Sexual
Assault & Date Rape Prevention
College-aged
women are at the highest risk of being
victims of date rape -- non-consensual
sexual intercourse by a friend or
acquaintance. Alcohol or date rape drugs,
which make it difficult or impossible to
give consent or to fend off an aggressor,
are often factors. Both men and women
should be aware of the risks and take
measures to protect themselves and their
friends.
Information for Women
Alcohol is a factor in nearly
three-fourths of campus rapes. It lowers
your inhibitions and makes it harder to
make good decisions and assert yourself.
If you choose to drink, do not drink to
excess.
Date rape drugs like Rohypnol, GHB, and
Ecstasy are odorless and tasteless and
can easily be added to your drink
without your knowledge. When you go out,
get your own drink and keep it with you.
If you suspect someone has put something
in your drink, do not drink it.
Go to parties with a group of friends
and look out for each other. Leave
together.
Tell your friends about your plans for
the evening and when you will be home.
Trust your instincts. If something
doesn't seem right, leave or call for
help.
If you are sexually assaulted, report
the crime. Seek medical attention as
soon as possible.
Information for Men
When someone says "stop,"
stop.
Don't take advantage of someone who has
clearly had too much to drink and is
unable to make wise decisions about sex
or to give verbal consent.
Date rape is a crime and you can be
arrested and charged.

The real

is the title of an article

Luntz

Luntz writes: "72%
of the people . . . are
mad as hell and they're
not going to take it
anymore. It has nothing
to do with racism. No.
Their rage is about a
lack of accountability,
a lack of respect and a
lack of progress in the
nation's capital."
"Elected officials
from Washington do not
exhibit even an ounce of
respect for the voters
who pay their salaries.
It's not racial hatred
you're hearing. It's
political and economic
outrage."
"The public has not
just reached its boiling
point with Washington;
they've long since
passed it, and you see
it spilling over the
edge of the American
dreamscape."
Luntz adds, "It's
nice to know that people
still care about their
country, their
government and their
freedom."

The National
Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims
was established in 1999 by the National
Organization of Parents of Murdered
Children. It was officially
designated by both the United States
Senate and the House of Representatives
in 2007 as a day to acknowledge the
tremendous loss suffered by the families
and friends of murder victims.
In just the past 10 years our
community has suffered the loss
of almost 200 citizens to
homicide; including our three
most recent victims. The
family and friends of murder
victims tell us that the process
of getting these cases through
the criminal justice system
often inflicts additional pain
instead of helping them when
they are at their most
vulnerable. Most are
appalled by the disparity
between the rights and attention
accorded to the criminals and
the lack of consideration and
efforts focused on the victims.
In an effort to address this
disparity, the Office of the
Fayette Commonwealth's Attorney
will take this opportunity to
announce its VICTIMS
FIRST
initiative. It will be the
goal of VICTIMS
FIRST to improve
the response to and treatment of
crime victims in our community.
To achieve these goals, we will
develop and utilize community
partnerships and resources.
Some of our initial efforts will
include legislative advocacy,
new program development, and the
expansion of Victim's Services.

" ACORN

that wants to shut down the U.S.
government by overwhelming it with
demands for welfare benefits and
other forms of assistance."
"They don't like the American

"The whole goal is to
transform America into a socialist
country, or some form of socialist

