GUILTY MO - Kenneth Kyle & Tessa VanVlerah for sex abuse, child *advertiser censored*, Ballwin, 2010

[BeanE]

Somehow, it is so much worse to me that she did it not for payment. We've heard of a few cases where women did this sort of thing to pay for drugs. That's bad enough. I can't wrap my head around what the reasons would be when not for payment. It's such a horrible betrayal of a mother's own baby girl. I just can't comprehend it.

Man, Woman Accused Of Sex With Infant
1:10 PM CDT, March 25, 2010


There they discovered communications on Kyle's computer with Van Vlerah. St. Louis County Police say Kyle made several trips to St. Louis over the past year or so where he and Van Vlerah would go to motels in the Westport area and engage in sex acts with the baby. This allegedly started when the baby was just five months old. She's now 13 months old.

This article says that the child is okay physically. How can that be? Maybe I'm missing something, but how was this woman able to allow her baby to undergo such abuse and not have to take her to a hospital for urgent medical care? How is that physically possible? Wouldn't the child have internal injuries? I'm confused.

Sick... this should have been a clue to somebody to NOT let her have children and arrest her!

In 2008, a woman obtained a court order of protection in St. Louis County against Vanvlerah, accusing her of seducing and having sex with the woman's 16-year-old autistic son, court records show. Vanvlerah was also accused of boasting online about becoming pregnant from the union.

Kyle has been an assistant professor in public affairs and administration at Cal State East Bay for four years.

According to his profile, which has since been removed from the Hayward university's Web site, his research interests include the application of feminist theories, "specific social problems (e.g., homelessness and sexual deviance), institutions (e.g., the family and the academy) and policies (e.g., mandatory computer ownership for university students and chemical castration for sex offenders)."

A spokesman for the campus, Barry Zepel, said Kyle was still on active teaching status.

Well I'm thinking she's a female pedophile then. Rare, but it does happen. Sounds like she's the predatory type pedophile too. Dear God.

First new charges:

Accused Child *advertiser censored* Prof Kenneth Kyle Facing New Federal Charges

"Kenneth Kyle, the Cal State East Bay professor previously charged with rape and sodomy in Missouri and child *advertiser censored*-related charges here can toss a new bevy of charges on the pile: Federal felony counts of child *advertiser censored* production.

The U.S. District Attorney's office in St. Louis yesterday announced Kyle and Tessa Van Vlerah of Missouri were each facing additional federal charges for allegedly photographing themselves while engaging in sexual acts with Van Vlerah's 13-month-old daughter. The two were already facing charges in St. Louis County of statutory rape, statutory sodomy, and promoting child *advertiser censored*. Van Vlerah faces an incest charge....."

I wanted to address Prancy's question. We've discussed this before and I think that reporters are between a rock and a hard place. Of course, the child is not physically or emotionally well. That's like saying she was just mauled by a cougar but she's fine. I think the media wants to protect the child's confidentiality by not describing the sexual damage. I'm sure it will come out at trial, however. It bothers me too, though, and it feels as if the little one's pain and agony are being "glossed over".

After the "Christmas Miracle" Amber Alert in Phoenix last year (young girl abducted and raped by a stranger but miraculously rescued by an alert LEO and returned to her family), I think we all determined that it would be far better if the media adopted some sort of statement that validates the seriousness of the crime but protects the child's privacy. We had several suggestions ie:

"The child has no life threatening injuries and is receiving all necessary and appropriate medical care and therapeutic support."

"The child is currently being evaluated by specialists and is safe with her family or in a specialized foster home trained to meet her needs."

If I were the Queen Editor, I'd make that the law.

Sometimes there just isn't an adequate term in existence to describe people. We need a new all-in-one word to describe this level of scum. I just can't think of a bad enough word in existence to use for them.

 

[nervous_nellie]

well it seems that they are both monsters ... i bet they try to pull the mental defect defense ... with his education and profession it seems to me that he would know how to screen for the "perfect" match of a sicko for his intended purposes which he probably likes to call "research" ... i know better than to express myself any further - not here anyway.

 

[SunnieRN]

I have to believe there is a special place in he l l for child predators. I hope they meet Bubba and his sister in prison!

 

[lonetraveler]

I have always supported mandatory death sentences for child predators/rapist and murderers. People who commit such evil acts upon a helpless child do not deserve to live. They should be considered as "rabid" animals and put to death. They can not ever be a contributing member of mankind and can never be "cured" of their evilness except by extermination. Unfortunately, crimes against children are not treated as the heinous crimes that they are and children's lives are not considered as valuable. Until these evil people are sentenced to death, things will not change.

I completely agree!!!Well said..My mother is a CPS worker and she will tell me the little details of what she sees and deals with on a daily basis its so awful of the horrible things people will do..We both get really surprised when I tell her a story that shocks her, this was one of them. Just when you think you have seen the worst of evil there is always another level beneath it...God Bless that child and I hope she does not become a "lifetime foster kid", I hope she gets adopted by loving people who will cherish her, all babies deserve that.......

 

[Kymistry35]

I cannot even express what I am feeling. When I read what this poor baby endured, it actually made my stomach hurt. I cannot stop crying for this little angel. I hope these get what is coming to them in prison and in hell.

Finally, an update. Up to 30 years:

Former Cal State East Bay professor pleads guilty to child sex abuse

"Former Cal State East Bay professor Kenneth Kyle has been convicted of sexually abusing a child. Kyle pleaded guilty on Thursday in federal court to traveling across state lines to engage in sex acts with a child younger than 12. Kyle, 47, of San Francisco, was an assistant professor of justice studies when undercover FBI agents discovered he was sharing child *advertiser censored* over a peer-to-peer network...."

and

"....The ensuing investigation revealed Kyle had been visiting an infant in St. Louis, Missouri over a six-month period in 2009 and molesting the child with the mother's cooperation..."

and

"...After the FBI first made contact with Kyle, the agency contacted San Francisco police, who obtained a search warrant for Kyle's apartment and found computers with thousands of child *advertiser censored* images and videos.....

and

"....Kyle and 21-year-old Tessa Van Vlerah of Ballwin, Mo. took photos while sexually abusing a 13-month-old girl during Kyle's visits to the St. Louis area...."

and

"...Van Vlerah is also facing child molestation and child *advertiser censored* charges. She and Kyle were indicted in California and Missouri. A sex offender in Missouri who was actively trading child *advertiser censored* was also arrested, prosecuted and convicted on Missouri state charges...."

Kyle was scheduled to be sentenced last August to 30 years to life in federal prison.
If he ever gets out, he'll be an old man.
