23yo Indiana infant murderer sentenced to 60yrs
in jail after rape charges dropped
Shaylyn Ammerman - brutally raped and murdered by Kyle Parker
A southern Indiana man accused of kidnapping, raping and murdering a 15-month-old baby girl has been sentenced to 60 years in prison after a judge accepted his plea bargain that dropped all molestation and sexual-related charges, AP reports.
Kyle Parker, 23, was drinking with the victim’s uncle on the night of March 23, 2016, and after waiting for everyone else to fall asleep, he kidnapped the toddler. He then raped, beat and strangled the child before dumping her body along the shore of the White River near Gosport, 40 miles southwest of Indianapolis.
Parker plead guilty to kidnapping and murder at the beginning of February but his plea deal did not involve any charges of rape or sexual molestation of a minor.
Judge Lori Thatcher Quillen explained the plea bargain by saying that while Parker had admitted his crimes, the main factors in accepting the plea deal were the lack of DNA evidence and the risks associated with seeking a harsher conviction which may not have stuck.
Wait - he admitted raping her? Is that what she is saying? What need is there of DNA evidence if he admitted it? And even if he didn't, the autopsy showed severe sexual trauma. How can that be explained in any way other than Parker raping her? Unless he kidnapped the child, gave her to a friend to rape and then took her back and murdered her - that makes no sense. Sometimes you have to wonder what these people are smoking? But at least he got 60 years.
The autopsy report indicated that the victim suffered severe sexual trauma before dying from asphyxiation.
Judge Quillen described Parker’s actions as “pure evil,” as cited by AP.
"When I found out she had been murdered, I wanted to find who was responsible for this. I wanted to die, too," the victim’s father told reporters.

Charges have been dropped against a UAH professor arrested earlier this month for child sexual abuse.
On Monday, Madison County District Court Judge Claude E. Hundley III granted a motion from prosecutors to drop charges against Massimiliano Bonamente.

Bonamente was also involved in a civil case that involved the children, prosecutors said.

PORTLAND, Oregon — A well-known member of the Portland jazz community is accused of sexually abusing four women.
Police received a complaint about 68-year-old musician Thara John Memory in September 2016 about his conduct with a student. Through that investigation, police found out Memory had more potential victims dating back to 2013.
According to an indictment filed Monday, Memory is accused of sexually abusing four women, two of whom were under 18 years old during the alleged incidents.
Memory was charged with eight counts of sex abuse, two counts of attempted sex abuse and one count of harassment.
Police believe there could be more victims that haven't yet come forward. If you have any information, contact Detective Jeff Myers at 503-823-0595, jeff.myers@portlandoregon.gov.
Memory has been a mainstay in the Portland jazz scene since the 1970s. He has played with musicians like Natalie Cole, James Brown and Dizzie Gillespie. He has offered lessons to young and old students, and has also taught at Portland State University, Portland Community College and Marylhurst University. He has also spent time teaching at Wilson High School in Portland and Beaverton's Arts and Communications Magnet Academy.
He won a Grammy award in 2013 for his arrangement in "City of Roses" by Esperanza Spalding. In 2014 he was awarded an honorary doctorate of music degree by the Berklee College of Music.

Newark day care worker gets prison for
child sex abuse
Jessica Masulli Reyes , The News Journal
A 21-year-old day care teacher has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after surveillance cameras caught him kissing one of his students.
Anthony Rodriguez, 21, was also sentenced to six months of work release or home confinement and must register as a Tier 3 sex offender, according to the Delaware Department of Justice.
Parents, daycare owners, do not allow men to work in daycares and do not allow men to babysit your children. It is a risk that is not worth taking. There are far too many stories like this on this blog.
Camera footage from Kidz Inc. Academy in Newark showed Rodriguez kissing one of his students on the lips twice on July 28, 2015, according to court documents.
After this was discovered, the child was interviewed at A.I. duPont Hospital for Children and told an investigator that Rodriguez had reached inside his swimming trunks at his birthday party the month before, the court documents said.
Rodriguez was fired from the day care and charged with crimes related to sexual offenses against three children.
He pleaded guilty in October to sexual solicitation of a child and two counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a child by a person in a position of trust.
Rodriguez was sentenced in Superior Court in Wilmington and was ordered to have no contact with the victims or their families and to have no unsupervised contact with anyone under 18, the DOJ said.
The case was handled by Deputy Attorney General Jan van Amerongen.
