I agree - and given the trauma etc, the line "...from being the victim of a serious crime to the perpetrator of a worse one" doesn't sit right with me. Too often, survivors of abuse are treated like murderers anyway, with the media and the courts always focusing on how a conviction would ruin the abuser's future with nay a thought for the future that the survivor may have.

I a have a beautiful step daughter who's 4 years 4 months old, I could never even imagine doing something bad to her! I would protect her with my life not take hers away with such horrible secrets.

She deserves the 25 years - her stepdad did not abuse her, but he violated her trust. You don't kill people over something you can actually seek the police for.

And your sister will need all the support any one can give her. I hope she's doing well.

O my God

Five years? That’s it?! What a joke.

I dont feel one bit bad for him. I think he deserved what he got. What kind of person preys on a child-he never deserved life in the first place.

That's great... Too bad she wouldn't get death penalty ❗

He took pictures so what? It's not that big a deal... He didn't moles her.

@@azazello1784 someone should put you on a watch list

Didn't she erase all the pictures. Which was all the proof she would have needed.

ikr!

Absolutely true. Both before and after my stalker assaulted me, I was the one who had my life turned upside down. And he's still out there, he's still a threat. Justice for victims is illusory.

That is true...

Actually, a case just happened recently where a guy was caught taking pictures of his step kids and putting them on child abuse sites. He got arrested and is set to be charged with mutliple offenses. She could have tried the legal route.

There was no evidence she lied. How would you feel if someone murdered you and lied about you having pictures of kids

Had they done that (crime of passion defense), I'm sure the prosecutor would have wanted to see proof there actually WERE pictures and neither Jade nor her lawyers wanted that since there wasn't any. Honestly, the fact she took this to trial is astounding, which is kind of why there's so much weirdness with Jade's motive. This is one of those rare cases in which not only does the prosecution not need to establish a motive, but the defendant actually testified, meaning her narrarive wasn't challenged nearly as much as it would be otherwise.

I'm more confused than ever now.

There was too much planning ahead of time to argue crime of passion. I think Jade was going double or nothing, and lost.

@@joez.2794 If so, what was the motive? And even accusing that there were pictures, would the jury not want to see them anyway? I do not buy this

@@replicanna6931 The motive was ofc _money._ Jade was a drug addict and there's no more evidence she was a "millionaire" than of the pics. Not sure what you mean about the jury - they can want to see the pics all they want, but I don't think they can actually _request_ to see them if they weren't presented at trial, as that would fall under cross-examination.

Yes let's hope after that therapy she gets therapy for her murderous impulses which are far worse.

@@crow4834 Um, that was her own defense attorney asking those questions. He was giving her the opportunity to make it clear that she had no knowledge or involvement in her stepfather’s sick obsession with her.

@@PeteC62 exactly! It’s part of court procedures.

He wasn't her father. She already had a father. He met her when she was around 11, damn near ripe for the plucking. He should never have had unfettered access to her. People these days are stupid. If the mother remarries, the kids should go with the REAL FATHER if he's still in the picture, instead of trusting random non-relative adults around your offspring.

And even if she did choose to fuck or seduce him, HE IS THE PARENT AND IN THE ADULT POSITION. The prey on the hormones of a teenager is just disturbing and disgusting. Glad he’s dead and I hope she’s enjoying knowing she did that. I hope she gets out sooner than she’s supposed too.

He also did a lot for her. Raised her, paid for all her stuff and tuition. It's awful that he had the pictures but it still doesn't justify murder

she did so much for this man... like callously and violently club him over the head and kill him?

His pervert attitude wasn't physical.. she deserves at least 100yrs

@@skagenpige88 if her claims are true... Killing is the move she would regret forever. He was supposed to face the shame. Dead men don't talk

Amazing how so many people bought into her story, well except for the jury. 48 hrs did a great job and people missed several points. Someone said she called a security firm but the fixer was not security and the person that recommended him certainly traveled in different circles to know this guy .One of the sites said she was doing drugs and that would put her in that circle Her lawyers said that several former boyfriends took the pictures. Now it may seem on the surface that it is ok because they are a boyfriend but who lets people take pics of you nude, especially with the internet and having a history of different ones.

