Parents Charged With Raping Their 1-Day Old Newborn

I hope someone on their jury has the courage to refuse to make martyrs of them.

Jonathan Wayne Goodrum, 19, and Kristina Louise Sawyer, 18, are charged with raping their 1-day-old girl before she was taken home from McKenzie Regional Hospital about six weeks ago, said McKenzie Police Lt. Tim Nanney.

While both parents have been charged, Sawyer's bond was reduced because police still are investigating what role, if any, she played in the possible rape of her child, Nanney said. She was charged because "I could not exclude her from being part of it, so I had to charge her also," he said. "I could not exclude her at the time from being a participant of it."

Nanney said hospital officials notified police of the possible rape after noticing injuries to the child's rear during a routine examination given before newborns are released from the hospital.

"There were some skin tears in and around the private (back) area of the child," he said.

Well, the mother, probably, is innocent. Mothers tend to nap a lot, being on sedation, after a birth.

The father... couldn't even wait to get the baby home to rape it. He raped it in the hospital.

Or so it seems.

It's possible that there is some innocent explanation for the baby's skin-tears; let's hope for that.

Or perhaps a nurse was a little too eager to find the signs of rape when other explanations were equally or more likely.

Let's hope.

Otherwise we're confronted with the idea of a father eagerly awaiting the birth of his daughter so that he can immediately violate her the moment she's out of the incubator.

Thanks, I guess, to Old Coot.
