Texas child rapist-murderer executed

The state of Texas has executed its 13th inmate of the year, 47-year-old convicted child rapist and murderer Eric Charles Nenno, officials said.

Prosecutors said Nenno admitted to luring the girl into his home, choking and raping her, and hiding her body in his attic, stuffing her clothing in a filing cabinet. An autopsy confirmed that Nicole had been choked to death and there had been attempted sexual assaults both before and after her death, the Item reported.

Sex offender convicted of soliciting kidnapping

A sex offender has been found guilty of soliciting someone to kidnap the mother of one of his victims to get the child to recant his testimony.

Forty-nine-year-old David A. Day of Richfield was sentenced in January 2006 to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting the 12-year-old boy.

A Washington County jury took less than an hour Thursday to convict him of trying to hire someone to kidnap the boy's mother and kill her unless the child and his father convinced a judge they had lied. It's the second time Day has been convicted of trying to get someone to silence the boy.

In March, he was sentenced in Dodge County to 24 years in prison for trying to hire another inmate at Waupun Correctional Institution to kidnap and kill the boy and his four siblings.

Perhaps our Supreme Court needs to rethink their decision not to allow child rape a capital crime?
