Ryan McAfee, 19, of Johnstown, was convicted Wednesday by a Cambria County jury of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and related offenses. He faces at least five years in prison and possibly more than 70 years at his scheduled Feb. 10 sentencing.
The assault happened a year ago. McAfee isn't related to the baby but knew the child's 19-year-old mother, who wasn't charged.
McAfee did not testify, but as he was led from the courtroom he denied assaulting the child. Police said that at one point, McAfee told police, "I did it," but then denied doing so. McAfee did admit that he may have gotten a "little rough" while bathing the child.
Defense attorney John Kasaback said the jury acted on sympathy for the child, rather than evidence. Someone else could have assaulted the child when McAfee and the boy's mother left the home to buy drugs, he said.
The child's family said the boy is now 18 months old and has recovered from his physical injuries. The child is in the care of the county's Children and Youth Services.

involuntary deviate sexual intercourse Huh?
Not voluntary for the victim. That is, with a victim who didn't, or couldn't, consent.

He is not a man. He is not human. He is a creature. Some sort of fiend.

I don't think this guy's gonna last very long in jail. They don't treat child rapists very well in there.

I'm not going to judge anybody's lifestyles," he said. "We don't have any prejudice or bias." I guess Mr. Davis wants us to love him because he's so open-minded. I'd love to see the viewership of the Rose Parade go in the toilet next year when people find out about this.

It is an awkward construct but made necessary because deviant sexual intercourse between consenting adult deviants is not illegal.

Martinez-Hernandez is scheduled to be in court Feb. 3 for a probation report and possible sentencing. I hope they've already typed the bench warrant for failure to appear; save some paperwork.

Have we ever tested what happens if somebody gets strapped to a rail gun and shot into a brick wall at seven or eight hundred miles an hour? |

I hope they sent him to my old PA Dept. Of Justice employer, State Correctional Institute at Graterford. That's one of the largest maximum security prisons in America, located west of Philly. They will welcome him there with open ... hmmmmmmm ... well, you know what I mean.