Most people in this day and age go roll up by emotions, rather than dig deep down and try to get to the bottom of a one side story. It's just beyond me, but hey human will always remain human.

Actually we do know with reasonable certainty that such photos existed and were taken by boyfriends. We have no idea if the step dad ever saw them though.

@@annoyedaussie3942 We do ? I don't remember any photos being presented as evidence. On the 48hrs version of the case, her lawyers said that different boyfriends took them. Now were any of those boyfriends called to testify or interviewed. Not that I know of. I think they said so it could not be narrowed down to one guy. I think she could have done a better job of lying. If a boyfriend or boyfriends took the pictures, why would they give them to Tom , her stepfather ? Her answer was she did not know how he got them.

@jamescrane7034 I say reasonable certainty because she really has no reason to lie about that and partners having intimate photos of each other is very common since digital photography. I don't believe Tom had any photos of her based on probability and the motive was something more usual. The police/prosecution had no reason to investigate whether or not that was her real motive because she was already making the case for them proving it's premeditated murder because she claimed to discover these photos on the computer when he was in hospital. I don't believe also because if a man chooses to keep naked images of ladies or teenagers they always keep it of many not just a single person. While I don't download anything I do watch porn sometimes and I certainly watch some variety.

Crazy…

The people in these comments section defending her are INSANE. Murder is NEVER ok. And it's sad she chose that.

@@JordanEndTimeServantOfYah144 The main thing everyone doesn't want to acknowledge is that there were no pics at all as evidence, no pics were ever found, that is just her story after the body was found.

@@eileeneclark9011 He not only did not take any pics, there were no file of pics ever found of her on his computer, that is just what she says she saw, after she killed him. Quit assuming that what you're being told is fact, the media sells you your own emotions (self), you cannot trust them.

Can't really blame her for the actions she took. It's easy for us being on the outside looking in to say that she should have been reasonable and gone to the police cause that's what rational, normal people do. But just having seen that the man who helped raise you and that you have been taking care of has naked pics of you since you were underage would have to do a number on your thought process that you can't approach from the mindset of someone who is calm, rational and reasonable. Was it still OK of her to have murdered him? Understandable but...no. I don't know if there were other charges but it's unfortunate in cases like this when the prosecution will only offer up one charge of murder one with no other options cause it prolly puts the jury in a bind. They probably sympathized with her and might have considered a lesser charger of murder two but they likely felt they could not let her go unpunished regardless of her reasons even if the charge was too high.

Where's the photo evidence she found on her step father's machine?? Oh that's right, she deleted the evidence. How do we even know the "evidence" even existed in the first place. We have no idea. We are expected to believe a murderer. And there are moron's here condoning this murderer.

@@piledriver7238 I don’t know if any photos were recovered; they seemed to know where they originated, which implies that they did, in fact exist. She had no other apparent motive to kill her stepfather, and had been caring for him up to this point. To my knowledge she didn’t have a history of violent crime prior to the murder. Was it wrong to murder him? Yes. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial in this country, though who knows if she would have gotten her case into a courtroom. People are defending her because pedophiles don’t rate very high on the humanity scale.

There's no evidence AT ALL of ANY pictures of her on his computer. She removed the hard drive and got rid of it. ANYTHING about so-called pictures are just her saying it.

Precisely. How many other women had he dated /married who had children that he did this to. Disgusting.

True

It's her I feel sorry for, even though her actions were extreme. I highly doubt should would ever have committed murder in her life if it wasn't for what that man did.

No way it was a one off. Pervs never have only one victim.

You don't have to feel sorry for him, but accept that what she did was wrong and her sentence is correct. He did not deserve to be murdered

I’m there with you, it is the ultimate violation and betrayal. At 33 I still have moments of feeling disgusting or weird like it was something *I* did even though I know better. And I DEFINITELY thought about how much better it would be if he just was gone, and I felt that rage. I have no pity for him, I hope his death is a warning to all the other men like him.

While I would never kill those who have sexually assaulted me, I do understand the feelings of finally realizing what happened. Yes, she could have taken another path, but with the way victims are treated, I don't blame her for taking the "easy" way out. I am so sorry you also went through that, Deborah, and it made my blood boil when I heard "the family characterized him as blablabla" like that excuses what he did or balances it out. It's infuriating.

