Man faces court on incest charges
Date July 19, 2013
A father who began sexually assaulting his daughter when she was 13 told police he felt "sick" when he realised he would be classified as a paedophile.
The 34-year-old, who cannot be named, appeared in a County Court on Friday after pleading guilty to three counts of incest and one count of an indecent act with a child aged under 16.
The offender said he had started abusing his daughter after finding "inappropriate" Facebook messages she had sent to a man who was a family friend.
He thought he was helping the girl by educating her about sex.
The man sexually abused his daughter between July 2011 and November last year. He was arrested in May after she confided in a counsellor.
On one occasion, the man sexually abused his daughter while driving her home from a counselling session she had attended to deal with the trauma of past sexual abuse by another family member.
The judge said that despite the man saying during his police interview that "I'm against paedophiles and I'm actually starting to feel sick... that now I'm classified as one", he had earlier been less than remorseful.
He said in the police interview that he thought he was doing the "right thing" when he abused the girl and stated that what he had done was not wrong as she had never told him no.
"This is not a single act, it's a 12-month course of conduct," the judge said.
"It's a little hard to understand how the realisation [that you're a paedophile] finally hits you in the interview.
"Either you know it's wrong all the long or you don't."
The man also said during his police interview: "I'm a screw up as a father, that's all I can say right now".
His daughter watched the court proceedings with her grandmother via video link.
The defence said the man's offending may have been influenced by his own history of sexual abuse and long-term cannabis use.
A psychiatric report of the man found that he may suffer from psychosis attributed to chronic cannabis use, but was more likely to suffer from mild chronic schizophrenia.
It was submitted by the defence that the man should be sentenced to a substantial period of parole to ensure his mental health treatment was adequate.
Prison had been a "very sobering" experience for the man, who had eaten less because HIV positive inmates were using utensils and touching food, and had seen assaults and heard rapes in adjacent cells.
"It's clear that my client and the community at large would benefit from a period of supervision for my client, the longer the better," the defence submitted, adding that it was accepted the man would be sent to prison.
The judge found that no medical condition had a significant impact on the father's culpability and his record of interview appeared to show a lack of understanding of the seriousness of his offending.
The court heard the man had struggled to understand why he could not have access to his other children. The prosecution said the offending had torn the family apart. Members of the girl's family were in court on Friday to represent the victim. The man will be sentenced on July 30.

Father charged with abuse of newborn girl
July 19, 2013 12:00 am • By ANNE JUNGEN
A Coon Valley man arrested for fracturing his newborn daughter’s skull was charged Thursday with felony child abuse.
Robert Schmidt, 21, admitted elbowing the fussing 8-week-old child Sunday in frustration, according to court records.
Prosecutors charged Schmidt in La Crosse County Circuit Court with physical abuse of a child, obstructing officers and two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping.
He returns to court Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
Authorities began investigating after the infant was brought to an emergency room Sunday morning with a fractured skull and bleeding brain.
Schmidt gave authorities different accounts how the infant was injured, saying she rolled over in her bassinet, hit her head on a table and struck a dog bone, according to police reports.
He later admitted striking her with his elbow when he rolled over to check on her when she cried. He said repeatedly it was an accident inflicted because he was upset his girlfriend left for work while the baby was still fussing, the report stated.

Dad pleads guilty to assaulting son; beat boy with electrical cord (Hamlin Heights, Australia)
Is UNNAMED DAD a single father? Notice that while there is mention of DHS involvement, there is no mention of a mother in the home or anywhere else. What happened to this boy's mom?
Also notice that this abusive father still had unrestricted weekend visitation. Typical father fawning.

Dad whipped son with electrical cord
Anthea Cannon | July 20th, 2013
A HAMLYN Heights father crossed the line when he whipped his son with an electrical cord and smacked him, a Geelong magistrate has ruled.
The father of two pleaded guilty to assault charges yesterday after his son reported three incidents to police and was placed in Department of Human Services' care.
Police Prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Geoff Lamb said between March 11 and 16 this year, the two argued and the father used the cord of a CD player to whip the boy's forearm, smacked him twice on his bottom and grabbed him by his shirt and threw him against a wall.
Sen-Constable Lamb said the father told police he had been "kicking himself" about the incidents and did not realise his own strength.
Eleven photos of the boy's welts and bruising were presented in court.
Defence lawyer Domenic Care said his client cried after one of the incidents and knew it was no way to treat a child.
Mr Care told the court the boy had Attention Deficit Disorder and had been in trouble at school when the father sat down to speak to him about it.
He said despite being in DHS care, the son was allowed overnight and weekend stays and wanted to come home permanently.
"My client is otherwise of exceptional character," Mr Care said.
Magistrate Stephen Myall requested the DHS hearing orders which will see the father's parenting "tested and assessed" for the next 26 weeks, working towards reunification.
"These are difficult cases and important prosecutions," he said. "Parents are required to do no more than lawfully correct. You were taking steps to correct (behaviour) but they were not responsible and not moderate.
"I do accept you are remorseful and (it has been) a traumatic and difficult experience. You brought the matter to police attention because (your son) left home."
Mr Myall said he gave "anxious consideration" to whether to impose a conviction, which would jeopardise the father's job, but because of the DHS plan, the guilty plea and remorse he did not.
The father was ordered to pay $2000 to the court fund and placed on a good behaviour bond for two years.
Also notice that this abusive father still had unrestricted weekend visitation. Typical father fawning.

