Teens Accused of Beating Disabled Woman

CINCINNATI (AP) — Two teenagers hid overnight in a house and spent
more than six hours torturing a disabled woman after her mother left
in the morning, authorities said.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said the teenage boy and girl tied
up the 18-year-old woman, clubbed her, kicked her, shaved her head and
soaked her with water before making her walk barefoot outside in the
snow.

They also ignored pleas from the woman, who had undergone brain
surgery, not to hit her in the head, investigators said.

"This is one of the worst crimes I've ever seen," Jones said Monday.
"They are sick animals, apparently just doing this for kicks and no
other reason."

Cheyenne Blanton, 17, and Joseph Nagle, 16, both of Hamilton, were
arraigned Monday on juvenile delinquency charges that include
aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, felonious assault
and vandalism, according to juvenile court officials.

They were ordered held in the county's juvenile detention center
pending a court appearance later this week. Neither entered a plea,
and both requested court-appointed attorneys. Those attorneys had not
been named Monday.

The teens are accused of physically abusing Ashley Clark, 18, for more
than six hours Friday at her home in Hanover Township, about 35 miles
northwest of Cincinnati.

Both Jones and the woman's mother, Sheila Clark, want the teenagers
tried as adults, and Jones said the two could get 75 years to life in
prison if tried and convicted as adults.

"I want full justice for my daughter," Clark said Monday. "Those two
never need to walk the streets again."

Clark would not comment on details of the case or provide specifics on
her daughter's disabilities or injuries, other than to say that her
daughter was doing as well as possible.

"I can't understand how anyone could do this to anyone, but especially
to someone with such a beautiful, loving heart," Sheila Clark said.

Messages seeking comment on whether adult charges would be pursued
were left at the prosecutor's office Monday. There was no answer at
telephone listing for a Joseph Nagel in Hamilton. There was no listing
for Cheyenne Blanton.

Jones said the teenagers hid overnight in the basement of the Clark
home, intending to steal the car and leave town before an upcoming
juvenile court appearance date for one of the suspects.

They apparently missed their chance to get the car when Sheila Clark
left the house in it Friday morning, and they went into the kitchen to
get something to eat before going upstairs and waking her daughter,
Jones said. The pair then spent the next six to eight hours torturing
Ashley Clark, he said.

The mother realized something had happened when she came home, saw the
house ransacked and called 911. A neighbor also called the sheriff's
department to report two juveniles in the neighbor's yard.

Detectives apprehended the teenagers a few minutes later in nearby
woods after following their footprints in the snow, Jones said.

Anyone in the area know what happened to the two monsters, if anything
yet?

I'm from the Deep South and I know this sort of thing is frowned on
nowadays, but they should probably be sterilized for starters.... <eg>

These cretins should also be charged under federal civil rights and
hate crime laws.

I have been examining the Americans with Disabilities Act to see if it
provides special penalties for assaulting the disabled, due to my own
situation, but I couldn't find anything. It will be entirely up to the local
prosecutor to file local charges.
Since they are juveniles, the liberals will hush it all up and pretend
nothing happened.

kids into a life of crime.

Trial date set for teen accused of terrorizing disabled woman

By Lauren Pack

Staff Writer

Friday, July 18, 2008

HAMILTON -- A trial date has been set for a teenager accused of
terrorizing a disabled young woman at her Hanover Twp. home in
February.

Cheyenne Blanton, 17, of Progress Lane in Hamilton, was in court
Friday morning, July 18, where she was expected to enter a plea, but
that did not occur, according to Assistant Butler County Prosecutor
Glenn Rossi.

Blanton is being tried as an adult on charges of aggravated burglary,
aggravated robbery, complicity to aggravated robbery, two counts of
kidnapping, felonious assault and vandalism.

Butler County Common Pleas Judge Andrew Nastoff set Oct. 13 as a trial
date for Blanton. Her $1 million bond is continued.

Blanton's boyfriend and co-defendant in the case, Joseph Nagle 17, of
Morley Avenue, Hamilton, is facing the same charges. He is scheduled
to appear before Butler County Common Pleas Judge Charles Pater for a
plea or trial setting on July 29.

Nagle is also being held in the Butler County Jail in lieu of a $1
million bond.

Both teens, who have a child together, are accused of assaulting
Ashley Clark, 18, all day Feb. 22, "hog-tying" her and gagging her
with a string and panties, police said.

In May, Butler County Juvenile Court Judge Ronald Craft ruled the
cases would be transferred to adult court.

My reading of that is that *she* got bailed out, some idiot put up
one million dollars to get her out on bail, or somebody actually
**paid** ten percent of that (i.e. one hundred grand) to a bail
bondsman. So that's three people who should be sterilized and
lobotomized. Does anybody know who bailed her out?

OT: I needed to check with Google to find the correct spelling of
that word, and found this horrendous report:
<http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0400/sterile.html>
Are people really doing that??? Or is that article a fraud?

<http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080628/NEWS0108/806280355>
State Sen. Eric Kearney (D-Cincinnati) is introducing a bill that
would grant people with disabilities protection under Ohio's hate
crime law.
Senate Bill 349 was prompted by February's attack of Ashley Clark, a
mentally disabled Talawanda High School senior.