What is hard about it? It is very cut and dry. You don't murder someone for having scandily clad photos of you on their computer. Your passion, your "trauma" your disappointment; none of that matters. That's for you to cope with. You don't murder someone for this. It doesn't even approach the threshhold of understanding.

Very well said!

@@itheuserfirst3186 it wasn't just "scantily clad" photos of her. there were complete nudes of her even at 16 (which i'm pretty sure classifies as CP even if the age of consent is 16 as persons under 18 are legally considered children) which she didn't send to him! not only that, he set up secret cameras to spy on her! there was 0 consent involved AND photos of her as a child. as for the rest of your comment...what do you even mean by putting trauma in quotations?? are you saying that having a parent (biological or not) prey on you in secret for years without your knowledge isn't traumatising or at the very least troubling??

Can you say the justice system failed her when she never used it?

Well put.

@@robertreed7963it’s a fair point, but look at how it takes SA claims. Statistically it’s about the easiest crime to get away with, and as a former child I personally attest that nobody GAF when you tell them what’s happening or who did it. You’ve got a point but I promise it can be at least as victimizing to try and get justice as it is to be victimized. I personally was able to put the SA in a little box in my memory and dissociate past it for a long time, and it wasn’t until I spoke up and saw that nobody cared that the fallout of having been SA’d really started to unravel my life.

What else would you expect? It's not criminal to have nude photos, especially when she willingly posed for them. Maybe not for the stepdad but legally doesn't matter if an ex gave them to him. Which is bizarre and unbelievable in itself, how did he get the supposed pics? I'm not dismissing how revolting it would be if he had the pics mind you. Just no criminal acts. Before you make a claim of cp, the photos were ten years old, how old was Jade when she murdered the stepdad? Do the math. 28 is hardly a child. Still gross. But still no proof of the photos and her story makes zero sense about how he got them and how she found them. She's also proven herself many times to be a liar. I was a victim as a child, and in my view of she lied, which I believe wholeheartedly that she obviously did, she's the revolting one in every way.

Exactly, she shouldn’t have killed him even though i totally feel her pain and horror

I gdt your point and i agree, but still doesn't necessarily mean you go out and take matters on your own hands, otherwise the world will be like Jurassic Park.

Was it the towns priest ?

I have to say I agree with everything you say! Similar story is here! I am torn, obviously her killing him didn't do any good to her, but am I feeling sorry for that animal? Hell no. Do I think he deserved it? Hell yes!

I agree hes truly disgusting and in my eyes he fucking ruined her and deserved what he got

All I wanna say is, you are so strong-simply off the fact you didn’t kill him right when he said that to you in that context. Girl-you are something else (compliment)❤

No, no it can't be worse than the actual act of r8pe.

@Long John Thilver Not one report on this trial says "alleged photos", which means that the photos were still there on the computer and not disputed by the prosecution or anyone else.

The difference is she had proof.

@@gary-pietz4147 doesn't mean they would have done anything. Im not saying what she did was right, but I do understand. Being believed is half the problem we face when we come forward. even if we have proof, its always what we're you wearing, were you drunk, are you dating, and on and on with questions that aren't relevant for no reason. Being told we were asking for it, were dramatic, it happened along time ago and why are we still so upset. Its because you'll be hard pressed to find someone who believes you, even the people you love and trust will call you a liar, tell you you're being dramatic, that so and so is a good person or "they've never treated me badly". That is an unimaginable pain. To finally stop blaming yourself and come forward, just to be told to sit down and stay quiet. It will drive some to unimaginable actions to try and dampen the pain, to try and take back some of what was violently ripped away. Again im not saying its right, but it does make sense

I'm so sorry you went through that, I experienced a really similar thing :( my sister and I were groomed by a very close family friend who lived with us when we were 13. he assaulted her during that time and there were photos as proof of what he did. but when I convinced her to tell the cops a couple years later, they didn't even bother questioning him. they just brushed us aside and let him walk free. and I was assaulted by someone close to me when I was a kid but I've never told anyone because I know no one would believe me. I wish that cases like this count as self defense. if he was bold enough to spy on his own daughter and take inappropriate pictures of her, he easily could've hurt her if she had confronted him. really the only way that sexual assault victims can get justice is to hurt/kill their abusers since the cops don't give a fuck about punishing them.

