Shelby County man now charged with rape of
5 underage girls
BY CAROL ROBINSON al.com
A young Helena, Alabama man already facing four charges of second-degree rape is now accused of sexual relations with yet another underage girl.
Helena police have charged Samuel Woods III, now 20, with two more counts of second-degree rape. He is being held without bond in the Shelby County Jail after prosecutors this week sought, and received, a bond revocation on the previous charges.
In all, Woods is accused of having sexual relationships with five girls between the ages of 12 and 16 over the past two years. He fathered a child by one of the girls.
Nearly one year ago, Alabaster police first arrested Woods for allegedly having sex in September 2015 with a girl who was 14 by the time he was taken into custody.
Samuel Woods III, 19, has now been jailed three times in less than two weeks.
A week later, Helena police arrested Woods, claiming he had sexual intercourse on June 6, 2015 with a girl who was 15 years old at the time. He was arrested in June 2016 and released from jail three days later.
Hours after his release on the Helena case, Alabaster police arrested Woods again. Each time, Woods was released on $30,000 - for a total of $120,000 in all four cases - the highest bond allowed for that charge under guidelines. A Shelby County grand jury in December 2016 affirmed the charges by issuing a four-count indictment against him. According to that indictment, the earlier cases happened September 2015, June 2015, April 17, 2016 and April 20, 2016.

Police arrest second suspect in NE Portland
child sex abuse and pornography case
by Catherine Van, KATU News
PORTLAND, Ore. — A woman's life is turned upside down after police arrested her estranged husband and her former son-in-law on dozens of charges of child sex abuse and pornography.
KATU News first first broke the story earlier this week.
Randall Henrichs, 62, pleaded not guilty to 45 charges of sex abuse, child pornography and invasion of privacy in court Monday.
Two days later, police arrested 32-year-old, Trevor Standfill who allegedly conspired with Henrichs.
Standfill's former mother-in-law, who we are calling Sandra because she doesn't want to be identified, says nobody in her family suspected either men of such lewd acts. She said Standfill was a big part of the family, a man she loved like her own son.
In a secret indictment, police accused Standfill and Henrichs of sexually abusing a child under 14 and sharing naked pictures of her along with two other women online.
Sandra is also Henrich's estranged wife. She says she married him 10 years ago and filed for divorce right after his arrest in November. She said Henrichs is now a man she doesn't even know anymore.
The same could be said about her former son-in-law.
Standfill worked as a nurse at Legacy Good Samaritan. A spokesperson from the hospital confirms he is now on administrative leave while police investigate, though there are no indications in court documents that these charges had anything to do with his workplace.
Sandra says whatever comes of the trials, it will take years before she can even come to terms with how two men close in her life turned it upside down.
Bail is set at $2,980,000 for Henrichs, that amount is more than doubled for Standfill at $5,251,500.
Both men are due in court Thursday morning.
Bail set at $6.4M for brain surgeon
charged with child rape
Officials said Kohut also discussed impregnating women to give birth to children he could sexually abuse in a so-called taboo family lifestyle
SAN FRANCISCO —
A judge set bail at $6.45 million on Wednesday for a Northern California brain surgeon charged with sexually abusing children.
Prosecutors had opposed bail for Dr. James Kohut, saying the neurologist is a public danger who recruits women to help find child victims.
The Santa Cruz district attorney’s office said Kohut also discussed impregnating women to give birth to children he could sexually abuse in a so-called taboo family lifestyle.
Prosecutors have said there is no evidence he created such a family, but they have charged him with 11 counts of sexually abusing children under the age of 14.
Kohut has pleaded not guilty.
His lawyer, Jay Rorty, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment but has previously declined the prosecutor’s allegations. Rorty argued in court papers that Kohut does not represent a danger to the public or a flight risk.
Kohut was arrested in his Santa Cruz, California home last month along with two nurses who are charged with participating in child sex abuse with the 57-year-old doctor.
If Kohut does post bail, he will be monitored electronically. He voluntarily suspended his California medical license while the case is pending and faces 165 years in prison if convicted.
Kohut was arrested four days after police arrested Rashel Brandon, a nurse who worked with the surgeon at a nearby hospital.
Brandon was arrested after her husband gave police a video recording he found that investigators say shows Brandon and another nurse, Emily Stephens, sexually abusing children.
Court records and lawyers said Brandon implicated Kohut. Brandon is also charged with sexually abusing children and her bail has been set at $500,000.
Stephens was arrested in Tuscon, Arizona and is being held there while Santa Cruz authorities seek a court-ordered transfer to Northern California to face similar charges.
Brandon’s attorney Anthony Robinson did not immediately respond phone message seeking comment. It is unclear if Stephens has retained an attorney.
Heber City bounce house operator has child porn added to child sex abuse charges
BY TAMARA VAIFANUA,
HEBER CITY – A man accused of sexually abusing two children, is also facing child pornography charges. He appeared in court for a bail hearing Wednesday, where his attorney argued he be released under strict conditions.
Bryce Johnson stood silently next to his attorney inside the Fourth District courtroom. The 33-year-old was arrested earlier this month for child sex abuse. Police say there are at least five victims.
