Rapist admits molesting girl in his custody

A Hastings man with a prior rape conviction pleaded guilty Monday to sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl after he had been granted partial custody of her.

Justin P. Farnsworth, 31, pleaded guilty in Dakota County District Court to first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving the girl. Two lesser rape charges will be dropped at his July sentencing.

The girl, the daughter of his ex-girlfriend, had been living with him and his two younger daughters for more than a year. Police said there was no indication that Farnsworth had molested the younger girls.

The mother, who was living in western Minnesota, agreed to let all three of her girls live with Farnsworth, and District Judge Joseph Carter granted his request for primary physical custody of the 9-year-old on Oct. 25. He was charged less than a month later. Farnsworth's probation for raping a 13-year-old girl in Carver County in 1994 ended last June.

At the time custody was granted, Carter didn't discuss his decision because that is forbidden by the state code of judicial ethics. However, Bar Association president David Stowman said in a prepared statement on Carter's behalf that it was based on several factors, including that Fransworth had been described as a "success story" since his prior sexual assault and that the girl's mother had asked the judge to award him custody.

County Attorney James Backstrom said Farnsworth is a "poster boy" for why harsher laws are needed to keep sex offenders under indefinite supervision, possibly for life, and use random lie detector tests to see whether they are molesting anyone. He noted that such proposals, recommended by a governor's commission in January, are being considered by the state Legislature this session.

Such controls might have protected the 9-year-old girl in this case, Backstrom said. He noted that children under age 12 account for one out of three sexual abuse victims nationally, and studies estimate that more than half of young victims don't report the abuse.

Backstrom said he will seek more than the minimum 12-year sentence required by law for Farnsworth's offense. Farnsworth's attorney couldn't be reached to comment.

According to the criminal complaint, the 9-year-old girl told a neighbor woman that Farnsworth had been sexually abusing her. The woman told the girl's mother when she came to pick up the three girls on Nov. 10. The mother, who, Backstrom said, still has the children, called police that day. Farnsworth admitted sexually assaulting the girl after watching a pornographic movie with her.

I think a few more than just the predator need a bullet in this case.

Between Norm wanting to give the bullet to the back of the head, and DC wanting public hangings...they've got my vote for the next president & vice president.

Question is...who's going to be the head honcho? :p

[ktm250exc]

Bullet to the back of the head! :confused:
NAH! not nearly enough agony and pain
Cover em up in nalpalm and light em up!
So they can get a good taste of what hell is going to be like!

[Cat_Doc]

I mean, you know how hard it is to get a good "punk" in prison nowadays?

OMG, Menace, you friggen crack me up!

Pray tell, how hard is it to get a good punk??

[BlakeStone]

Maybe psych-evals should be standard during annual doctor's checkups from the teenage years onward. I can't think of another way to prevent these people from ever actually committing these crimes.

When I put my zip code in the State police Sex offender listing Ididn't recognize any names That is good news.

So my Brother-in-law emails me and says he can't believe how many live close to him. So I typed in my old zip which is my Bro-in-law's and OMG I actually know a couple of the names. But, I have no idea if 1st degree is worse than 4th degree so which is worse in the law?

Interesting, there seem to be more incidents involving children than ever before or are they just more publicized? If there are more why is that? Is it because we need tougher laws? Or because they let them out of prison or they just slap them on the wrist?

HMMM, what Blakestone said. That could be an interesting idea.

once again, it's been proven that these sickos can't be rehabilitated. life sentences w/o parole are required. (too bad we'll never get back to public executions, otherwise, i'd support that )

[MCCO]

We can all sit here and think of the worst ways to deal with this sick-o's.

A bullet to the back of the head is to quick and lets the perv off to easy. I honestly can't think of a punishment that would satasify me if it was done to my child. Short of killing him myself nothng is good enough.

[wild800]

Yes, just shoot them. I know it isn't enough punishment, but it is my personal belief that the appropriate punishment will be meted out when the scumbag meets their Maker. This is more like putting down a vicious animal that has attacked a human or livestock to prevent any future attacks from that animal.

[Question]

1st degree is usually worse than 4th degree.

[Aymarae]

it would waste only one bullet, better than the resources they waste in prisons and even once they get back on the streets as many do.

[cntryboy0531]

Sexual Battery to a minor under the age of 12 is a Capital Felony here in Florida. Even though a judge can impose the death penalty, I don't think I can remember of a judge actually sentencing someone to death for it. I think it should be a mandatory death sentence, preferably by hanging.

Honestly I think anyone who rapes a child should be hung soon after trial and conviction.

[ChesCopPodz]

I looked at the registry in my zip code. Do you think it's any cooincidence that 2 of the registered sex offenders are on our Top 10 most wanted list for sexual crimes?