@@goldenghxst i believe you, and im so sorry you went through that. I wish we were able to safely come out and tell our stories with out being afraid of being further trumatized by the people who are supposed to care. Police need more training on assult and the signs of abuse in close relationships, same with teachers. Its sad how often these things go unnoticed, especially when its people who are supposed to keep you safe. I hope you find the support you need to heal 💜

Those facts don’t stop the bloodhounds in the comments section who are crying over Jade’s conviction. They’ve got their torches and pitchforks ready to kill more. They think it’s okay for individuals to be judge, jury and executioner.

On one hand, I understand why she might have done it: when you see something that disgusting and humiliating about yourself, first thing you want to do is destroy it. On the other hand, this whole thing doesn't make much sense to me. Why hire a fixer? Why text him explicitly what you are doing? Why did the fixer back out if cleaning up after the murder is exactly what she hired him to do? Was there a life insurance for her stepdad and was she the beneficiary? If his health was declining fast, the usual lowly motivation for this murder is relief for herself. It's incredibly taxing for those who care for the disabled relatives, especially alcoholics with drug issues. It was super hard for her to take care of him, and discovering these pictures probably made her blood boil.

Most likely she lied. Bad story anyways. Trying to vilify someone for sexual thoughts is old and pathetic.

Yes. I noticed that too. He must have known there was no getting around those txt msg's,

What pedo?? He was an adult and she was an adult.

It's probably a better defence, to be honest. I know I would do the same. I'm too vengeful to allow that kind of person to keep breathing. Though I have a little more integrity and would turn myself in. I would feel justified in doing the time for it.

@@munky342 Have you ever been to prison?

She would still be found guilty with that angle though as her life was not at risk, so the murder is not justified according to the law. It might help with recieving a lower sentence though. Her anger was justified after all even if it was a premeditated murder.

@Pile Driver no. Not a civilian prison at least. But I know my own capacity for violence, ex military. And I know I wouldn't be able to stand by and let a d*ckhead like this keep living. I believe firmly in doing the time for your crimes, and know full well what kind of crime this would be. I'd accept my judgement. Would you try and cover up your crime? Knowing that it makes sh*t much worse? Edit: spelling

Absolutely. I feel that he should be prosecuted as well for conspiracy/accessory. He should have been helping her cope, not being a yes man to murder

It's possible he did not take her seriously. At first.

Yep, it's only the mans fault, not the women who committed murder lol. She murdered a man, not for touching or sexually abusing her but for having pictures of her breast on his computer. She should spend the rest of her life in prison and then burn in hell for eternity. You are a despicable person for justifying her actions.

I agree what he should of done is took her away back to her family to her mum, dad and brother for support. Not give her a hug after she tells him about it and then leaves to go straight to the police!!!

You do understand that the only 'proof' of these pictures even existing is the word of a murderer that doesnt want to go to jail?

thats a good point you make in the second paragraph. sorry that happened to you

So sorry to hear. It’s strange how they always shame victims, even more heartbreaking when the victim is a child. For Jade I don’t blame her for what she did. I feel like only those who have gone through something similar can judge her. Betrayal from someone you trust, even the network who were supposed to support and love you, can drive many to their own solution

I am sorry to read your story. I hope you have the opportunity to tell your story in public, to out the person who did this to you and the family who covered it up. Even if nothing happens to the actual predator.

Too many children have suffered this, and it’s horrifying. I’m sorry it happened to you, and I hope your family realizes what they’ve done to hurt you by demanding silence. The idea she could have just told the police and all will be well is just stupid. We know how that’s handled, if it ever gets that far. The victim is supposed to keep it quiet and suffer in polite silence. People will whine that HIS life was ruined. They’ll blame her for having pictures in the first place. (Which some nitwits here are already doing). I’m sorry the legal system failed her, as they have so many others. Not sorry for him.

