18 year old accused of raping half-sister is sodomized by stepfather

Though the 18 year old victim is technically a victim, and that's why I'm including it, I can understand why the stepfather would take actions into his own hands. If convicted, I hope the stepfather gets the least amount of prison time, and the "victim" gets the max.

A 18 year old, accused of anal rape of his own sister, got a piece of his own medicine after his stepfather, after picking him up from jail, did the same to him.

The teen was arrested January 2nd after Arlington (a suburb between Dallas and Ft. Worth) police arrested him for suspicion of aggravated sexual assault on his 8 year old half-sister. The girl was taken to a hospital where examination revealed she had been anally raped. The stepfather issued a stern warning to his wife about helping the teen.

According to the Dallas Star-Telegram & the Associated Press:

Sgt. Cheryl Johnson, supervisor of the Fort Worth sex crimes unit, said in a story posted Saturday on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Web site that people need to "allow the criminal justice system to work for them."

"This is a very unique case, but we have a criminal justice system in place, and no one can take the law into their own hands," Johnson said.

The mother of both youths posted the bond for the teen, who was then picked up from the Arlington jail by his stepfather on January 3.

Police said that instead of taking the teenager home, the Arlington man drove to an abandoned house in Fort Worth. Inside the house, he beat his stepson with a baseball bat and sodomized him with a wrenchlike metal tool, police said.

The man left, leaving the teenager behind, police said. The stepson found a pay phone and called police. who searched the abandoned home. The pair gained entry through a board that moved, according to investigators.

"We did find evidence at the scene to corroborate our victim's story," Johnson said.
The Star-Telegram didn't identify the father or the stepson to protect the identity of the girl. Fort Worth police didn't immediately return phone and e-mail messages from The Associated Press.


The stepson does not have an adult criminal record in Tarrant County. The 32-year-old man has previously pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation in 1996 and served a 30 day jail sentences for assault with bodily injury and a 20 day sentence for marijuana possession, according to court records.

The stepfather was released Saturday January 12 on $17,500 bail.
