Woman Rapes A 14 Year Old Boy


An Ohio woman has been charged with kidnapping, assault and rape after a 14-year-old boy reported she forced him into her home at knife-point and sexually assaulted him, authorities said.

Jamie Nichole Phillips, 20, faces up to 31 years in prison for the alleged crimes, which police say occurred April 7 at her Eastwood Drive apartment in Union Township.

Phillips is being held in the Clermont County Jail. Her cash bond is set at $200,000. She would have to post the entire amount to be released.

"She's alleged to have approached this boy in the parking lot of her apartment complex," Clermont County Prosecutor Don White told The Huffington Post.

"With a knife she forced [the victim] to go back to her apartment and forced him to participate in sexual acts," White said.

Phillips allegedly threatened the teen by placing the knife against his throat and chest, police said.

The alleged rape was interrupted when someone knocked on the woman's door and the boy fled. The boy told his friends about the incident and they encouraged him to come forward. The victim's family filed a police report on Easter Sunday.

According to police, investigators found a knife and other supporting evidence in Phillips' apartment. A Clermont County grand jury indicted her Wednesday for kidnapping, felonious assault, rape and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Zimmerman Has Support From Racist Friends.


As students at The Ohio State University approached the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center Thursday morning, they were met by three simple words loaded with a malicious meaning: Long Live Zimmerman.


The vandalism is in reference to George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader responsible for the murder of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

Students immediately took to social media to express their anger, tweeting the university’s president and circulating the photo.

President Gordon Gee tweeted back stating, “Just learned of vandalism at our Hale Center. Deplorable act of intolerance– not who we are at Ohio State. Our Police are investigating.” He is expected to make an official statement about the incident Thursday afternoon.

The white spray paint has since been removed by a Student Life employee, but there are no suspects in the case.

Larry Williamson, director of the Hale Center, says they are working with University Police and are taking the necessary steps so that incidents like this never happen again.

“We want to be sure that these types of things don’t happen here at the Ohio State University,” Williamson said. “This is not the kind of climate that Ohio State is trying to have here at this university. The university prides itself in diversity and you have things like that that takes a step back.”

“We’re dealing with the situation with heightened security. We’re going try to make sure that we do everything possible that these types of things don’t happen.”

OSU students will meet at the Hale Center Thursday night to discuss the vandalism at their weekly Black Student Association meeting.

Not Even Gay Men Safe From Police Abuse.

A federal lawsuit filed by two men from Cleveland alleges that they were beaten by police officers, humiliated, and denied pants because they were gay.

Cleveland’s Fox 8 News reports that the men, Jonathan Simcox and Steven Ondo, were “subjected to derogatory name-calling and then hauled off to jail in their underwear, despite repeated requests to change clothes.”

The arrest last April stemmed from an incident that occurred a week earlier. The couple say they were confronted by a neighbor as they argued while walking home from a bar. The neighbor was an off-duty Cleveland policeman.