Thanks for your comment here…there are many people in a similar place , you’re not alone. For whatever solace that grants, I hope some, also know that I appreciated your honesty , and you couldn’t have put things any better when saying that she will now have to “shoulder the trauma” in prison, as , someone who also has a brother in prison knows, there is incredibly little therapy and healing going on in the for profit prison system in this country (US). It must have been incredibly murky to her at the time being the one so close to the violation and trauma , that this seemed like a better option , which is sad and, to me , somewhat surprising, I guess I wouldn’t know how I’d react until I were put in this situation but- I THINK , I would have gone the route of …not…killing someone…I was surprised by that move, for someone like jade with supposedly no past violent tendencies, to seemingly, very quickly, be moved to murder….well I think I probably wouldn’t have done the same thing.. Who knows…but you can tell me if I’m wrong- I’d think that is a pretty rare stance to take- and a pretty overcharged reactionary approach to desiring justice or even eye for an eye retribution….idk… violation of sexual assault vs violation of murder…I’m not a fan of either but…😮 Anyway if you read this far, thanks again and much love from Philadelphia!

okay someone gets it. and able to articulate it without offending. i've been ranting in the comments for at least an hour now, thanks for helping me level out

Well said, that’s the science behind a crime of passion

She still didn't admit what she did, I don't like the idea of murder but if you believe that you are going to kill someone for a justified reason have the courage to admit "Yeah I killed them, they deserved it" also don't try to drag friends into it.

@@bucketree it wasn't a crime of passion and that is not a thing anymore. He was a dirt bag but he didn't do anything that justified his death, prison yes, death no.

@Jamal Johnson cope is hard with this one

You're not alone. ❤️ I've lived through a very similar experience where no one cared because my perpetrator never went "that far". The laws and punishments for all child predators really need to change. Victims should be believed no matter what and respected more than the abusers. But often, the laws aren't in place or would be a slap on the wrist. The victim is left dealing with all of this and more. :/ I hope you're doing okay.

I'm sure there are many abuse victims whose voices have been shrugged off by authorities especially when the alleged crime have been done years prior and only words used as "evidence." Ifeel for them. However, she had the evidence in the mode of a computer and she had many ways to go about this and make a strong solid case that authoroties can not simply ignore it. Not unless the guy is a influencial man in the community and has connections, then it would be difficult. But still having physical proof is really huge.

Exactly you don't know how you would react in that blind rage - with what she discovered! I feel sorry for her. She was just getting her life on track. To make such a traumatic discovery

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Sending you my love and deepest respect

I am sorry what happen to you wish everything the best for you to heal ❤️. and in Jade's case I think she chose violence because she know if she told her family they will want to see all those pictures which is traumatizing on its own let alone have to convince everyone that the "kind man" is actually evil .

@Jamal Johnson shut the fuck up. You’re a pathetic troll all over this thread like this is some reverse uno card. If a step mom did this to his son I would have the same reaction. I don’t know who wouldn’t. This comment says everything about you tho.

I am not afraid to say I condone it. ppl like him are NEVER held accountable it is always a slap on the wrist. She did the world a favor that beurcratic cowards are too afraid to do because we would rather follow the LETTER of the law rather than the spirit or reason why we make laws and society in the first place!!

Except that he claims Jade’s parents divorced when she was 10 and I was her Nanny when she was 4-5 and she lived with her dad and rarely saw her mum.

@@SwedestThing unless you have undeniable proof that you are who you claim you are, dont try to discredit the narrator.

Me neither. However if she really wanted to get at her father she could've done this completely differently. The problem is that her father wanted to "own" her. He was narcissistic at the very least. Sometimes with narcissistic men, their way of owning their female victim is by having some form of "ownership" of their body. This factor also plays on sexism, misogyny etc. By the father keeping those nasty photos of his daughter, in his twisted mind, that was his ownership of her. The best way to really make an individual like that pay, is by taking their power away. The only power that man really had was his access to the daughter and the pictures he had of her. What the daughter should've done was to first calm down. She then should've took her phone out and recorded everything she saw and narrated what took place. She should've confiscated the computer and any other electronics with her photos as evidence. She then should've ignored his calls and left him at the hospital. Technically he's still "sick" right? She then should've spoke with friends about it or who ever would be willing to listen. By doing that she would tarnish his image. She then should've went to the police about it. He more than likely would've done prison time because she had SO much evidence stacked against him. Finally she should've brung all of this to the attention of the family to tear his relationships with them a part. Whether the family turns against her, doesn't matter. She then should completely block the father and whoever backed him, out of her life. Her final goal should've been for her children to never discover what the father's face looks like. And if they do discover what he looks like, it will be an accident. That was how she was going to get the last laugh. Not by killing him and having people sympathize with him for being a victim of murder.

