Idaho

Man convicted of using iPod to lure potential rape victims sent to prison:

You remember Stephen Newman don’t you? He’s the guy from Idaho who tried luring women he could rape by offering them a free iPod on craigslist.

He was convicted of attempted rape during the summer. He’s now been sentenced to 15 years and will be eligible for parole after he’s served at least half his sentence.

Newman’s lawyer is appealing stating that there was no evidence that Newman was going to harm anyone.

Really? Not even the ski gloves, the realistic looking pellet gun, or the large kitchen knife? What about all the internet searches about rape and its penalties? That’s not evidence enough?

Two Meridian men admit to giving meth to 15-year-old girl for sex:

The other two thirds of the Idaho teen prostitution and meth ring have entered guilty pleas. Previously Lindsey J. McKeehan had entered a guilty plea and was supposed to testify against the other two suspects, Colby Watson and Douglas Winberry. Apparently that was enough for Watson and Winberry to start looking for their own deals.

All three suspects were alleged to have given meth to 15-year-old girl so they could have sex with her and pimp her out on craigslist.

Craigslist prostitution suspect pleads guilty:

I’ve posted about Douglas Winberry, Lindsey McKeehan and Colby Watson of Boise, Idaho before. They’re the trio who are accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl, giving her meth, and pimping her out on craigslist.

Back in August the trio all pleaded not guilty. However Lindsey McKeehan has recently changed her plea to guilty.

The Ada County Prosecutor’s office says Lindsey McKeehan has now plead guilty to two counts of felony injury to a child: one count of giving a teen meth, and then the second charge is for having sexual contact with a teen and letting a man watch.

As part of her plea McKeehan will testify against her ex-boyfriend Watson. Even with her plea she’s still looking at 10 years behind bars.

Man that’s a whole lot of people who aren’t supposed to be victims.

Ada County jury finds man guilty of attempted rape after posting Craigslist ad offering free iPod:

Our favorite iPod offering would be Idaho craigslist rapist, Stephen Newman, was found guilty of attempted rape.

It seems the Newman had a predilection for rape as he would take videos of himself and an ‘actress’ who would pretend to be raped. Not to mention the fact the items he was found with.

The jury only deliberated for three hours.

No word on when sentencing will be yet.