The operator of a bounce house is now facing new charges that include 20 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. Investigators say they found pornographic images of pre-pubescent children inside his home, some of whom were involved in sexual acts.
His attorney, Susanne Gustin, pleaded with the judge to release him as his case goes through the process. Gustin reassured the judge her client would not contact any of the victims.
But prosecutors say this case is extremely disturbing on multiple levels. McKay King told the judge that the youth sports coach, ice skating teacher and foster parent is a threat to the community and should remain in custody.
“Mr. Johnson has crafted his entire life to place him in contact with children on a regular basis," King said.
In the end, Judge Jennifer A. Brown set bail for $150,000, cash only.
“We will aggressively fight the charges,” Gustin said.
Karen Martinez is watching this case closely. She says Johnson fostered her 15-year-old brother and was in the process of adopting him.
“My brother has had a rough life and Bryce was kind of that support for him, and that one person that kinda stuck around: until this.”
Mr. Johnson is due back in court August 2 for a status conference.
Waco man convicted in child sexual abuse case
By TOMMY WITHERSPOON
A former warehouse worker was convicted Wednesday of fondling a 12-year-old girl four years ago.
Jurors in Waco’s 54th State District Court deliberated about two hours before finding Justin Russell Murdoch guilty of two counts of indecency with a child by contact.
Murdoch, 31, faces from two to 20 years in prison on each count.
Prosecutors Hilary LaBorde and Christi Hunting Horse presented punishment evidence Wednesday afternoon that showed Murdoch has a prior state-jail felony conviction for theft and a misdemeanor conviction for criminal mischief for destroying a visitation monitor at the county jail. He also has three misdemeanor assault convictions, two for driving with an invalid license, and one each for theft, marijuana possession and failure to ID while a fugitive.
In defense punishment testimony, Murdoch’s wife, father and sister testified that he is a good person who is deserving of leniency.
The girl, who is now 16, testified Tuesday that she spent three or four nights in October 2013 with her best friend at the North Waco home that Murdoch was sharing with a woman and her son and daughter. Murdoch has since married the woman despite the allegations that he molested her daughter’s best friend.
The girl testified that her friend had gone to bed, her friend’s little brother was asleep on the couch and she and Murdoch were lying on the floor watching a horror movie.
She said Murdoch “brushed” his hand against her breast and she thought at first that it could have been inadvertent. But Murdoch moved his hand back to her breast and left it there longer, she said, making her uncomfortable.
Next, his hand went under her clothes, and he also groped her buttocks, she said. He also took her hand and placed it on the crotch area of his jeans, the girl said.
‘I was paralyzed’
“I remember thinking this is the type of stuff you see in movies,” she said. “I was paralyzed, and then I realized why those girls don’t know what to do. They are frozen.”
In defense testimony Wednesday, Genevieve Murdoch, the defendant’s wife who married him after the allegations surfaced, testified that she at first told Murdoch to leave her home, until she investigated the allegations and determined she didn’t believe them.
“In my heart, I felt it wasn’t true, but as a mom, I had to protect my kids,” she said.
She said she didn’t believe the allegations because her son was in the room with them the whole time.
“He wasn’t asleep. He was in and out,” she said. “He likes to pull all-nighters. That’s what he does.”
The girl testified Tuesday that after Murdoch groped her, he pulled the blanket over their heads and tried to kiss her. She was crying, and he asked her what was wrong.
She said he got up and looked worried. He left the room but came back and asked her to go outside with him. She said Murdoch apologized to her and said he thought she liked him. He made her promise not to tell anyone, which she did, and then he asked if he could hug her. She said they hugged.
“He asked her what is wrong. He thought she liked him,” Hunting Horse said in jury summations. “Did he think he was on a date? That’s the most bizarre statement. But it goes along with his bizarre behavior. It’s not a date. She’s a 12-year-old girl.”
Defense attorney Jonathan Sibley told jurors that it is possible the girl dreamed of the sexual abuse or got it confused with the abuse she reportedly suffered from another man who previously was in her life.
“What would you do if you were accused of something like this?” Sibley said. “How do you defend yourself? You have this man’s life in your hands.”
Attorneys will give closing summations Thursday morning before the jury deliberates punishment.

Testimony in 'appalling' Nashville child rape case included sex abuse of animals
by WZTV Staff
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Testimony about the sexual abuse of children and animals was brought up during a Nashville rape case which prosecutors describe as one of the most "disturbing and appalling cases they had seen."
It took a Davidson County jury less than an hour to convict Jeremy Ledbetter, 29, of two counts of rape of a child, two counts of aggravated sexual battery of a victim under 13 years old, two counts of induce sexual activity by a minor and display of sexual acts to a minor under 13 years old.
The young victim testified that the rape and abuse occurred from the time he was 10 to 12 years old.
“All victims of child sexual abuse who testify in front of their abusers are brave to do so. The young victim in this case was particularly courageous for standing up and testifying about the type of humiliating abuse he suffered at the hands of Jeremy Ledbetter,” Assistant District Attorney Chad Butler said.
Ledbetter faces up to 134 years in prison. He will be sentenced on Aug. 18.
