Typical Clueless Daddy defense. He was the victim of the step!
BS. Was she holding a gun to his head or something? Beating him up? Ridiculous.
More importantly, who gave this vicious abusive rapist father custody, and left the mother with periodic "access visits"?

Father and stepmother of boy and girl stand trial accused of whipping, caging, tormenting and sexual abuse for two years
Chief Court Reporter Sean Fewster, The Advertiser
July 6, 2016 7:56am
TWO children were tied to trees, locked in cages, had their fingers slammed in car doors and whipped by a father and stepmother who recorded their suffering, a court has heard.
A District Court jury has been told the girl, now 9, and her brother, now 7, were also sexually abused by their father during years of torment on a remote regional property.
Amelia Cairney, prosecuting, told jurors they would see photographs taken, and recordings made, by the father and stepmother of the abuse they inflicted upon the children.
“The prosecution case is that, while living with the accused, the young lives of this girl and boy were tormented with regular, and often prolonged, acts of violence and neglect,” she said.
“This ongoing abuse, along with sexual abuse, resulted in an environment of fear and degradation on the part of the children.”
The father and stepmother, who cannot be named, have pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of assault and false imprisonment.
The father has also denied sexually assaulting both children on multiple occasions.
Opening the trial, Ms Cairney said the children lived with their father and his partner on a rural property between 2011 and 2013.
She said that, when the children were not on access visits with their biological mother, the children suffered due to the stepmother’s “bad influence” on their father.
“The girl said the stepmother would get angry and say ‘do something to the girl’ or ‘do something to the boy’,” she said.
“When the father slammed their fingers in the car door, the stepmother told him to do this ... after, the children were told to walk home.”
Ms Cairney said the girl would give evidence of nights spent locked in a birdcage and in the garage, and of being tied up and gagged while her father took photographs.
“(One day) the father said ‘you are going in the tree’ ... she said ‘no, please’ (but) he walked her to the tree, lifted her up and tied her to the tree by the neck with a rope,” she said.
“She was not able to touch the ground and her hands and feet were tied as well ... he came back an hour later and said ‘have you learned your lesson?’.”
She said the boy would give evidence of being struck with a wooden bed slat, his father’s belt and being hit five times with a stock whip, leaving visible scars on his body.
“You will hear an audio recording, made by the father, of him tormenting and physically assaulting the boy,” she said.
“A female voice can be heard in the background — the prosecution says that is the stepmother.”
The trial, before Judge Sophie David and a 14-member jury, is expected to run for three weeks.

Dad, step charged with abusing 2-year old; dad had previously served time for killing, sexually abusing 18-month old. Why was he allowed access? (Fayetteville, North Carolina)
Where to even start with this story? Many unanswered questions.
Why was a man who murdered and raped an 18-month-old child not behind bars permanently? Only 10 years served? Pretty outrageous.
Why was a father with this kind of history allowed any access to a child at all? Who allowed it or ordered it? The family courts?
Of course, the custody/visitation angle to this story was buried when the step was misidentified as the mother. Happens a lot.
Dad is identified as JIMMY TYRONE BALDWIN.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A man who served time for the death and sexual assault of an 18-month-old faces charges of abusing his own child, as does the toddler's stepmother.
Fayetteville police said in a news release Friday that 38-year-old Jimmy Tyrone Baldwin and 25-year-old Chaka Baldwin are each charged with felonious child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury.
Police say the child's biological mother brought the 2-year-old to a hospital on June 11 after she received the child back from Jimmy Baldwin, the child's father. The child has been released from the hospital.
Jimmy Baldwin was released from prison in 2008 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the 1998 death and sexual assault of a child.
He remained in custody Friday under a $250,000 bond. Chaka Baldwin was released on bond. It wasn't clear if either has an attorney.
___ This story has been corrected to show that Chaka Baldwin is the child's stepmother, not the mother.

Custodial dad on death row for killing 2-year-old daughter gets reprieve (Huntsville, Texas)
The real unanswered questions that aren't even posed here. How did a felon father with a
history of alcohol abuse, parole violations with apparently no interest in childrearing get SOLE CUSTODY of a 2-year-old girl? Who was behind this process? Whatever happened to this child' mother? And notice that Daddy had only managed to keep it together for three freaking months before killing (and apparently sexually abusing) the child.
Dad is identified as ROBERT ROBERTSON III.

