Father Charged with Rape of 8 Day-Old Baby

FORREST CITY, AR – Police say a Forrest City, Arkansas man has been charged with raping his 8 day-old baby.

According to a police report, officers were called to the Forrest City Medical Center, September 1, 2008, about a baby that had been sexually assaulted. Forrest City police say the baby also had a skull fracture and had to be transferred to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock because of the severity of the injuries.

Investigators say the father attacked the infant during a visit at her 15 year-old mother's house. Police say other people were at the home at the time of the assault.

Police say Davis had no criminal record since turning 18, but could not say whether Davis had a juvy wrap-sheet. The information could not be released under Arkansas state law, said investigators.

Police say the infant’s father, 18 year-old Reginald Davis, has been charged with Rape and Second-Degree Battery. The case is still under investigation and it is unknown if any other arrests will be made, said Forrest City Police.

Davis is being held on a $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in circuit court on September 17.

Ugh. Wasn't there another story just like this one just a few months ago, too?

So why didn't the death penalty "deter" this from happening?

So I should have said........

"For everyone who is not pro choice, I give you this......"

You can't "deter" people from being stupid. You can punish them though.

This doesn't qualify under current laws for DP. This is a horrible crime, he'll get his just deserts in prison. They don't take to kindly to those who hurt women and children. Personally, I prefer throwing him to the dogs in prison rather than have him sit on death row in protective custody.

Should be.

Has no bearing on it.

This is a despicable crime but then so is the death penalty, its just state sanctioned revenge.

Isn't every punishment on the books revenge?

You speed and the county fines you X amount of dollars as "revenge."

The fine isn't revenge, it's supposed to be a deterrent. Which is why after a certain income bracket it ceases to be. They can afford the "hit".

Justice is supposed to be without emotion.

dreamcastrocks

Says who?

As long as it is based on rationality, fairness, and equity, why can't it be based off of emotion? Not all emotions are illogical.

The other reason for opposing the Dp is what it does to us, frankly I really could care less about the vast majority of the people sentenced to it.

It dehumanizes us, desensitizes our society and it doesn't provide any deterrent.
