Alabama "Rape Bait" Case Is Spectacularly Callous and Evil

In 2024, a teacher’s aide carried out a plan to use a special needs student—a 14-year-old girl—as rape "bait" to "catch" a male student who had a history of sexual violence. More details in the Case against Sparkman Middle School administrators were revealed today by The Huntsville Times, and they are gruesome.

All the administrators at Sparkman Middle in Huntsville, Alabama who oversaw this plot in 2024 have kept their jobs or been promoted. June Simpson, the aide, resigned. New details from depositions and sworn affidavits from 2024-2012compiled by the Times reveal that the administrators should lose their jobs. Here’s how the plot went down, according to a Justice Department brief:

Simpson and [the girl] … went to Vice-Principal Dunaway’s office, where Simpson told Dunaway about her plan to use [the girl] as bait to catch [the boy]. Dunaway did not respond with any advice or directive.

[The girl] left Dunaway’s office, found [the boy] in the hallway, and agreed to meet him for sex. [The boy] told [the girl] to go to the sixth grade boys’ bathroom and she complied. No teachers were in the bathroom to intervene, and [the boy] sodomized [the girl]

And here’s more con**** from the Times:

Simpson, physical education aide, affidavit:
After Ms. Dunaway ended her telephone call I discussed the situation with her directly, and told her that I had suggested to (the girl) that she meet (the boy) in the restroom so he could be caught in the act. I told them "I hope this is legal I don’t know what I’m doing." Ms. Dunaway appeared disinterested … Ms. Dunaway showed me some pictures of some tile on the cell phone.

Dunaway claims she had no knowledge of the plan.

Perhaps most upsetting is the victim’s sworn affidavit, where she says she "didn’t want to" go through with the plan. She said she "was trying to walk slow" so that someone would come help her before the boy hurt her. Then this happened:

The girl’s handwritten statement on Jan. 22, 2024:
I told Ms. Simson (sic) today and she said tell him yes and they was going to bust him. I went down there and he said pull your pants down and he turned me around and pulled it out and stuck me about six times and the teacher came in….

After administrators finally found the two in the bathroom, Assistant Principal Teresa Terrell said she told the girl she’d be suspended. "Just off the top of my head, I was—I was aggravated," she said.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is currently determining whether or not the Case against the school board and the administrators should continue.

‘Cold and callous’ murders of McStay family solved, authorities say

This was a case that I’d been wondering about for a while. At first, the whole family disappeared. And no**** knew if they were alive or dead. Then, they found their remains, but still had no idea who did it. They finally made an arrest – and the guy was a business partner of the husband.

(CNN) — Almost a year to the day after an off-road motorcyclistfound the remains of a California family who had vanished from their home in 2024, authorities announced Friday they had arrested the man they believe is responsible for the deaths.
Charles "Chase" Merritt is charged with four counts of murder in the deaths of Joseph and Summer McStay and their two small boys, San Bernardino County, California, District Attorney Michael Ramos told reporters at a news conference.
Merritt, 57, was arrested Wednesday without incident in Chatsworth, California, Detective Chris Fisher said.
Police say they believe the family died of "blunt force trauma" inside their home north of San Diego, but they declined to discuss specifics of the deaths or a motive.
Who killed the McStay family?

Merritt, who was a business partner of Joseph McStay’s, was scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon, Ramos said.
In an earlier interview with CNN, Merritt said he received a phone call from Joseph McStay the night they disappeared, but didn’t answer it because he was busy and tired.
"There are hundreds of scenarios," he told CNN at the time. "I have gone over all of them in my head. Of course I regret not picking up the phone."
On Friday, McStay’s brother, Michael McStay, choked back tears in thanking investigators for their work on the case.
"You have no idea what this means," he said.
5 questions about the McStay case
Police who searched their home days after the family disappeared found eggs on the kitchen counter and bowls of popcorn in the living room, along with the family’s two dogs. There were no signs of a struggle.
Despite finding the family’s SUV in San Ysidro, California — where it had been towed from the Mexican border — and video surveillance that showed a family matching the de******ion of the McStays crossing the border, authorities had no clue what happened to them until the discovery of their bodies on November 11, 2024.
A motorcyclist passing through the area found the remains in two shallow graves not far from Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County, more than 100 miles from the family’s home north of San Diego.
Authorities identified the remains using dental records. At the time, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said the killings appeared to be "extremely orchestrated" and carried out by more than one person.
But after reviewing 4,500 pages of investigative records, executing 60 search warrants and conducting 200 interviews, investigators zeroed in on Merritt, concluding he had acted alone in killing the family in their own home, San Bernardino authorities said.
He declined to say what specifically led them to that conclusion.
Fisher did, however, say there was no evidence the family had traveled to Mexico after their disappearance, calling the border video "unrelated" to the case.
"We don’t think it’s them," he said.
Ramos said he has not yet decided whether he will seek the death penalty in what he called a "cold and callous murder of an entire family."
The disappearance of the McStays
Joseph McStay’s mother credited investigators for their strength and determination to solve the case.
"I need justice from the law and the courts and to get to talk to the judge," she said. "And most of all, justice upstairs for my lovely family."
