UNNAMED DAD says he was assaulted by another prisoner during transport. Sucks to be you, doesn't it Dad? Maybe you can imagine how your daughters felt now? Probably not, because creeps like you are utterly incapable of empathy. It's always about you, isn't it.

Trial of N.J. man charged with sexually assaulting daughters to start

PATERSON — Opening statements are expected today in the trial of a New Jersey man accused of raping his five daughters and keeping their offspring hidden from society.
The trial was delayed last week after the man told a judge he had been assaulted by a prisoner during transport. A court-ordered examination found no evidence of assault.
The defendant has pleaded not guilty to the 27 sex assault and child endangerment-related charges.
His wife has said he spoke of apocalyptic visions that drove him to create pure family bloodlines. She is scheduled to be the first witness.
The Associated Press does not identify victims of sexual crimes and is not reporting the name of the man or his wife to protect the identities of their children, now all over 18.

Free Elsa Newman (Maryland)
My friend E. recently sent me information about this case, along with the link to the website. It's absolutely horrible what this mom is going through, but unfortunately, her case is all too typical. Too many persons in authority refuse to believe any allegations about a sexually abusive father, no matter what the evidence suggests. While some stories get mainstream media attention, many are ignored.

Elsa Newman's Story
My friend, Elsa Newman, did not immediately understand that her young children were complaining about sexual abuse during visits to their father. In the course of an unpleasant divorce, she had protective orders against the man, but was unaware that violence against women quite often turns into violence against children.
I am hoping and praying and doing everything I can to obtain justice for Elsa Newman (and many others.) These women are caught in secretive webs of concealment that are designed to obscure the true facts of the child abuse, domestic violence, guilt of the abuser and innocence of the protective parent—here, my friend, Elsa Newman.
Just as the abuse of Elsa’s children escalated, the lawyers involved in her divorce case turned the police on her to stick her with a family friend’s crime. The family friend broke into the bedroom where Elsa’s young child lay in bed with his unclothed father. She and the father fought and he was shot in the leg. She was charged with assault.
To this day, I cannot explain, even to myself how American justice could have failed my friend. She was convicted of conspiracy for attempted murder even though she was not there, no evidence linked her to the assault and the culprit testified that Elsa was innocent. I was at Elsa’s trials. I watched an ambitious, arrogant prosecutor invent a case with the help of the divorce lawyers.
We believe this is very wrong. We urge you to join with us to register your outrage at:

Violent dad who attacked wife as she prayed walks free (Nelson, England, United Kingdom)
I don't even know where to start with dad MOHAMMED ZUBAIR. What can you say about a guy who not only beats his wife, but abuses his disabled children? There is nothing I can say in G-rated English at any rate. And I don't have much nice to say about the courts either, who have treated this sh** with extraordinary leniency. Yea, I'm sure that Order of Protection will keep this guy in line.

