiracy to commit forcible sodomy. Police arrested the girl's mother in Newport News on Monday and booked her into the Hampton jail on charges of rape, aggravated sexual battery, forcible sodomy and conspiracy to commit forcible sodomy.
She also was charged with detaining her daughter for prostitution. Additional charges were possible, authorities said.
Two former Chilhowie police officers are charged with committing sex crimes against a 17-year-old girl during a Halloween haunted house that raised money for sexual-assault victims, Virginia State Police said Wednesday.
A Smyth County grand jury indicted former Chilhowie police Chief Dwayne Sheffield and former Sgt. Brian Doss on charges including rape, object sexual penetration, felony child endangerment, sexual battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The charges are linked to incidents between Oct.
23 and Nov. 1 at a haunted house the department operated as a fundraiser for a shelter for abuse victims, according to the indictments.
In early May, the Chilhowie Town Council voted 5-0 in a special meeting to terminate Sheffield and Doss.
Sheffield resigned the following morning and Doss later was fired.
The haunted house raised more than $2,500 for Family Resource Center, a regional resource for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and the Cancer Outreach Foundation, Sheffield previously said.
The irony of this is sickening.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Beaverton man was sentenced Monday to more than 24 years in federal prison after posing online as a teenage boy dying of leukemia to coerce young girls into sending him sexually explicit images.
Joshua Kistler, 31, chatted regularly with at least nine girls across the country who ranged in age from 12 to 14. He used the condition to gain the girls' sympathy, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
He did send them pictures of his stepson, an actual 15-year old, to further his story, authorities said.
Several victims said they loved and trusted Kistler, who asked them to send photos of them nude or perform sexually explicit acts for him in front of Web cams.
The victim whose case led to Kistler's arrest was a Utah girl who started chatting online with him when she was 12.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Kistler told he victim he had cut off contact with another girl because of the victim's jealousy and that the other girl had killed herself.
Overcome with guilt, the Utah girl attempted suicide, which drew the involvement of law enforcement.
The girl attempted suicide a second time after the mother tried to stop the relationship.
Kistler also posed as the stepfather of his online character.
In one case, a victim and her mother visited the "stepfather" during a family trip, believing the teenage boy was away receiving treatment.
Kistler told agents that he knew what he was doing was wrong and that he'd always "been a collector."
According to court documents, Kistler had computers that contained files of movies of young women, some taken without their knowledge.
He also had thousands of images of child pornography.
What 'they' should do: Is there anyway that 'they' could give him leukemia. It would be only fitting.
BARNEGAT — A 5-month-old girl died Saturday from injuries police say she suffered at the hands of her mother's boyfriend.
The infant, Alivia Foster, was taken Thursday to Ocean Medical Center in Brick by her mother, 22-year-old Shalonda Foster, Ocean County Prosecutor Thomas F. Kelaher said.
After being evaluated, the baby was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where she died. Authorities said she suffered numerous broken bones, had bite marks on her body, several deep abrasions on her back and a protruding bruise on her head.
The mother's boyfriend, 24-year-old Shaun Horsey, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He was being held on $150,000 bail in the Ocean County Jail.
Kelaher said Horsey is not the baby's biological father but lived with the mother and her child in a room at the Barnegat Motel on South Main Street (Route 9).
Details of the beating, including where exactly it happened and the whereabouts of the mother at the time, could not be determined.
I would hope that those charges will be amended to, at the very least, second degree murder. If anyone ever needed killin', it's this piece of garbage.
