Waco
– It was one of those remarks toddlers make as casually as if they
are talking about something as inconsequential as nails, snails and
puppy dog tails.
“My
daddy put his wee wee in my mouth,” the three year old girl said,
according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by Sheriff's Office
Detective Jos. M. Scaramucci.
When
the child's mother pursued the matter, the kid clammed up. She
wouldn't talk about it.
According
to the detective, the child had been visiting her father in Bellmead
during the months between March and July of 2009. She and her mother
live in Arkansas. When he got the case in July of 2009, Detective
Scaramucci was unable to locate the child or her mother.
In
February of this year, Jody Bradshaw contacted him about the
counseling her daughter had received. The therapist was able to learn
that the child's father, a Bellmead man named Justin Brinegar, 41,
had pulled his pants down and persuaded the little girl to lick his
penis. He even showed her a movie of what he was wanting her to do,
according to the affidavit Det. Scaramucci filed.
A
DVD of the counseling sessions revealed that the child was not
showing any deception, according to the Children's Protection Center
Counselor Ally Orsi, of Little Rock. The child responded to
anatomical drawings and named each part of the experience accurately.
When
police arrested Mr. Brinegar on the charge of aggravated sexual
assault of a child, Jail Magistrate Virgil Bain set his bond at
$30,000.
In
a recorded interview, Detective Scaramucci later learned that another
female child of Mr. Brinegar had two similar experiences. When she
was 15, she awakened to find herself nude from the waist down after
going to bed fully clothed. Her father, she said, had his finger in
her vagina, but claimed she had consented to his attentions. She
denies it because, she said, she was asleep.
Two
years later, when she was suffering from neck pain caused by an
accident, he provided her with pain medication that made her “knocked
out;” when she again awoke nude, she was unable to remember an
alleged sexual assault in which Mr. Brinegar subsequently admitted
having penetrated her vagina.
Arrested
on that charge, Justice Court Judge Kristi DeCluitt set his bond at
$30,000.
When
19th Criminal District Court Judge Ralph Strother learned
of the offense, he ordered his arrest for insufficient bond. He set
no bond for his release.
It's
a provision of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure that allows a
condition of no bond on certain non-capital offenses that involve a
repeat offense involving sexual assault of a child.
In
a similar case, 54th Criminal District Court Judge Matt
Johnson ordered Jack Stone, 49, of Waco, held without bond after
Justice Court Judge Billy Martin set his bond at $150,000 on a charge
of aggravated sexual assault of a child in July.
Police
arrested Mr. Stone for indecency with a child on August 13 and
failure to register as a sex offender on a previous conviction on
August 15.
Ally Orsi is not the child protection centers therapist. She works as a therapist in Little Rock.
