A tattoo-crazed Georgia man who was sentenced to life in prison for sexually assaulting his fiancée's 12-year-old daughter told a judge he was "a good father until then."
Shalin Ren Payne, who has ink covering his entire face, was babysitting the girl while his fiancée was at work when he attacked her in October. The girl's 4-year-old brother was close by.
The girl's mother found Payne on top of her daughter when she returned to the Sharpsburg home, according to the The Newnan Times-Herald. She tried to stop the attack when she was hit by Payne, who fled.
Payne, 30, was later busted by deputies after trying to flee wearing only a T-shirt. He was charged with criminal attempt to commit rape, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated child molestation, cruelty to children, sexual exploitation of a child and aggravated assault.
He pleaded guilty Wednesday and was sentenced to life in prison. He will be eligible for parole in 30 years as part of the plea deal, according to the Times-Herald.
Payne asked the judge if he could see his son while he was in prison citing his parenting skills.
"I know it's a heinous crime, but it was not my normal demeanor," Payne told the judge, according to the Times-Herald. "I was a good father until then, and would like to be able to still have contact with my son while incarcerated."
Judge Emory Palmer said he did not believe that would be "appropriate," according to the newspaper.
Payne's conviction puts him on the sex offender registry.
And why would any women be involved with such.
Geez what a freak! He actually looks like a child molester.
She let this guy baby sit? The most dangerous animal on earth for a child is mama’s boyfriend.
Good taste in men, mom. Fiancee... she should get the dumb bitch of the decade award.
Anyway, cut it off and feed it to him.
Anybody who gets their face covered in tattoos already has serious mental issues...
If only he’d gotten Hillary! for his attorney!
Sooooooo, is the wedding off?
The Mom should be in prison before the freak. He’s just a FB, she’s the one responsible for the welfare of the child.
Prolly has more tats than he does.
THAT deserves a Nut-Job Conspiracy Theory ping!
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
You and Gamecock getting hitched? Isn't that special.
The stitches on his fore-head are a good start.
Methinks he’ll need a “few” more before all is said and done...
I'm envisioning something like this:
I kept looking at that, couldn’t decided if those were stitches or part of the tat-orama.
With a name like gamecock?
Were I gay or female...
I thought the mark of the beast was supposed to be on the forehead or the hand. This dude’s doing it wrong ...
