Felton — Delaware State Police arrested a 19-year-old Felton woman Sept. 15 for allegedly raping an 11-year-old boy she was babysitting.

The teen was babysitting five children at a home on Skinner Lane, Felton, when she allegedly followed the boy into a bathroom, said Cpl. Bruce Harris of the Delaware State Police.

There, he said, she “conducted inappropriate actions.”

The boy later told his mother, who contacted police.

Police arrested Cassandra Epperson and charged her with first-degree rape, unlawful sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child.

She was committed to Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution in default of $2,000 secured bond.

While I have no fear about being raped, your information does bring out an awareness that is good to have as I get ready to move into my dorm next week. I think, sometimes, we get too relaxed in our thinking that it will never happen to us, which brings about a lack of precautionary measures that should always be taken -- no matter what.

We do, at my campus, have students that are employed by the campus to help prevent crime. They are trained in self-defense and carry radios so they can communicate directly with the campus police. These guys will also come and pick you up at the library, laboratory, bars (close to campus bars), or at your dorm, and they offer a sort of escort service to make sure you are safe in your travels. They only operate during certain hours, but it is better than nothing. Still, most rapes happen inside the dorms.

This is interesting:

Thanks, firefly, for being so informative in this tough subject. You are awesome!

That story is just incredible. But I think his rapes were part of his murder rituals, he really got off on killing those girls. His real lust was for murder. I have a hard time thinking of him as a rapist.

When you are the 7th of 13 children born to an uncaring and domineering mother, who is a prostitute, in a country saturated with violence and crime, your problems begin as soon as you come out of the womb--or possibly while you are still in the womb (particularly if his mother used alcohol). This man's problems started before he was raped, the rape was just another abuse in a chain of abuse and neglect that started at birth. I suspect, even from the meager history, that he had no proper nurturance or adequate care from his mother, and he had likely been sexually abused, or witnessed a lot of his mother's sexual activity, by the time he was 8 and his mother booted him out for fondling his sister. Can you imagine being a frightened, vulnerable 8 year old, from a background like that, suddenly fending for yourself on the streets, and trying to avoid starvation on a daily basis--and then getting brutally raped by a pedophile?

This man never had a chance to develop any normal feelings, like the ability to love or trust, or to develop anything remotely approximating a conscience, or to even have any normal socialization experiences, all he seems to have learned were basic survival skills which didn't protect him from being victimized--repeatedly. His only sense of power and control as an adult came from killing people--innocent little girls--and he was excited by his own power to cause death. It is horrifying, and mind boggling, that he killed so many children.

He was one sick dude. That's probably why they kept him in solitary confinement for 20 years, they didn't know what else to do with him. From what I read on other Web sites, when they dumped him Colombia he was considered legally insane, so they put him in a psychiatric hospital for a few years. What happened to him next seems rather murky, and I read conflicting reports. I find it hard to believe that they considered him "cured" and just released him from the hospital--that would never happen with a mass murderer. Truthfully, I think someone just killed him. They might have released him from the hospital and then had someone kill him. I really don't think he is alive somewhere. Everyone wanted the man dead. He had no capacity to function in society. I think they made sure he was dead.

In Ohio, a woman known publicly only as Jane Doe, who settled a lawsuit with Ohio State University in 2007, alleged in court records that the male student who raped her in her dorm had raped another female student less than three weeks earlier. According to the records, the previous victim had reported the assault to the university’s residential staff, who punished the alleged attacker by merely moving him to a new dorm.

Ohio State found the male student responsible for Jane Doe’s rape allegation and expelled him. He was then charged criminally with rape stemming from her allegations. He pleaded guilty in a plea bargain to misdemeanor assault. In interviews, the woman told the Center for Public Integrity that other alleged victims of the same man came forward after she began speaking out at rallies against rape and sexual violence. Jane Doe settled in 2008 for an undisclosed amount of money under a confidentiality agreement.
