CANTON, N.Y. -- The St. Lawrence County woman accused of helping her boyfriend kidnap two Amish girls studied the psychology of rape as a college student.

Nicole Vaisey was a senior psychology major at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa. in 2011 when she published research about the effects of watching pornography on attitudes toward rape.

Vaisey's hypothesis was that participants who saw sexually suggestive images would blame the victims more than those who had not.

Vaisey, 25, and Stephen M. Howells II, 39, of 1380 county Route 21 in Hermon, are both charged with two counts of first-degree kidnapping. Not guilty pleas have been entered on their behalf. More charges may be filed, according to the prosecutor.

St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain has said the girls, ages 7 and 12, were sexually assaulted during their 24 hours in captivity.

Vaisey and Howells are accused of kidnapping the girls from a roadside vegetable stand and taking them to their home, about 16 miles away, in rural northern New York.

Go figure, the MSM can find that out but is still clueless on the blank history of Obama......

“Vaisey’s hypothesis was that participants who saw sexually suggestive images would blame the victims more than those who had not.”

Sounds like a typical radical feminist proposition.

I wonder what their careers were... I suspect something dealing with healthcare.

I just now heard on the Michael McCullough show that the family that took the little girls in and delivered them to their parents, just had their barn burned down.

In return, the entire family and friends of the little girls are going to descend on that family's farm and rebuild their barn for them........

I guess she was just testing out her research theories. So now let’s test out some ballistics theories.

Honest Injun... it was just a guess because these day healthcare positions such as LPNs or CNAs (probably RNs too) are well suited to sociopaths looking to be in positions to be able to prey upon others at will. It can be something as small as a dismissive attitute, like ignoring a patient’s fears and anxieties... resetting the call button annunciator panel and going on about their tasks... to willfully inflicting harm. Intentionally missing that vein... wrenching a cather around to inflict the most agony... you get the idea.

Consider what out greatest fears are... being lonely, being sick, dying... A nurse can really use those fears to his or her advantage.

Then again, I am very sensitive about injustice, or people hurting each otherthrough neglect... The scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest where Jack Nicholson snaps and starts choking the life out ofNurse Ratchet... I felt it was warranted.

Once again, a “psychiatrist” turns out to be nuts.

95% of psychiatrists and “therapists” I meet are themselves at least oddballs at worst, severely deranged. IMHO, their own mental illness attracts them to what is deemed a legitimate study and justification of their problems.

And a 12-year-old and a 7-year-old outsmarted the psychology professor and the registered nurse.

He raped an 8 year old. And thanks to Anthony Kennedy, he cannot be executed for it.

Sounds like the couple arrested may just be the tip of the iceberg, and that a larger group might be involved.
