Accused child molester impregnated 10-year-old girl, police say
Nicholas Deon Thrash is facing 10 counts of child molesting.
The victim’s family says the man accused of molesting and impregnating the then 10-year-old girl was no stranger. In fact, he was living with her mother.
The young girl’s grandmother said she met Thrash multiple times and never thought he would be capable of doing something like this.
She described him as polite and helpful around the house, saying he had them fooled.
She says her granddaughter is now 20 weeks pregnant. The grandmother wanted to share their story to let parents know how important it is to talk with your kids, and let them know that they can come to you if something isn’t right.
She says it’s heartbreaking to watch someone so young go through this.
“She’d come out and ask, ‘Can I get my Barbies?’ I said, ‘Of course you can.’ She’s still a little girl that wants to play, and now her whole life has changed. She’s scared, being in that for so long and knowing you have to carry this baby,” the girl’s grandmother told WISH.
The director of Prevent Child Abuse Indiana says conversations with your kids about appropriate boundaries are important and they should be had at a young age.
She said to be cautious of adults who are looking to spend too much alone time with a certain child. She says about 80 percent of sexual abuse occurs in one-on-one situations.
The family has not yet decided whether to put the baby up for adoption. In the meantime, they are in need of maternity clothes for that young girl. She is a size small.
Man charged with two rapes gets one day in jail
(NEWSER) – A former Indiana University student charged with raping two women will get off with a year of probation and one day in jail, WXIN reports.
John Enochs took a plea deal and was sentenced Thursday, pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery. According to the New York Daily News, it’s unclear why prosecutors decided to drop the rape charges — felonies punishable by up to 16 years in prison — against Enochs. But that didn’t stop the sentence from immediately being compared to the infamously lenient one issued against Stanford swimmer Brock Turner earlier this month.
A woman says she was at an April 2015 party at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity when she went inside to use the restroom, WISH reports. She says the next thing she remembers is being naked and alone with an unknown man having sex with her. She says she told him to stop multiple times, but he wouldn’t. She suffered a laceration to her genitals in the attack.
Authorities say security video showed Enochs enter the room with the victim and leave 24 minutes later. Police found a similar case from 2013, and that victim agreed to work with authorities; DNA evidence, eyewitness statements and IDs from the women led in September to the two rape charges against Enochs.
Indiana University has been criticized for how it handles sexual assaults on campus and currently has three Title IX complaints against it.