Nelson dad attacked wife as she prayed
Monday, 27th September 2010
Published Date: 27 September 2010
A VIOLENT father who attacked his wife and terrified his children - three of them disabled - has walked free from court.
Mohammed Zubair, a father of four, whipped long-suffering victim Zareena Bibi repeatedly with an electric power cable, leaving marks on her back later seen by their daughter. In another outburst, he ran at her and kicked her, causing swelling and bruising to her arm, while she was on her knees praying in the lounge.
Burnley Crown Court heard how "stressed" full-time carer Zubair, described as abusive, jealous and controlling, was said by one of their now grown-up children - who live in fear of him and want him to stay away from them - to be unable to control his temper. One of his sons saw the prayer mat assault and told his father to stop it. The defendant's response was to smack him across the face and ask: "What are you going to do about? You're disabled."
The hearing was told the family had lived in Every Street, Nelson, in a home which had been adapted for the disabled children at a cost of £100,000. Zubair (47) and his wife were now separated, he still lived there, but had agreed to leave so she and their children could move back in.
Character references for Zubair, speaking of his charity fund raising, mosque connections and showing the "other side" of him were sent in to the court by the Deputy Mayor of Pendle, the leader of the council's Labour group and two councillors.
Recorder Dennis Watson, who slammed the defendant's behaviour as "utterly wicked and disgusting," told him: "They speak well of you, but they of course have not seen your behaviour at home behind closed doors." The defendant, who had no previous convictions, admitted two charges of assault causing actual bodily harm. He was given 10 months in jail, suspended for two years, with two years supervision. The judge also imposed a five-year restraining order, banning Zubair from contacting or communicating with his wife or children except through a solicitor and from approaching Mrs Bibi of their family.
Sentencing, Recorder Watson told the defendant: "You richly deserve to go to prison." But, he continued, there had been no repetition of his behaviour towards his wife since 2008 and she did not suffer lasting physical harm.
Mr Robert Golinski (prosecuting) told the court the defendant's actions were said to be set against a background of verbal abuse and violence towards his family.
Zubair and the victim had an arranged marriage in 1983, moved to live in Nelson, had their first child in 1985 and three more in the next six years. Three of the four children suffered from a muscular disorder and the defendant and his wife were full-time carers. Zubair was said by a daughter to be unable to control his temper and she would say she always felt on edge, depressed and had sleeping problems.
Mr Golinski said Zareena Bibi would say Zubair did not allow her to go anywhere except to her parents occasionally without him and she was not to speak to anybody unless he let her.
In 2005, the defendant accused Zareena Bibi of talking to one if his friends and told her if she did not tell him, he would whip it out of her. The frightened victim was then subjected to precisely that as the defendant took the electric cable and struck her across the back three times. She was crying out in pain and the next day was tender, sore and bruised.
The prosecutor said in the summer of 2008, Zareena Bibi was at home praying when the defendant, who was susceptible to food poisoning, got upset because he found a bowl of food in the fridge uncovered. He attacked the victim, but their daughter would say her mother would not go to hospital as it would have meant asking the defendant to take her.
Mr Golinski said one of the children shouted at Zubair to stop the assault and he hit him. When the son threatened to call police, the defendant replied: "They can't stop me" and continued shouting. Last summer, Mrs Bibi told Zubair she would leave if the violence continued and her threat was effective for six months. After an incident in January, police were called by a daughter and the defendant was arrested and taken to the police station. He made no comment when questioned, but gave a prepared statement denying all the allegations.
Mr Philip Holden (for Zubair) said 2000 and 2001 were very trying times in the family home. Each of the children developed their disability, a congenital defect, around the same time. As time progressed, their disabilities got worse.
A local councillor helped the defendant and his wife to get grants and funding to adapt their home and two properties were knocked into one.
Mr Holden said "mercifully" the relationship between Zubair and his wife had come to an end. It had had a huge effect on Mrs Bibi and also the defendant. He had made the children his life. Zubair, who had no contact with his children at the moment, did not know where he was going to live.
The barrister added: "He is most unlikely to ever come before the courts again, provided the relationship between he and his wife never comes about again."

DAVIDSON, Sask. — An Ontario father charged with assault in connection with the death of his infant son has been arrested in Saskatchewan.
RCMP arrested 21-year-old Rourke Thomas Desmanche on Saturday in the community of Davidson, about 115 kilometres southeast of Saskatoon.

A Canada-wide warrant was issued for Desmanche.
Police say the baby and an unidentified three-year-old were also victims of previous assaults.

Dad charged in death of 4-month-old son headed for trial (Grygla, Minnesota)

Grygla dad charged in baby’s death headed for trial
The trial of a Grygla, Minn., father charged in the death of his 4-month-old son is scheduled to start in March or April.
By: Archie Ingersoll, Grand Forks Herald
The trial of a Grygla, Minn., father charged in the death of his 4-month-old son is scheduled to start in March or April.
Damien Marsden’s attorney, Peter Wold, said he expects the case to go to trial unless the charges are dismissed.
Wold of Minneapolis was one of the lawyers who represented Travis Stay in 2008 during his murder trial in Grand Forks. A jury found Stay not guilty in the beating death of another man.
Marsden, 32, appeared in court Friday in Crookston, and a judge heard arguments from the defense and prosecution on whether Marsden should have been given Miranda warnings before he spoke with authorities while at the hospital in Thief River Falls. The judge took the matter under advisement.
According to a criminal complaint, an autopsy showed that Marsden’s son, Rylin, was assaulted, suffered a fractured skull and died of head injuries. The complaint says Rylin was injured Aug. 2, 2009, at Marsden’s home in Grygla; the baby was taken off life support and died Aug. 8, 2009.
Marsden and the boy’s mother told investigators Rylin could have received his injuries when he tipped over from a sitting position the morning of the day he was taken to the hospital or when he fell out of bed the evening before.
A doctor who specializes in child-abuse cases said Rylin’s injuries suggest that “severe rotational or shaking force was applied to his head,” the complaint says.
Marsden, who is not in custody, is charged with second-degree murder, second-degree murder while committing child neglect and second-degree murder while committing child endangerment. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison.
Being charged with second-degree murder means Marsden is accused of wrongfully causing the death of his son without intending to kill him.

Dad admits responsibility in death of 3-month-old son (North Mankato, Minnesota)
Dad CHRISTOPHER DOUGLAS FARRIS has been jailed in the homicide of his 3-month-old son. Daddy was apparently "home alone" with the baby when the baby died of a traumatic head injury. Of course, we're assured that he's a "very good dad." No doubt. Don't "very good dads" "bounce" and bite their babies all the time?