The Case Of Convicted
Child Molester Michael Devlin
 |
|
Defendant
Michael Devlin
|
On October 6, 2002, 36-year-old Michael
Devlin kidnapped and
assaulted 11-year-old Shawn
Hornbeck while the boy was
riding his bike in rural Washington
County, Missouri. Devlin originally had
planned to rape Hornbeck and then strangle
him, but the 11-year-old told Devlin he
would do anything he asked to stay alive.
After he was kidnapped, the boy was held
captive for over four years while he was
sexually assaulted and tortured. Devlin
brainwashed Hornbeck to the point that the
boy viewed Devlin as somewhat of a father
figure. Hornbeck was even allowed free
reign of the surrounding neighborhood,
where his friends knew him as Shawn
Devlin.
 As
Hornbeck grew older, Devlin realized he
was no longer sexually interested in the
now 15-year-old. On January 8, 2007, he
kidnapped another boy, who was 13-year-old
Ben Ownby.
Devlin planned to get rid of Hornbeck,
since there was no use for him any more,
and replace him with Ownby. For four days,
Ownby was sexually assaulted and held by
Devlin, until local police officers
stopped by his apartment complex to serve
him an unrelated warrant. The officers
became suspicious when they saw Devlin's
truck fit the exact description given to
police by one of Ownby's friends. The
police officers eventually put all the
leads together and arrested Devlin on
January 12, 2007.
Michael Devlin pled guilty to a total of
71 felony charges, including Kidnapping,
Sexual Assault and Attempted Murder. He
faced charges in Franklin, Washington and
St. Louis counties, as well as federal
charges. Devlin received three life
sentences for his crimes and will not be
eligible for parole until he is over 100
years-old.

Identity Thief Sent To
Prison For 10 Years
This
thug shows just how easy it is to
steal someone else's identity and

ATTENTION!
 |
|
Defendant
Alden Sears
|
Alden
Sears worked as a pizza
deliveryman. But Alden Sears was
more than just a deliveryman, he was a
thief. In August and September of 2008,
after delivering pizza to unsuspecting
victims' homes, Sears would steal their
personal information - their names,
addresses, bank account numbers,
telephone numbers and credit card
information. He would then use
that information to shop on the
internet.
After receiving numerous complaints, Det.
Kevin Duane of the
Financial Crimes Unit of the Lexington
Police Department was assigned the case.
Det. Duane learned that the internet
orders were placed from the defendant's
home computer and obtained a search
warrant to search the defendant's house.
Upon searching the defendant's house,
the police found notebooks and
handwritten notes on the backs of pizza
receipts containing the personal
information of over 130 people.
The defendant kept notebooks detailing
his crimes - when items were purchased,
where they were purchased from, and
addresses where the packages were
delivered. Mail with the victims'
names on it was also found. Victims'
privacy was violated and their lives
interrupted - they had to close their
accounts, open new accounts, fight with
credit card companies and banks over the
fraudulent charges, and miss work to
testify at trial.
 |
|
Interns
Chantell Foley, Jon Strom &
Ramsey Groves all provided
valuable assistance in the
preparation of this case for
trial.
|
The defendant was charged with 14 counts
of Theft of Identity and Fraudulent Use
of a Credit Card. The jury trial
lasted 3 days. The victims came to
court to testify and evidence of the
defendant's crimes was introduced.
The defendant had a prior felony
conviction for Fraudulently Selling
Items Over the Internet.
 |
|
Prosecutors
Kimberly Henderson Baird
& Andrea Mattingly
Williams
|
The defendant was found guilty on
all counts and the jury recommended
that he serve 15 years in prison.
The judge lowered the jury's 15-year
recommendation to just 10 years in
prison. Judge James Ishmael
said that the defendant needed help
and that he was moved by the letter
written by the defendant's brother.
Throughout this entire investigation
and trial, the defendant never
showed remorse for his actions.

