Stephen Newman

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?

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.
