Case Story |
|
| |
Young Girls' Families Searching For Justice |
|
| |
The U.S. Marshals in Louisiana are looking for accused rapist John Stephens. Agents say Stephens is the kind of fugitive that needs to be taken off the streets -- and fast. Stephens is wanted by the Ascension Parish (La.) Sheriff's Office for Aggravated Rape, and Aggravated Oral Sexual Battery.
Sexual assault is a horrific crime, but Stephens' victims were both juveniles, which makes his crimes more inconceivable. Police say Stephens' first victim was 10 years old when he and another male fondled her on several occasions. The victim reported the incidents to the police, and Stephens was charged with Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile.
The second case against Stephens stems from accusations that he and another offender took turns repeatedly raping an 8-year-old girl. Police say the attack occurred around March 25, 2000, when Stephens and another offender observed the young girl at her house. Police say they lived in the victim's neighborhood.
Cops tell us that the victim and the two men were playing a card game and at some point, the girl asked Stephens for some money that he was holding. Stephens allegedly told the girl that he would give it to her, if she would show them her private parts.
Police say the girl refused, and that's when Stephens and the other offender took the girl behind a boat in the neighborhood and forced her to lay down. Police say they then took turns raping her while the other one watched.
Police say the girl screamed several times during the assault, which got the attention of her brother. Stephens and his partner in crime were worried they were going to get caught, so they let the girl go. Police say the victim went home and told her parents what had happened. |

Could There Be More Victims? |
|
| |
Police say Stephens and the other offender were arrested on March 28, 2000, shortly after the incident, but Stephens fled the area before his court date. Police say he hasn't been seen since December 17, 2002.
Investigators have learned that Stephens has been working construction in Arkansas, Alabama and South Carolina. Police really want this guy in custody. They believe that Stephens may have molested other victims, and they need the public's help to track him down. |