Kindness And Trust Repaid
With Burglary And Theft
By Intern
David Startsman
 |
|
Defendant
Christopher Chandler
|
The victims in this case were just
trying to help someone who was less
fortunate. Before they moved into
their new home, this elderly couple
hired Christopher
Chandler, age 33, to
move in some of their belongings and
do odd jobs around the house. Chandler
gained the trust of the victims, and
then took advantage of this trust by
continuously stealing their property
as he worked for them for about two
months.
In December of 2008, Chandler called
the victims and asked for assistance
with his broken down car. Five minutes
after the husband left, the wife heard
a suspicious noise in her home. When
she entered the sun room, she saw
Chandler standing there acting like he
was doing work. Chandler told the wife
that her husband was outside, and then
quickly left the house.
When the husband returned, he noticed
that his keyboard was missing. The
elderly couple then completed an
inventory of the items in their house.
The couple discovered they were
missing a large amount of jewelry,
money, tools, and other property
valued at a total of approximately
$15,000. Chandler was charged with one
count of Burglary in the Second Degree
and a second charge of Theft by
Unlawful Taking. Chandler's criminal
history shows a prior misdemeanor
conviction for Receiving Stolen
Property. On May 21, 2009, the
defendant pled guilty as charged. He
remains incarcerated and will be
sentenced on October 29, 2009.

Junior
Barnes, the 76-year-old
victim of a 2005 violent assault at the
hands of three juveniles defendants, James
Reynolds, Ronnell
Suter and Johnny
Georgetown has had to be
re-hospitalized. His most recent
hospitalization has lasted for over five
(5) weeks.
Prior to the December 19, 2005 beating
by these defendants, Mr. Barnes had
worked for the Holiday Inn North for
over 40 years, and he seldom missed a
day.
However, in the 45 months since he was
assaulted, Mr Barnes has been
hospitalized at various times for a
total of over 6 months and has to
undergo 4 surgeries, one of which was
for an orbital floor implant which
required 5 plates and 41 screws in his
face. He has permanent double vision.
Since his vicious beating he has
suffered from pneumonia, and his present
stay in the hospital is for yet another
bout with pneumonia.
It should be noted that all three of the
defendants were recently probated by
Judge Bunnell, and are on our streets,
while Mr. Barnes continues to suffer
from the injuries he sustained in the
parking lot of the Holiday Inn North.

Episode #33 - Sexual
Assault Nurse Examiner Program
 By
Intern Ramsey Groves
 |
|
Anita
Capillo
|
Anita Capillo recently made a
presentation at our office about the Sexual
Assault Nurse Examiner Program (S.A.N.E.).
Mrs. Capillo was instrumental in setting up
the program, and she has served as the
program manager of S.A.N.E. since it began
in 2000.
S.A.N.E. nurses conduct forensic
examinations of sexual assault victims. In
addition, these nurses collect and preserve
evidence and testify in court. S.A.N.E.
nurses undergo extensive training in this
area of medicine. Therefore, they are
basically experts on conducting sexual
assault exams. These nurses are very
thorough, and the forensic examination form
that they complete is a lengthy eleven pages
long.
The S.A.N.E. nurses are just part of a Sexual
Assault Response Team (S.A.R.T.)
that is also composed of a detective and a
representative from the Rape Crisis Center.
There is a S.A.R.T. room in the UK Hospital
where all of the team members come together
to meet the needs of the sexual assault
victim. All of the high-tech medical tools
are kept in this room, and the victim is
examined there. The S.A.N.E. nurses and
representatives from the Rape Crisis Center
meet the victim's health needs, and the
detective attempts to apprehend the
offender.
Lexington is very fortunate to be home to
a S.A.N.E. program. There are only three of
these programs in the state of Kentucky, and
the other two programs are located in
Covington and Louisville. The Lexington
S.A.N.E. program is a regional program. This
means that any victim that comes to the UK
Hospital emergency room can be examined by a
S.A.N.E. nurse.
Prior to the beginning of the S.A.N.E.
program, sexual assault victims would be
examined in the emergency rooms of
hospitals. While this might sound
sufficient, emergency room personnel are not
trained as extensively in this area of
medicine. Thus, the S.A.N.E. program is
vital to our community because it enables
victims of sexual assaults to receive the
best medical attention possible.
 |
|
Anita
Capillo speaks to the interns
about the S.A.N.E. Program
|
Throughout this internship, I don't
believe anything has impacted me as
dramatically as Anita Capillo's
presentation about S.A.N.E. While the
prosecutors in this office are forced to
deal with horrible crimes on a daily
basis, I am not so accustomed to
frightening stories about innocent people
being sexually assaulted and graphic
pictures revealing the injuries. Mrs.
Capillo told us story after story about
women and men who were kidnapped, beaten,
raped, or all of the above. A number of
the victims had consumed some type of
substance, most commonly alcohol, at the
time of the attack. However, many women
were not impaired in any way and were
still unable to protect themselves. This
is particularly frightening to me when I
consider that I'm currently in the age
group most prone to sexual assaults. Mrs.
Capillo's presentation definitely
instilled fear in me. After hearing her
frightening stories, I'm more conscious
about looking through the peephole before
I open my apartment door, for example.
Evidently, you truly can't be too
cautious. Victims of sexual assault are
often emotionally, mentally, and
physically scarred. The S.A.N.E. program
is helping to heal the victims of sexual
assault and collect the evidence of a
crime necessary to convict sex offenders.