@@liku9832 blaming the victim yet again. "she shouldve she shoulve" HE SHOULDVE NEVER VIOLATED HER. how about that.

@Glam glam With your logic I can see a bunch of men that have women mad at them for petty reasons taking pictures of themselves and uploading them to the guys computers just to kill them. There's a reason you can't murder someone over a picture no matter who took it. You can be a sick and angry as you want at men but murder isn't the answer.

Being able to kill is another level and she can’t be boppin’ around free with that ability, but reporting him would have done very little with LE and look how lovingly his disgusting family still talks about him. I hope she is not treated too badly in jail.

@jamaljohnson6411Someone took his, crazy and out of touch, pills today. Do you need a hug? 😂😂😂

I think the problem is that we don't get Tom's side of the story. I believe the photos were real and I believe Jade, but due process requires that the accused be allowed to defend themselves. We aren't able to give Jade full credibility without that process, which makes the situation INCREDIBLY difficult. Regardless, there aren't many mitigating processes for murder to go unpunished. Best example is the case of Brigitte Harris, which was technically manslaughter - and if you read what happened in those circumstances, the hardest heart in the world wouldn't have given her prison time.

So if some old pervert prayed on your daughter for over a decade and while she was just a kid, you would be okay with it? You wouldn't go and murder that son of a bit*h in cold blood? If you don't already have kids of your own I pray to God that you never have them. You're already showing sings of uncaring father. Saying that that was no cause for murder? So according to you she should've just leave him alone and risk possibly being raped by that guy eventually. If that happened it would already be too late. So it's better safe than sorry and she stopped the creep on time before something even more terrible happened to her or maybe to someone else's child.

Yeah, detective said there was only one which was a screen saver.

Was there a discussion about who could have set the screen saver?

Cool story, still a murderer criminal. Hope she enjoys jail

I completely relate & agree. As a survivor, it’s extremely difficult to say that what she did as a reaction to such a disgusting thing he’s done to her since she was a kid, I don’t blame her for reacting like that. Cases like this are difficult because there is a big victim in all of this as well who unknowingly, was a victim since she was 16, finding that all out at one time must have been so overwhelming & horrible. I just wish she didn’t have to go through it alone. It’s hard for me to say that Jade did the wrong thing in this situation. Because the situation itself is so wrong & horrible. I feel so bad for her.

I had to stop watching because I'm currently going through the trauma due to a similar situation with a former step-parent who is not seeking professional help, nor are they not allowed back at the house even though EVERYONE knows what they did. I can't count how many times I've gone through things in my head wondering if it was my fault and then thinking of everything I would want to happen to them. This is a very hard case for me to listen to.

Yup, same. Tired asf asf of these dbags using women especially daughters of any form be8ng used and abused. LE/courts do NOTHING. So what are our future generations to do? Completely justified in my opinion

The more I watch these shows, the more I realize how much people like this step dad are supported. If she had reported him, there's a good chance he wouldn't have done any time even, and then they give her FIRST degree? I don't think she should do any real time for this, maybe just send her to some type of therapy facility for a couple years.

I would understand if her step father had sexually abused her but now she's looking at a possible 25 year sentence killing a man for taking a picture of her breasts! Why murder him and ruin your own life!! Makes no sense to me!

That type of betrayal kills you inside anyways, might as well take him out too

@@liverbird956 he didn't get killed for "taking a picture of her breasts". He got killed for collecting nude photos of her ever since she was a child by contacting her ex's and going on her devices. He was stalking her and collecting nude pictures of her for YEARS. Don't downplay what he did, as soon as he decided to prey on his own daughter her life was already ruined.

That was stupid she basically wasted here life if she is charged could have done the legal way and got him sentenced

@@adith9327 Exactly go down the legal route, she took matters into her own hands now she is probably going to spend her best years locked in a prison cell! It amazed me how shocked she looked in court when the Judge read the Guilty verdict...Lady you murdered somebody!! i know he was a pervert but you can't go around murdering people that have done you wrong can you imagine if everyone did that!

thank you so much!

