Now I have heard it all --- An ACCIDENTAL RAPE!!!!

One of the things I have learned in life is that the really smart criminals have a ready made somewhat believable pre-arranged 'excuse' for their behavior on the chance they might be caught. This is not one of the really smart criminals.

Not buying his folly at all. A rape is never an accident. Maybe he did not premeditate what happened. However, him pulling down his pants and defiling the girl can never be an accident. An accident is not preempted.

This guy is sick , if I were the mother of that child I would accidentally take a knife to a certain part of his anatomy , xx

I'm all for an 'accidental' hanging. Even listening to his version, for it to work, that would mean he and the girl would have been sleeping naked for his 'dream' to happen. That's a whole other problem. The bail wasn't set high enough in my opinion.

I think he should accidently fall accross a sardine tin lid as he's trying to put his pants on.

I guess he thought he was having the ultimate "wet dream"? Is his defense that he sleep screws? This guy is a real jerk. What was that little one doing in bed with him if he did not have premeditated illicit intentions. Even if he tries to say that he is nuts he is not going to get out of this one. At least I hope not.

It is very sad that in our country he can have good lawyer and get out from prison. I hope it will never happen, but we know how this system works. Any time someone claim mental health problem, lawyers get paid, victims get nothing and criminal is free. There was only one big accident, Titanic... The rest is under question... My question is, how come he was taking care of 5 years old? As long as I know, babysitters are females...

Firstly, anyone who still has a few brain cells left, will know that rape isn't accidental no matter which way it is looked at. One can slice it, dice it or mince it and it is still rape. Rape of a minor no less. Secondly, if you aren't the parent of the child, you shouldn't be in bed with them, even if they had a bad dream, ok maybe sleep in the same room, so the child will go back to sleep, but not in the child's bed or vice versa. I have had both my son and daughter sleep in my bed with me, but that was only on the occasion that severe weather was in the area, or I was just to lazy to go back to their rooms to put them back to bed after them having a bad dream. In which, even at most tired, I know that it is still a child within my bed, and would never do that sort of thing or even think of doing that sort of thing. In any case, my thoughts and prayers are with the little girl and her family. I hope that man gets what's coming to him and hope he never sees the light of day again.

That's a stupid attempt to reduce his punishment. The jury and judge shouldn't buy any of it. I hope he gets the maximum punishment. I hope he burns in hell for what he did.

That is the lamest mess I have ever heard. They should give him an extra ten years just for coming up with that crap. I want to know why the mother would leave her five year old daughter with a 25 year old man who lived alone in the first place. I mean was he any relation, a friend from work, or a next door neighbor? What made this mother so trusting of him? Was he her boyfriend? My aunt would come out of a bag on the mother and the man for this. I use to think that she was over reacting when she would be so protective of her grand daughter around grown men. The older I get, the more I understand.

its not accident

I answered a post this morning about a man committing robbery at a store. He accidentally shot himself in the groin. I have a good idea. Maybe the robber and the accidental rapist should meet.This is one topic that makes me soooo angry!Accident,yeah right.

Whatever his excuse - I feel physically sick!

You are so right , where do you draw the line , let me guess , ---------------------he got spanked to much by his mommy, so therefore he i not resposible for his own actions anymore? what's next?

I hate lawyers because they will come up with the strangest defenses to try and get their client of out something that they obviously did, that they should pay for. And this is one of the cases where this man should really pay for what he did. I hate how some people actually believe the things people say too.

I don't believe this as how can rape be accidental, ofcourse accident happens but not such as rape case. How come he rape a five year old how can such accidents happen to normal people and also a twenty five year old man involved in this case. I hope such people does not exist or let not these things happen.

Talk about stupid...he might have been dreaming??? This is another point in favor of public hangings. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Oh, my God, wtf? He "accidentally" did it? Come on now. I am with you, this is something that is definitely NOT done by accident! What the f**k was he doing in the same bed as the little girl in the first place?!? This just goes to show you you can't leave your kids with everyone, even if you think you can trust them. I hope he gets "accidentally" raped in jail when he goes, that way he can know how it feels. This touches me in so many ways. A few months ago I had to go through something similar when my 13 year old cousin touched my 3 year old daughter. We are still going to court over it to this day. I have to keep a close eye on my daughter now. Even though she isn't showing any signs of depression or any other effects of it, I have to keep a close eye to make sure it doesn't, because even though she is young, she will remember it for the rest of her life. My cousin never penetrated my daughter, but this man did. And this little girl is old enough to know somewhat what is going on. She will be scarred for life, and this man, after committing this horrible act, tries to explain it off as an accident. This man needs to be under the jail!!!

its really very weird.i think the man is mentally sick .nobody can say that he raped a girl and that too accidently.i am not going to buy this story and i guess non of you will buy it.he should definately be punished orelse being sent to mental asylum.if he thinks he did it by mistake i am sure to say that this man needs medical assistance and once he is cure he should definately be punished.nobody would really be able to understand the pain that little girl went through throughout this incident.i am sure she and her family are going through a big trauma and the man needs to be punished for what he has done.

this is really sad. i pray for the immediate recovery of the child. i also pray for the relatives of this child who were also hurt because of this incident. things like this will leave a scar for life. i pray that the child overcomes this and grows up to be as normal as possible. i know that is really stretching it but one can only hope for the best in sitautions such as this. as for the offender, i have no ill will against him. i also pray that he finds it in his heart to admit his guilt. may justice be served!!!
