FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A father sodomized his 18-year-old stepson to avenge the teenager's alleged rape of the man's 8-year-old daughter, police said.
The father, 32, turned himself into to authorities on Friday and was released from jail Saturday after posting a $17,500 bond. He faces a charge of aggravated sexual assault.
The stepson was arrested Jan. 2 and charged with suspicion of aggravated sexual assault. Police say the father caught him assaulting his daughter, and a subsequent examination at a hospital revealed the girl had been sodomized.
Sgt. Cheryl Johnson, supervisor of the Fort Worth sex crimes unit, said in a story posted Saturday on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Web site that people need to "allow the criminal justice system to work for them."
"This is a very unique case, but we have a criminal justice system in place, and no one can take the law into their own hands," Johnson said.
The Star-Telegram didn't identify the father or the stepson to protect the identity of the girl. Fort Worth police didn't immediately return phone and e-mail messages from The Associated Press.
When the stepson was arrested, the man warned his wife not to get the teenager out of jail. She posted bond for the teen's release. When he called home Jan. 3 after getting released, the father took the call and picked him up, police said.
Instead of taking the teenager home, the Arlington man drove to an abandoned house in Fort Worth, beat his stepson with a baseball bat and sodomized him with a metal tool, police said.
After the man left, the stepson found a pay phone and called police, who searched the abandoned home.
"We did find evidence at the scene to corroborate our victim's story," Johnson said.
The father is NOT GUILTY if I’m on the jury.
Think how the girl felt when the stepson did this to her.
I can understand kicking his a-s, but (expletive) him UP the a-s is a little perverse, albeit not at the level of molesting an 8 year old.
“Do onto others...” Pretty sick, but I would let the guy walk myself, I tend toward the “eye for an eye” type justice myself.
Sorry, I didn’t read the whole article. I thought that he had used another “tool” which would have been sick...
The Dad should have killed him when he caught him in the act.
I’d beat him with a baseball bat, yeah, but the rest...ugh. I would try to get the kid tried as an adult and then the prison can have its way with him. That’s enough revenge.

From the article - ...beat his stepson with a baseball bat and sodomized him with a metal tool...
Unless he's a cyborg I don't think he (expletive) the step son.
Not guilty.
The wife needs to listen to her husband as well. Shouldn’t have posted bail for the punk.
This sounds like “sharia” justice.
Shouldn’t have posted bail for the punk.
I’m sure she belives her little angel is innocent. Even though her husband caught him in the act. It’s all a misunderstanding. Just ask her.
I have a feeling that this guy's going to divorce his stupid wife as soon as he can.
Okay, when YOUR daughter gets violated and her innocence is taken away by a schmuck, ...
You know, people nowadays just don’t value certain things as much as they did. Or value others as much as they used to. This girl was his daughter, the one you will walk down the aisle someday to, the one you protect and try to keep pure ...
NEver mind. you won’t get it.
If these facts are correct as stated in the article, I am willing to donate money towards this man’s defense.
Yea... but he sodomized an 8 year old... his step sister no less. If that doesn’t warrant something out of the 6th century I don’t know what does.
Didn’t the wife know her husband?
He told her not to post the stepson’s bond and to leave him in jail. That was for his (the stepson’s) protection.
I understand the father’s rage and not guilty would be my response if I were on the jury
Don’t confuse sharia with good old fashioned justice.
You think this is bad? Back in the olden days of this country this kid would’ve been dead either by the guys’ hands or by a court sentence.
Don’t kid yourself. Today we are a far cry away from the heavy sentences our forefathers meted out as justice.
Yep, I work with a guy whose wife is the same way. His stepson (her son) is always in and out of jail for stuff but “He didn’t do it. The cops are lying.” all the time.
Denial: not just another river in Egypt.
