Former boyfriend used Craigslist to arrange woman's rape, police say - Page 2 - Los Ang... - 0 views

  • McDowell later told authorities that he and the woman exchanged instant messages, and she described what she wanted -- "humiliation, physical abuse, sexual abuse," according to investigators -- and gave him her home address.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Was that the boyfriend too? I mean he emailed her right?
  • Detectives said he told them he thought he was fulfilling her rape fantasy.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Who has fantasies about rape? What is wrong with him? He is stupid. Why would anyone even risk doing something like that.
  • "If I were king, I'd like to see them not run these personal ads," he said. "This is a debate we've had for a long time: . . . Do we censor the Internet?"
    • Robyn Allen
       
      This doesn't make sense. This isn't like censoring, this is protecting people. Why don't they have better security measures for posting something like this?

  • "If a woman is putting an ad online saying she'd like to be raped, I'd hope it would be stopped," he said.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      That is so true. It shouldn't be up if that was the case. Wouldn't you be able to tell if you were raping someone as opposed to fullfilling a "rape" fantasy?

Former boyfriend used Craigslist to arrange woman's rape, police say - Los Angeles Times - 0 views

  • Need a real aggressive man with no concern for women
    • Robyn Allen
       
      That is weird... Why would a woman even post that? I feel like she actually posted it.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      she didn't*
  • One week later, a man accepted the offer, forcing his way into the woman's home, tying her up and raping her at knifepoint.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Did she post her address too?
  • In fact, authorities say, the woman had nothing to do with the ad. Instead, they say, a former boyfriend had posted it, soliciting her assault.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      That is childish. Why would you wish that on anyone? Why would he do that?! What type of men is she dating that they would post that? What happened with them that he felt this was necessary?

  • The Wyoming case began to unfold Dec. 5. Jebidiah James Stipe, 27, a Carbon, Wyo., native and Marine stationed at Twentynine Palms, Calif., allegedly posed as his ex-girlfriend and placed the ad seeking an aggressive man.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      That is horrible. What in the world is his problem? Seriously, he needs to be incarcerated. I wish eh was still in the marines. Military court is way worse then regular court. The sentences are bigger and worse.

Man charged with killing three teens investigated in girlfriend's son's death - chicago... - 0 views

  • The Blue Island man charged with slaying three teenage women was investigated last summer but never charged in the May "death by neglect" of his girlfriend's toddler son.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Did they do an investigation? Was it really neglect? They should really investigate further... I don't understand people like this...
  • Pierce, who allegedly strangled two of his victims, told investigators that 17-month-old Jordan Woods had choked inside his apartment, according to a source with knowledge of the case.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      I can't imagine what I would do if something like this happened to me... Like if it was my child. I would be devestated...
  • Jordan had previously suffered a broken leg, the source said, an injury that Pierce attributed to the boy getting his leg caught in a playpen. Pierce's mother said Thursday that the boy had also had his leg mauled by a dog.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Is his mother sticking up for him? It doesn't matter who it is... If it was my son killing people or anything really, I would turn him in. I would want him to get help and I wouldn't want him to hurt anyone else...

  • Pierce's mother, Esther Pierce-Pearson, said Jordan passed out after suffering from high blood sugar linked to a diabetic condition. The night Jordan died, she said she heard a commotion in her son's apartment and found him trying to resuscitate the boy.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      So he has diabetes now? This doesn't make sense now... This has nothing to do with him having high blood sugar. He was CHOKING.
  • The toddler was reaching for him, Pierce told authorities, but he ignored the boy because he thought he only wanted attention, the source said.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Can't you tell if someone is choking? I bet he was under a lot of distress... It isn't hard to tell...
  • An autopsy found the cause and manner of death were inconclusive, according to the Department of Children and Family Services.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      But it just said he was choking... How could it be inconclusive?
  • Two months after Jordan died, Pierce allegedly raped and beat to death a neighbor, 17-year-old Mariah Edwards, then put her body in a garbage bag. Her remains have not been found, but police recovered a video from Pierce's computer of him allegedly having sex with her seemingly lifeless body.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      And they still think the baby choking is accidental? I don't. This man is guilty no matter what.
  • There were 22 cellphone calls between Windom and Pierce before her death, the final seven pinging off a cell tower a block from Pierce's home, court records say. Pierce's DNA was found on her body, though he denied having sexual contact with her, records say.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      I don't think it matters if he is denying it or not... It is pretty obvious it was him...
  • "They have nothing linking this guy to the murder," said attorney Nicholas Albukerk. "They have evidence linking him to the girls. That's a big difference."
    • Robyn Allen
       
      It is pretty fishy if it wasn't him... Yeah... It was him. There is no doubt in my mind.
  • "If they had such a great case, wouldn't they have held him?" Albukerk said. "Do they always let murderers out of jail when they have such great evidence?"
    • Robyn Allen
       
      He needs to be in jail. Now. He is a rapist and a murderer. His mother is covering for him and it isn't fair that there are so many innocent people in jail when this man who is obviously guilty is out! The only way he could be innocent is if he has someone following him and killing everybody Pierce meets! I highly doubt he does. He is sick and he is a psychopath and he needs to be locked up.