Reprieve for death row inmate convicted of killing daughter, 2
Robert Roberson, III / CBS Fort Worth
HUNTSVILLE, Texas - Attorneys who contended "junk science" was used to send a father to death row for killing his 2-year-old daughter 14 years ago have won a reprieve blocking the Texas inmate's execution set for next week.
Robert Roberson III, 49, was set to die Tuesday for the February 2002 death of his daughter, Nikki Curtis, at his home in Palestine in East Texas. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals sent his case back to his Anderson County trial court late Thursday to review claims he is innocent of capital murder. There is no timetable for the appeal to be resolved. One judge on the nine-member court, Lawrence Meyers, voted to refuse the reprieve and dismiss the appeal.
Lawyers argued Roberson's conviction was based on "junk science" and "false, misleading and scientifically invalid testimony" and that new scientific evidence establishes he would not have been convicted.
The child had serious head injuries, and Roberson contended she accidentally fell from a bed. Medical staff at a Palestine hospital called police because they considered the injuries suspicious. Physicians who examined her said bruises to her chin, cheek and jaw and a subdural hematoma - bleeding outside her brain but inside her skull - likely were intentional and no accident.
Nikki died the next day, Feb. 1, 2002, and a medical examiner ruled blunt force head injuries as the cause.
Defense attorney Benjamin Wolff told the appeals court that Nikki's death could be attributed to a number of things, such as undiagnosed meningitis, an accidental injury before Roberson began caring for her the day she died, a fall from the bed he didn't see or a fatal congenital condition.
The Anderson County District Attorney's office did not immediately respond to a message left Friday.
According to court records, Nikki had been living with Roberson and his girlfriend, Teddie Cox, for about three months after a court awarded him custody of the child.
Testimony from Cox, who was not the child's mother, showed he had no interest in caring for his daughter, but was her sole caretaker for the first time on Jan. 31, 2002, and was not pleased.
Prosecutors initially said Roberson sexually assaulted the 2-year-old, based on statements from a hospital nurse, but dropped that element of the capital murder charge late in the trial when evidence could not conclusively support it.
"But by then, the damage had been done," Wolff said in Roberson's appeal. "The state used this rank speculation to drive home its view that Robert was not just a poor, mentally impaired father struggling with sobriety, but a deviant - capable of raping and brutally shaking his own daughter to death."
Roberson was a parolee with previous convictions for burglary and theft and parole violations.
At least seven other Texas inmates have executions scheduled for the coming months, including one in July and four in August.

Jennings man arrested on child abuse charge
A Jennings man has been booked in connection with the injury of his child, Jennings Police said.
Robert D. Bourque, 30, of Jennings, was booked with cruelty to a juvenile. As of Tuesday, no bond had been set for his release.
Police were called to Jennings American Legion Hospital Saturday after an eight-year-old child was brought to the hospital with a head wound. His father, identified as Bourque, told police the child fell off a couch and hit his head on a wooden floor.
However, medical personnel reported the child had vomited before his arrival at the hospital and after his arrival, and a CT scan on the child showed a large brain bleed, a spokesman said.
The child was transferred to a Lafayette hospital where a neurosurgeon determined that the child's injuries were not consistent with falling off a couch, the spokesman said.
The child then told investigators that his father was upset with him because he didn't want to play with his dad's girlfriend's daughter. The child told investigators that his father picked him up and body-slammed him onto the floor, the spokesman said. When investigators went back to the father with the child's story, he allegedly confessed what he had done, the spokesman said.

Cascais mother on hunger strike after losing children to violent father
in News · 15-06-2016 07:43:00 ·
The mother of two young children who has again lost custody of her two young children to their violent father is today starting a hunger strike outside the Cascais courthouse.
Ana Maximiano decided to launch this form of protest after the court decided to extend the father’s custody, aged 2 and 3, by an additional six months. The father had previously been given a two-and-a-half year suspended sentence for domestic violence.
But according to the mother’s lawyer, the court renewed the custody arrangements as they reportedly do not have access to a social services report which states that while the father seems calm, the children should stay with him as he loses control and becomes violent.