Episode #34 - Autopsy And Kentucky State
Police Laboratory
 By
Intern Natasha Camenisch
The interns started this past week
with an exciting and eye-opening
visit to the Medical
Examiner's Office in
Frankfort, Kentucky, and the Kentucky
State Police Laboratory.
Both offices are located in the same
15-year-old building, Central
Laboratory Facility.
 |
|
Mike
Wilder speaks to the intern
group.
|
Upon entering the building we were
immediately greeted by Mike
Wilder, the
Executive Director of the Kentucky
Medical Examiner's Office, and
guided to a classroom. He explained
that this office was one of four in
the state. The Medical Examiner's
Offices are regional, with the other
offices located in northern
Kentucky, Louisville, and
Madisonville. The Medical Examiner's
Office operates strictly on the need
of the Coroner. When the Coroner
cannot determine the manner or cause
of a person's death, they ask this
office for assistance. Over the past
year all four facilities have
conducted 2,800 post-mortem
investigations.
The next stop on our tour was the
autopsy room. Over the weekend a
well-known doctor from the Lexington
area had been shot and killed and we
were able to observe the autopsy
from start to finish. I knew that I
would not be able to observe the
whole operation because of my weak
stomach. So, after a few short
minutes in the autopsy room, I was
the first to leave and take my place
behind the observation glass.
However, there were many brave
interns, along with Ray, that were
able to stay and observe the process
up-close. To begin the autopsy the
pathologist and assistants examined
the bullet wounds and then began to
clean the body.
 While
taking a break from the autopsy,
which is a very long and tedious
process, the interns were introduced
to Dr.
Emily Craig who is a
very well known and notable Forensic
Anthropologist. She analyzes bones
in order to determine the cause of
death and identity of the bones. She
explained to us the many different
ways to identify the remains of a
human body. After her presentation
we are now able, hopefully, to
identify between female and male and
different because of the distinctive
characteristics of bones.
 After
the short detour we were back to
watching the autopsy. The
pathologist and assistants were
preparing to open the body to
examine and weigh the victim's
internal organs. Before we knew it
they had the body open in a minute
and began to write notes and remove
organs for testing. In addition, the
brain and skull were removed during
the procedure. This is when some of
the other interns began dropping
like flies and joined me outside to
view the autopsy behind the glass
wall.
To conclude our tour of Central
Laboratory we were greeted by Laura
Sudkamp, manager of
the Kentucky State Police Central
Lab. She explained to us that this
lab conducts examinations of
evidence submitted by the Kentucky
State Police and other local
agencies in support of the state
criminal justice system. The Central
Laboratory Branch provides blood
alcohol, toxicology, Trace/Gunshot
Residue/Arson, Firearms, and DNA
testing. During our tour we were
shown the firing range, where
firearm specialists match bullets
and gunshot residue to the suspect's
gun.
This experience was fascinating and
one that we will never forget. Both
the autopsy and the Kentucky State
Police Laboratory are an integral
part of the criminal justice system.
