That is a very creepy tattoo. What seems strange to me is this seems backwards. A perpetrator usually molests then works their way up to more serious offences. Abby and Libby weren't molested. That seems strange he would kill 2 then move on to molesting.

Suspect in Lafayette kidnapping, molest seeks venue change​

A man accused of kidnapping and molesting of a 9-year-old girl wants to move his upcoming trial.

Her discovery isn't far from the high profile and unsolved murders of two girls in Delphi in 2017. Some media reports have indicated a possible link between the incidents. For that reason, Chadwell's attorney says his client can't get a fair trial and he wants a judge to move it.

Indiana Man Sentenced to 90 Years for Kidnapping and Trying to Kill Girl in 'Graphic' and 'Unimaginable' Crime

An Indiana man who admitted that he used his pet dogs to lure a 9-year-old girl into his apartment before he kidnapped, molested, and attempted to murder her will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Tippecanoe Superior Court Judge Steve Meyer on Thursday handed down a 90-year prison sentence to 42-year-old James Brian Chadwell II, who in October pleaded guilty to all of seven of the charges levied against him, including attempted murder, two counts of child molestation, kidnapping, criminal confinement, battery with serious bodily injury, and strangulation, Indianapolis Fox affiliate WXIN reported.

Chadwell had been facing a maximum sentence of 160 years in prison for his horrific offenses. His sentence included a 20-year habitual offender enhancement.

As previously reported by Law&Crime, Chadwell claimed he was “very drunk” at the time he attacked the young girl, telling authorities that he didn’t have a clear memory of what happened. He did not dispute the victim’s account of what she endured, however.

Good! Now I hope he STAYS there and doesn't get released early due to some change in the laws down the road!

 

[Tresir]

I just saw this. She was very lucky to survive this attack by the sounds of it.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Saves the cost of a trial and the poor child from testifying. That's a small blessing considering what the POS put her through.

They need to throw away the key where he is concerned.

Exactly- this piece of human garbage is toxic waste, and should be treated as such.