Dad arrested after 4-month-old son found with broken bones
By KOMO Staff Published: Jul 19, 2013 at 2:57 PM PDT
MARYSVILLE, Wash. - A 26-year-old Marysville man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of assaulting a child after his 4-month-old son was found to have a broken arm and fractures to both legs.
The injuries were discovered when the little boy's mother took him to the hospital for an examination.
The mother said she noticed that the baby's arm was red, swollen and limp and that he let out a "blood-curdling scream" when she touched it after the boy's father had been taking care of him.
The examining doctor told police that the baby's broken arm was broken in two places between the elbow and shoulder and "most likely was caused by a forceful bending motion," according to court documents.
The leg fractures were "caused by twisting and turning commonly found in child abuse," the doctor told investigators. The doctor also said the fractures were "not consistent with normal playful activities," court documents say.
The suspect, identified as Robert Okerstrom, 26, was questioned by police about the boy's injuries.
He initially said he may have accidentally hurt the boy when he took him from his car seat and admitted that he heard the little boy's arm "pop." He also said he may have accidentally squeezed the little boy too hard while feeding him his bottle.
Under continued questioning, Okerstrom finally admitted he had broken the baby's arm in a "fit of rage" by bending his arm behind his back while removing him from a car seat, according to court documents.
Okerstrom also admitted he was most likely responsible for the fractures in the baby's legs, but downplayed the cause, saying he was only playing with the boy, court documents say.
Okerstrom was then booked into Snohomish County Jail for investigation of three counts of second-degree child assault.

Dad convicted of assaulting baby daughter; infant had up to 20 fractures (Spokane, Washington)
Dad is identified as TYSON J. ROMANESCHI.

Jury: Father broke baby daughter’s bones
Thomas Clouse
The Spokesman-Review
Presented with two possible explanations for how a Spokane infant suffered up to 20 fractures, a jury decided Friday that the father’s abuse was to blame.
After deliberating for parts of two days following a two-week trial, the jury convicted 26-year-old Tyson J. Romaneschi of first-degree assault of a child and two misdemeanor counts of violating a protection order. The jury failed to reach a unanimous decision on a fourth charge alleging that Romaneschi had asked the infant’s mother to change her testimony.
“We are disappointed,” defense attorney Donald Richter said after the decision. “We respect the jury’s verdict, but we disagree.”
The defense had argued that the 2-month-old baby had weak bones because of a misdiagnosed medical condition.
Deputy Spokane County Prosecutor Kelly Fitzgerald, who stood in for the verdict for colleague Eugene Cruz, said her office would be seeking an exceptional sentence for Romaneschi, who faces between eight and 10 years in prison at his sentencing Sept. 13.
Fitzgerald also asked Superior Court Judge Maryann Moreno to hold Romaneschi in jail pending sentencing. However, Moreno allowed Romaneschi to remain free on his existing $100,000 bond.
The case began in February 2012 when the girl’s mother, Shayna Tipton, took infant daughter Ellyana to a doctor because of a fever. The baby had a urinary tract infection, was rushed to a hospital and was given an X-ray, which revealed her broken ribs.
Doctors ordered more X-rays that revealed up to 20 broken bones in various stages of healing in the baby’s ribs, arm and leg, Cruz said in opening statements.
Tipton, who had been living with Romaneschi, said she told investigators she had no idea how her daughter sustained the injuries. But she told police and testified during the trial that she remembers her daughter crying every time Romaneschi tried to hold her.
Romaneschi told police essentially the same thing during an interview with Detectives Neil Gallion and Jan Pogachar. Romaneschi said he didn’t intentionally hurt his child but that he squeezed her to make her cry and that he has frustration problems.
Detectives noted that Romaneschi grew angry during the interview “and that we had to calm him down several times,” according to court records.
But Richter, the defense attorney, brought in a medical expert who testified that Ellyana suffered a classic case of rickets, caused by a vitamin D deficiency, which can cause infant bones to fracture during birth and could have explained their various stages of healing.
Richter told the jury he didn’t blame Spokane police detectives for seeking to protect the child from what appeared to be “horrific child abuse. But no one ever saw Tyson assault his daughter,” Richter said.
Cruz told the jury during closing arguments on Wednesday that Romaneschi had limited parenting skills and he learned the only way he could get his infant daughter to sleep was by squeezing her until she cried.
“She would cry herself to sleep faster than holding her … or cuddling her. That was just too much parenting for him,” Cruz said during closing arguments. “Others said she seemed to be a good child, except for when he was in the hands of her father.
“You hold him accountable for those crimes,” Cruz asked the jury.
