I know a lot about this case since im involved. Many people are asking, why did these people just NOW come forward, a decade later? It’s because the rapist has a 2-year-old son and they suspected he was being abused..so that is why they just now came forward. Nathaniel Sturgill deserves to be put away forever.
I hope this guy rots in jail. Or better yet, I hope he gets raped in jail.
Why isn’t there a pic or mug shot of him in this report?
He also got charged with Pandering Explicit Material involving a Minor. That explains the ten years thing right there… whatever horrible thing he did, he probably took pictures or video of it, and it’s only recently been obtained by police.
Ten years ago. Oy!
He’ll have fun down in county when his charges become known by the other prisoners…
I’ts coming to light now because the children just remembered now that they are adults.
If proven guilty he should be put to death.
What I want to say might be offensive andfull of anger etc so please feel free to fill in your own thoughts
I have a hard time understanding this.. this happen 10 years ago ? ? and it is coming to light now ? ?
Something is not right…
Wow…just wow. I’d like to really put what should happen to this trash, but I’d end up getting banned from the site since they are policing it like crazy now.