LOL... but he didn't even tell you that, there were no pics! Yes, he sells emotionally, but investigation it is not.

Anything one deletes on their computer can be recovered by forensic analysts. This is why you microwave SD cards or hard drives & not just delete them if you truly want something gone. That evidence didn't exist.

Something tells me that Coffeyhouse wasn't interested in the truth on this one.

The photos stay on your phone. The files don't leave your phone when you text them to someone else. All he would need is access to her phone. Many parents have access to their teenagers' phones. Even later on as an adult, Janks may have thought nothing of her step-dad knowing the password to unlock her phone.

He could have accessed her mobile or computer Don’t need to be a genius She may have been like him , careless She never expected him to access her phone or computer

A great deal of important information was left out of this video. I'd recommend people read the actual reporting on the case.

Are you ok now? I hope you can seek healing for yourself, you don’t deserve that

I'm so sorry this happend to you :(

So sorry to hear this

I'm sorry Fabi. I'm an adult victim of child sexual abuse, and those thoughts live in my head even to today, at 60 years old. I hope you've sought counseling and other measures to mitigate the damage others have caused to you. I didn't start seeing a therapist until age 50, and it was because my teenaged daughter encouraged me to. I'm grateful to her for it.

Unfortunately, they are champion manipulators . My cousins stepfather was a pedo who went to jail. Much of our family have taken pedos side, because he bribed them with beer and food on outings. Please believe the victims.

100%

yeah exactly the ending kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. love this channel but i think it’s so disrespectful to tell victims how they should react to their own abuse.

@@rivershaley How is discouraging murder disrespectful?

Well, he has more facts and actually knows her character, unlike all of us here. If anyone would have a natural bias for her and against step dad it would be her father. She is lying.

@@robertreed7963ou don’t know that. My family “dealt” with this stuff internally (aka nobody did anything) and my sister who SAW me come back in the room after it happened told me 15 years later how she knew I was telling the truth about what happened to me but went along with the “she’s making it up” narrative anyway, because she is weak and also from our broken miserable family, and apparently needed to feel like one of the group even if it meant torching me. Read: she is the one person on earth, besides that uncle, who knew I was telling the truth - and when it was easier to stay quiet, she let the wolves have me even when she knew I was telling the truth. 15 years later she apologized and told me she knew she could have done more to correct mh BS family’s BS narrative (protect the uncles), and even though she KNEW I was telling the truth she let the wolves have me. It’s unbelievable the lengths people can go in their own minds to “act normal” and follow their programming when they’re in mental crisis. My own mother’s programming was to hushhhhh, so even when several of her brothers had come at me, she still can only freeze/fawn and demand I do the same, come to family dinner like everything is fine. It’s absolutely destroyed my relationship with my nuclear family, even though none of them touched me. Both of them have later told me that they believe me, and have apologized for not standing with or behind me when I told them what had happened as a kid. They still kept marching with the group anyways and basically threw me off a cliff, by maintaining the status quo at all costs. Their psyche couldn’t process what had happened to me so they autopiloted to usual programming and needed to act like nothing happened. It was a panic response, not apathy. Tl;dr it’s totally plausible that the birth father’s brain broke when he realized that he was dealing with a dead family member and that his daughter had killed someone, and he reverted to his Catholic schoolboy programming and immediately skip-hopped to the police station on autopilot to do what you do when you see a crime - call the police. Oversharing but it’s always hard to tell from the outside what people are thinking. If you just take them on their behavior, it’s kinda BS. Nobody could have guessed I was being SA’d, because I was always smiling and happy. I was always smiling and happy because I was so good at hiding it, because I learned young. People still tell me how happy and sparkly I am and it’s depressing AF. I am NOT happy, but I exude it. On autopilot. Still. While I’m at the lowest point in my life. Thus - it couldn’t have happened because she was always smiling is a cruel catch 22. He must not have believed her because he went to the police - he may well have been in shock, which shortcircuited his higher functioning and had him on autopilot. I’d be interested to hear an interview with him after the fact, or maybe after her sentencing. He may feel differently about his actions.

