Mom Gets 25 Years for Allowing Sexual Assault of ChildO’FALLON, Mo. – A Missouri woman was sentenced to 25 years in prison for encouraging her boyfriend to sexually assault her 4-month-old daughter – an incident that led to the baby’s death. Jessica Lynn Howell (above left), 26, reportedly pled guilty Friday to felony abuse of a child and felony murder.
During the attack, which took place in December 2012, Howell allowed her boyfriend, Jordan Lafayette Prince, 26 (above right), to beat and strangle her infant in an attempt to stop her crying. Prince, who was a registered sex offender whom Howell met on Facebook while pregnant, reportedly admitted to the mother he had sexually abused a 4-year-old girl in Idaho, according to police. Despite this knowledge, Howell proceeded to take her baby, Ashlynn Lillith Peters, to Prince’s mobile home for overnight visits. When her child was 1-month-old, Howell sent several text messages to Prince in which she told him she wanted him to have sexual contact with her baby.
Prosecutors sais the night before the girl was assaulted and killed, Jessica Howell had taken Ashlynn with her to spend the night at Prince’s home. Evidence included text messages from the mother consenting to the sexual assault of her daughter by Prince. Tim Lohmar, St. Charles prosecuting attorney, said, “In those text messages she suggested and encouraged some unspeakable things ... It is very, very disturbing.”
Although Ashlynn died of strangulation, the child was sexually assaulted causing multiple tears to her anus, a massive laceration to her rectum with massive hematoma in the area of the pelvis ... The injuries to her anus and rectum of Ashlynn were sufficient to eventually cause her death even without the strangulation. Autopsy revealed there were also bruises to her chest, abdomen, left arm, banc and legs and there was blunt force trauma to the left side of her head and a cut to her ear.
Howell has two other children. One has been adopted and the other is in foster care.
In court, Howell shook her head in court when Circuit Judge Dan Pelikan asked if she had any remorse and responded, “My actions were foolish. I didn’t understand the weight of my actions.”
Prince has been charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a child and forcible sodomy. His trial is scheduled to begin March 23.Sources: WDAF News and Lisa Fogarty, Opposing Views, January 12, 2015.

That sick bitch deserved the death penalty because she is just as guilty as the sick SOB who raped and murdered that poor child.

Some people really should be sterilized. Getting involved with a sex offender while pregnant and bringing him home? Just looking at her, you can tell there's something very wrong with her. The only ones I feel sorry for are her kids, for knowing their mother allowed this (and perhaps they have also suffered abuse but even if they have not, it is traumatic to know this woman is your mother) and the poor baby that was raped and tortured. What an awful death, brought on by the person who is supposed to protect you from monsters like these two. These two ought to never step foot on the streets again, and that is too kind!

How many times have I commented about how ungodly stupid women are? Women like this freak and that idiot who was kidnaped and kept in a box under the bed and didn't escape when she had the chance are the reason people think twice about placing women in supervisory positions, or hiring them at all, and pay them less when they do hire them. This lowlife who turned her baby over to a child molester is, of course, a single mother, which is another term for LOSER! And before any of you feminists get your knickers in a twist, the definition of "single mother" is a woman who gave birth out of wedlock. It does not apply to widows. Divorced women, however, are just as bad as single mothers when it comes to taking up with strange men who abuse and mistreat their kids. Most single mothers and divorced women will take up with just about any loser that comes along. These bitches aren't fit to raise a freaking dog, let alone a child! |

You won't get any argument from me, Jason. There are statistics that show that children of single and divorced women are much more likely to be abused and neglected, especially by boyfriends of their mothers. But the same isn't true of children of windows and I think that's because widows usually remain closer to family members than single and divorced women, and widows are just more respectable. I know some single and divorced mothers who bring home men to live with them for a few months at the time and the children hate it. A lot of those men abuse and neglect the children and the mother allows it because she's afraid he'll leave if she says anything.
