Tennessee Hate Crime worthy of Law & Order: SVU

This is so far beyond disturbing that I can’t handle it. And it just sounds like a plot from SVU, it’s horrible.

Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were car-jacked by five men and one woman.  They raped Christopher, then cut off his penis, set him on fire, and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon to watch.  An even more cruel fate awaited her!

Channon was beaten and gang-raped in many ways that lasted for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her.  Then they cut off her breasts and put chemicals in her mouth…and then they murdered her.

The District Attorney General of Knox County announced the long list of charges now facing the five suspects in the double murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

Randy Nichols, the District Attorney, is not saying whether or not he will seek the death penalty but does say the State will seek conviction for all charges filed in a 24-page indictment from the Knox County Grand Jury.

15-year old raped while students watched

Written on October 29th, 2009 by Johnno shouts

A 15-year old was raped Saturday night after a homecoming dance at Richmond High School in suburban San Francisco.  Police say the rape went on for at least 2 1/2 hours behind the school in a dimly lighted alley behind the school.  California law states it is illegal for someone not to call 911 if they witnessed a crime against a child.  But the age limit of “a child” is fourteen, therefore the police are unable to arrest the ten witnesses that just stood there and did nothing.

The 15-year old was raped by at least ten guys so any help towards making an arrest is definitely needed.  The victim was found right before midnight unconscious near the bleachers.  She was in critical condition and had to be airlifted to the hospital.  A rape kit was done and the evidence shows that the rapist had done multiple sexual acts.  A witness overheard some of the suspects bragging about the incident the night of the rape.

The school board states the school and police are to blame because the area was not being watched as well as it should.  The school board had a meeting on Tuesday to discuss safety and ensure the community that the school is safe and will be monitored more properly.  The 15-year old is still in the hospital and recovering.