Man says obscene texts came from missing wife's phone - Nancy Grace - CNN.com Blogs - 0 views

  • Just after his wife of 14 years disappeared more than five days ago, the husband of a missing Georgia woman says he received profanity-laced text messages that were very uncharacteristic of her.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      This is like that one kidnap/murder in New York earlier in the year. Someone kidnapped a young woman in her early 20's and sent her parents messages that said stuff like, "I'm scared," or, "I'm here with this person and they won't let me leave." These messages were sent after she was dead though. I hope this woman is still alive...
  • "It's over and I'm throwing the phone out the window," read one of the messages from Wazinah Suleiman. Others contained curses, including the f-word, according to her husband, Abed Suleiman,
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Are they Muslim? Not that it matters but this man sounds like he is her father. She is a grown woman, she can speak how she wants. Unless he is trying to say she doesn't ever use bad words...
  • "That's the way she is," he said. His 30-year-old wife is a kindergarten teacher's assistant.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Oh ok, so she doesn't usually use bad words. They started havign kids young if she is only 30 and has a 12 year old...

  • Later, Wazinah Suleiman left the couple's five children, ages 6 through 12, alone while she was supposedly going to a nearby Walmart in Cartersville, Georgia, to rent a video, which she did not do. Police say there is no evidence she ever made it to Walmart.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      She could have been being black mailed... I hope that she wasn't kidnapped... Why would someone leave a 12 year old in charge of their 4 siblings though? This story seems like there might be something missing...
  • When Suleiman and his friend were about an hour from home they were informed that turkey hunting season was to begin the following weekend. They immediately turned around, Suleiman says.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      To me this seems planned... A mother left her five children home alone in care of her oldest who is only 12. The father and his friend went turkey hunting but then they conviently found out it wasnt supposed to start till next weekend... To me this just seems like it was set up...

'Sister Wives' Kody and Robyn Brown expecting a baby - CNN.com - 0 views

  • Kody Brown, the shaggy-haired patriarch who stars on TLC's "Sister Wives," and his fourth wife Robyn, are expecting a baby.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      I'm not gonna lie, I watch this show... Also it freaks me out because one of his 'wives' is named Robyn...
  • "You should have seen the look on his face when we found out," Robyn tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It was priceless."
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Probably because he already has 11 kids... I don't understand why these women aren't jealous... I know I would be...
  • The baby, due in mid October, will be the first for Kody and Robyn, who has three children from a previous marriage. This will be the 17th child for the family, which includes Kody's three other wives and their kids.
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Oh my goodness... I can't wait to have kids but I would never have that much... Ever. That is just insane. They must make a lot of money.

  • Kody and Robyn, who moved to Las Vegas with the rest of his fundamentalist Mormon family in January, were married last year during the first season of "Sister Wives." Kody is also married to Meri, his only legal wife, Janelle, and Christine.
    • Robyn Allen

  • "The other day I wanted a sip of iced coffee," she recalls, "and Aspen and Mattie (two of her sister wives' teenaged daughters) were with me and said, 'Oh no you don't. You shouldn't be drinking coffee.' It was cute. They're so protective. And I can't even tell you how many times a day I have kids kissing my belly."
    • Robyn Allen
       
      She is better then I am... I don't like other people's kids. Little kids that is. If I was her... I don't know... I just can't fathom why she isn't upset that she has a husband who has three other wives.
  • "If Kody had things his way, he'd have me go to the hospital,"
    • Robyn Allen
       
      At least he is smart about something...
  • "But I just like having home births. I'm not big into sitting around in a hospital."
    • Robyn Allen
       
      I'm not sure how I feel about this statement... I mean who likes giving birth? Like the outcome makes it worth it and you heal faster after a natural birth but I mean really, who prefers to give birth at home? Especially with like thirty other people with her? This family is just too open for me I guess.
  • So what has Kody learned after surviving 14 of his wives' previous pregnancies? "I try to always be kind and tender, but when a woman is expecting, you have to be ultra sensitive," he says. "And always do the dishes."
    • Robyn Allen
       
      Honestly if this hadn't have said "...14 of his other wive's pregnancies..." I would have thought it was very sweet. But he ruined it by being a pig. Well I can't really judge. I was raised differently then him. I was raised to look as situations like this as, if a man says he loves another woman then he doesn't deserve your love. I don't really understand their view though.
