pretty sick story..
2010 story:
James Prindle was babysitting his little stepsister along with two friends -- 12-year-old Micah Scheulin and his brother Noah Scheulin, 14 -- at his Memphis apartment. He told police that a masked robber broke into the apartment to steal his video game console...
But before the bad guy left, he also beat Prindle's 23-month-stepsister on the head and raped her.
Police, however, became immediately suspicious of the story. Noah Scheulin said the robber was white. Pindle said he was black. There was no sign of forced entry, and it appears that someone gave the little girl a bath before police arrived to get rid of evidence, which is normally not a robberly thing to do.
There were also signs that the boys are congenital shitbags. At age 14, Noah had already racked up charges for auto theft, assault, vandalism and disorderly conduct. 12-Year-old Micah has previous charges for assault and possession.
There were further indications that the girl had been held down while she was raped. She suffered serious head trauma and was released after spending a week in the hospital.
Now Prindle, who has no previous record, is being tried as an adult for rape, child abuse, and false reporting. Noah is being charged with facilitation of rape and child abuse. Due to a lack of evidence, all charges against Micah have been dropped.
Memphis, TN -
A Memphis jury has found 17-year-old James Prindle guilty of raping a 23-month-old girl. The jury took all day on Friday to convict Prindle on all counts.
Prosecutors claimed Prindle committed the disturbing act against the toddler while babysitting at Cordova Creek Apartments in August of 2010. Though just 15 at the time, he was later charged and indicted as an adult.
"There's no DNA, no semen, no blood stain. You'll hear how the child was bleeding but nothing links James to the sexual assault," said Prindle's defense during opening arguments.
Prindle was accused of bathing the child before running to a neighbor for help. Prosecutors say he told that neighbor a lie that a "large black man wearing a mask broke into the apartment," that police later disproved.
The next story Prindle told, according to prosecutors, was that his friends were responsible for the rape. His defense attorney says he lied about the robber because he was trying to stay out of trouble with his mother for having friends over when he was supposed to be babysitting.
"He's hanging out with friends, high, running the apartment complex. That's what he was doing, making up stories lying about being in the apartment every time he was left alone for hours," claimed the defense.
Prindle's attorney says Prindle, who had not only smoked marijuana but had taken Xanex, wasn't home at the time of the rape and says once he found the little girl beaten and bruised he did everything he could to help her.