Oh my god you were betrayed over and over! I'm so sorry. Your witness brings me to tears. How fucking horrible that you were done that way. That shit is so wrong!

I'm sorry. How awful! Family can be pretty unhelpful and often seem to expect the victim to just get over it. They justify what the abuser did in any way possible. It's a losing situation. I don't blame Jade, either. We have zero retribution being SA'd, and reacting will only cause people to victim blame, and worse case, end to in prison.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. You survived and that's admirable. Sexual predators, especially those who prey on children, have no right to mercy. Not even a higher power could protect them from the wrath of justice; death.

Yeah, if we lived in a world where these monsters were ever actually held reasonably accountable, then maybe I'd argue that she should have reported him. But we all know the system straight up let's rapists who were caught in the act off with basically zero punishment. So until that changes, I'm not gonna pass judgment on any victim that takes justice into their own hands. I'll literally never feel any ounce of sympathy for any abuser. Ever.

@@sethbishop6890 I’m not saying that killing a man is okay simply because of this, however I am saying that as someone who has been through this myself, she was alone & she made the wrong decision because of all of that hitting her at once.

And the fact that you think being a "feminist" is a bigger insult than being a pedophile and a sex offender says SO MUCH about you. You left a less than 20 word comment and yet we found out so much about who you are....and none of it good.

I do too, I hate how this KZfaqr portrays her as such an awful person who had no right to kill this man. I mean he was literally her father and he had disgusting photos of her, my dad is a pedophile too and I get so angry when I think about him because he probably took photos of me when I was a baby/young child and it makes me feel sick to my stomach. If I ever found out he had photos of me like that I can't tell you how horrified and violated I would feel.

This was kind of my shocked reaction to the ending honestly If their reaction to him being a genuine monster was "but he was ok tho", maybe she felt like she had no choice, I mean, they proved that in the end. Glad to not have to be on that jury 😬

Stepdad* but yeah still weird

If you're not a person with common sense and logic then it may be hard to understand why you can't get away with murder. In her "case" (no evidence other than her words) it was only pictures, which makes this even less "justified". Yeah emotions can't save a 1st degree murderer from 25 years in prison i'm afraid

There’s some kind of automatic echo chamber when it comes to this kind of stuff. And no one recognizes that the school system itself is a great betrayal and abuse perpetrated on all people. I think this exacerbates any CSA trauma, because children are already all victims of the system. To take advantage of a child is to hurt someone who is already suffering and defenseless.

How the heck he get the picture of her and her boyfriend? Suddenly stumble in the Internet, and if you dumb enough to have your pictures in the internet, well to bad not only you step father see your body. You father, step brother, your schoo friend, your employees, your mail man see it to.

I agree that she hardly would have got any years if it happened in the heat of the moment. But with days passing in between and with so much evidence for premeditiaton... I'm not surprised she was found of guilty of first degree murder.

It's never morally correct to take a person's life. What you're describing is a double standard that enables us to find an excuse to take another's life if we can just keep talking ourselves into justifying it; if we consider any form of taking a human life morally just, nobody is ever truly off limits. And that should be highly concerning! Moral justice would look like sexual offenders being punished reliably, and not get away with their crimes. Moral justice would be to allow him to live, but confined for the rest of his life for violating another person in one of the most intimate ways possible. Moral justice is applying human rights even to those who don't abide by human rights; because the right to live needs to be, at all times, a fundamental right that cannot be swayed from in order for us to insist everyone, including marginalized groups, has a right to them. We cannot make exceptions because that's what fascism does! There are people in this world who believe it's moral justice for me to die because I'm not straight, because I'm disabled, because I'm chronically ill. They consider my life an infection to the human population. The only reason why they can't just get away with murdering me is because my human right to live trumps their moral values. Morality is subjective. The right to live is not.

it is the difference between fighting for the LETTER of the law vs the spirit of the law IE fighting to uphold exactly how the law is written and not upholding the reason we made the law in the first place for society / as an agreement in our current society.

I don't think I could ever say a murder is morally correct unless it prevents additional serious harm.

at least one of y'all gets it

He didn’t physically abuse her, what he did was wrong to someone who viewed him as a father figure and he deserved punishment, like beat him up or smash up his house or whatever. But to say that you think he deserves death is borderline psychotic.
