The fact that they caught this guy who had video taped raping a 3 year old was the best part.. I am so angry I can't even think of the basta*ds name right now.....the little one is safe...poor baby... What really pisses me off is the photos they keep showing of the guy...A couple are police photos and the others where taken from the video tape of just him but he is over the little girl (who you can't see) but you know she is there... I don't want to see the guy period, let alone in a video picture of him on the bed with the little girl under him ( again I can't see her but I know she is there).....It just makes my skin crawl...I just can't believe those are the photos being shown...It just makes me so angry and sick.... Why is this necessary? They have the creep so skip the pictures..... What are your thoughts?...I like Nancy Grace but come on...This is way to much...

I've been forming a response in my head, then having to rethink, knowing half of my words wouldn't be allowed. There is just no reason this trash needs to be shown. Sure, put the ar*ehole's police mugshot on so that people know the definition of the lowest form of scum. But to have shots from the video is just gutter journalism. I've actually never heard of Nancy Grace, but going by that, she's not very professional. Lets hope this sh*thead gets his just desserts in jail!

Did I tune in late or miss it from changing the channel? I swore she was going on and on about Brittney Spears, and Im just fed up with hearing about that. lol She was getting on my nerves, she really did have a high & mighty attitude about the Spears story. Hell I just could have been sleepy and it wasnt Nancy Grace at all! But I thought it was. lol Bay Lay Gray xx

Those are the two pictures I saw also...and they should have been the only ones shown...None of the bedroom video ones should have been shown...Totally unnecessary...

Oh my what a can of worms you have opened... It is not the decision of the person (Nancy Grace)delivering the news as to what gets shown on the news. That is up to their editor, president, v-president and so own down the line....If she had refused to talk about it they could have fired her. The decision to show parts of the tape had to be put forth and agreed upon by many who work at that TV station. Even the parents of the child was notified of this footage. Evidently it really was a good idea, It woke up some people of what is going on out there in this world. You wouldn't have gotten as riled up if you only saw mug shots of this creature. Sometimes it's news like this that shocks and angers people that gets the job done. I hope that if he has done this before that this news footage got someone to reconsider keeping their mouth shut and will come forward to help put him away for life. Kudo to CNN for having the guts to do this.

I understand completely. I am not blaming Nancy for this because I know she has to report what they want her too....Nancy isn't in charge but has disagreed many times with what they show in the background while she is talking to different people...This footage is what his ex-girlfriend saw and reported to authorities about who he was...Exposure is important...I totally agree with you there....It is still valuable to any other victims out there...even though he has been caught...Thank you for your response...

You know the public has a right to know about the bad people and things that happen in this world what I don't understand is why do these news achors have to replay and replay the video over an over an over again. Like you not liking to see the mans face and knowing he is doing what he is doing. They didn't have to show the video at all they had the other picture of the guy. I agree with you on this the news people need to stop showing the bad thing over an over again it just hurts the victim over and over again. It's like they have two faces one is sympathetic and another is obessed with watching the tape over an over again. And it just makes the predator stay in the limelight when really he should be six feet under. - Amber

I think alot of it has to do with ratings, I am not really a big fan of hers she seems like a b@#$% to me but I guess in her line of work you almost have to be

She does get on my nerves too! It is sad that this comes down to ratings and this little girls life was at stake as is her future...They have two other photos of him, use them and not the video...Would Nancy want her twins to be exposed like that?...I am not sure when she is due to deliver the twins...

The more detailed the show the higher the ratings. I can imagine how horrified the parents of the child must be knowing that their child is the one that is not being shown in the video. The media needs to consider that this footage will be seen by the child's family and friends. It just isn't right.

The sad part is that the mother told Dr. Phil that she had no idea this was happening to her little girl...

I saw some of the pictures on our local news, but they kept the more graphic ones off the air. For an on air personality to keep showing things like that on a tv show is plain wrong. I mean, it's sickening enough just knowing that something like that happened. But to have to see it over and over again on the screen? Not right at all.

That is sick that they would show details like that. I guess they do it for the shock value but it really is in poor taste and repulsive. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Right now these are probably the only photograph they have of this creep. I think they need to keep showing his photo. I highly doubt this is the only little girl he has abused in his life. Maybe someone else will recognize him from the photos and come forward. The more charges against this creep the better.

I do understand that part and that is how his ex girlfriend realized it was him...They do have a couple of police photos of him..This is probably the reason but it just sickens me...They did state that he has probably done this before....Thank you for your response...

Gah, what in the world!? I shouldn't be surprised she ain't all that great. I think they could have done without the video, why display a most horrific thing over and over as background footage or example footage? -_-

That is the feeling seeing these photos gave to me..No need for it and I do pray for the little one that she gets the therapy she needs to cope with this..
