Blaine Downum, who was convicted of raping the little girl Wednesday, also told her she was 'just like the rest of him' after she told him she did not want him to abuse her a second time
A pedophile told his 10 year-old victim she was a ‘bitch’ and ‘just like the rest of them’ after she told him to stop raping her.
The initial attack took place in February 2018 at a motel in Joplin, Missouri, where the girl was living with her mother, who was dating Downum, as well as her older sister. Downum, who was convicted of rape Wednesday, first targeted the 10 year-old after being asked to babysit her by his girlfriend, by asking the child if she wanted to have sex with him.During her police interview, she told investigators that she’d said no, only for Downum to pull her up out of her chair, and push her down onto a bed.The pedophile then pulled the child’s pants down and raped her.
Downum is being held at Jasper County Jail. He faces at least 15 years behind bars when he is sentenced next month, but could well spend the rest of his life in prison He tried to claim that his victim had lied about him because both she and her mother disapproved of his job as a crystal meth dealer. He also admitted to taking the drug himself.
