EVANSVILLE, Indiana (AP) -- An inmate serving a life sentence for molesting and murdering a 10-year-old girl named Katie was apparently forcibly tattooed across the forehead by a fellow prisoner with the words "KATIE'S REVENGE," authorities say.

Anthony Ray Stockelman, 39, was removed from the general prison population for his own safety last weekend after authorities discovered the tattoo, officials said.

Prison officials said an inmate has been identified as a suspect.

A photo of what is identified as Stockelman's forehead appeared this week on a crime blog called "Lost In Lima Ohio" that focuses on news reports about crimes against children and women.

Two prison guards suspected of supplying the picture were fired for making unauthorized copies of an evidence photo, said Rich Larsen, a spokesman for the Wabash Valley state prison in Carlisle, about 70 miles north of Evansville.

Child molesters rank near the bottom of the prison hierarchy and are often brutalized by other inmates. Tattoos are against prison regulations, but inmates often fashion crude tattoo instruments with plastic utensils and needles.

Stockelman's tattoo covers nearly his entire forehead.

"If I had to guess I'd say it's a statement from the inmates," said Collman's father, John Neace.

Stockelman pleaded guilty to abducting, molesting and drowning Katlyn "Katie" Collman, whose body was found in 2005 in a creek about 15 miles from her home in the town of Crothersville.

Police initially believed Katie was abducted and slain because she had stumbled onto a methamphetamine operation in the neighborhood, but that theory was later discarded.

Another man confessed to the killing at one point but was cleared after DNA and other evidence connected Stockelman to the crime.

He was found guilty of a crime and is being punished by life imprisonment. Your society has determined that life imprisonment is a suitable punishment for the crime, and I accept that. That the prison system cannot protect an inmate from being attacked by his fellow inmates is a failure of justice, not an application of it.

Independent vigilantism, murder, rape, and assault, are completely unacceptable in a civilized society, whether it interferes with people's childish urges towards violence or not.

That would be fine. I don't have any objections to the state using murder as a punishment within the confines of the judicial system. What I do have an enormous problem with is extrajudicial assault, torture, and murder imposed on people already receiving their designated punishments, by other prisoners, often with the tacit approval of the guards.

Vigilantism is usually sadistic and inhumane, and is always unjust.

Severe crimes against the old, young & defenseless should be dealt with severely & without ANY compassion.

What SW said.

I think that after sentencing, the family of the victim should be allowed the option of some amount of time (say, 2-24 hours) with the perpetrator in a sound proof room and what ever happens happens.

I guarantee that if anything even remotely close to this happened to Little ASF, the shithead that did it wouldn't even LIVE to see his sentencing hearing. And I don't care what happens to me after I exact my revenge, because she is my whole life and if I lose her I have nothing to live for. Hell, I'd probably off myself so I could continue kicking the scumbag's ass all the way to and across the River Styx.

ACLU defends child-molester group
Asks judge to throw out lawsuit against NAMBLA for 10-year-old's murder
Posted: December 13, 2000
1:00 a.m. Eastern

By Julie Foster
© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com

The American Civil Liberties Union has asked a judge to dismiss what it calls an "unconstitutional" lawsuit against a national pedophile organization being sued in a wrongful death case after two of the group's members brutally raped and murdered a 10-year-old boy.

The $200 million civil lawsuit, which charges the North American Man-Boy Love Association with wrongful death, was originally filed in Massachusetts Federal District Court on May 16.

As reported in WorldNetDaily, Salvatore Sicari and Charles Jaynes picked up fifth-grader Jeffrey Curley and took the boy to the Boston Public Library where Jaynes accessed NAMBLA's website. Later, the men attempted to sexually assault Curley, but the boy fought back. Attempting to restrain him, Jaynes gagged the 10-year-old with a gasoline-soaked rag, eventually killing him. The men put Jeffrey's body in a tub with concrete and threw it in a river.

According to Curley family attorney Larry Frisoli, Jaynes kept a diary in which he wrote that he turned to NAMBLA's website in order to gain psychological comfort for what he was about to do. The killer had been stalking Curley prior to the boy's murder and possessed various materials from the clandestine group.

The ACLU argues that the newsletters and other NAMBLA materials in Jaynes' possession, which contain ''photographs of boys of various ages and nude drawings of boys,'' are protected speech under the Constitution. The material does not ''urge, promote, advocate or even condone torture, mutilation or murder,'' ACLU attorneys wrote. ''Examination of the materials that have been identified by the plaintiffs will show that they simply do not advocate violation of the law,'' the dismissal motion states. ''But even if that were the case, speech is not deprived of the protection of the First Amendment simply because it advocates an unlawful act."

Both killers are now serving life sentences. The family filed the lawsuit against NAMBLA and the Internet service provider that hosted its site, arguing their son might still be alive were it not for the group and its website.

But the ACLU believes NAMBLA is being unconstitutionally ''sued for their ideas.'' According to court documents from the ACLU, the case raises ''profoundly important questions under the First Amendment,'' because NAMBLA is not being sued for making any particular statements, but simply for creating an ''environment'' that encourages sexual abuse.

''What they don't like is what NAMBLA stands for,'' said John Reinstein, legal director of the Massachusetts chapter of the ACLU. ''They don't like their ideas or the notion that someone else would have accepted them,'' he told the Boston Globe.

The Curleys won a $328 million wrongful death case against their son's killers earlier this year, but since both men are penniless, Frisoli called it largely a moral victory. WND reported in July that Frisoli was preparing a class-action lawsuit against NAMBLA. If NAMBLA loses the class-action suit, individuals and parents of children who were involved in sexual relationships with members will be able to collect damages.

According to Frisoli, NAMBLA has anywhere from 300 to 1,300 members, depending on which time period is selected for the lawsuit, translating to thousands of children that would constitute the class in the suit.


And damn the ACLU for fighting for things like school desegregation, freedom of speech (however hateful or disgusting to you or me it might be, it's still speech protected by the Constitution of the United States), freedom of expression, making sure the office of the Presidency of the U.S. is not above the law, et al.

I'm not saying I even agree with as far as the ACLU goes in the NAMBLA case (I believe that speech which incites a crime is not protected by the First Amendment), but for someone that always likes to say, "Well, Kori asked me to stay here, so fuck you," when people bring up your year-long self-ban [seeing as how it's speech that no matter how stupid it was, you can yell and lie (since you did not actually do what you said you would do) all you want and nobody can force you to do different].

The ACLU didn't say, "Go fuck little boys." They said, "You can say you think the laws should be changed, you can send out literature asking for people to petition their representatives to change the laws, but you suck for the vile acts you wish to perform."

Speech that is vile, disgusting and that you and I abhor is still speech protected by one of the most influential documents in history.

JUSTICE

Vigilantism is usually sadistic and inhumane, and is always unjust.

First clause true, second clause false.

To claim that vigilantism is always unjust, you have to assume that whatever punishment the criminal justice system imposes is in fact just, and nothing more is appropriate. But the criminal justice system is not always (or often) just.

I mean, just take an anecdotal example: Guy murders someone, mountain of evidence against him, but police officers accidentally mishandled the most damning evidence, which is excluded from trial, and he's acquitted. This shit doesn't happen all the time (except on Law and Order), but it does happen.

Is it just for a murderer to walk free because of an ad hoc flaw in the procedural safeguards of the criminal justice system? Must we call it just simply because it was the result reached by our justice system? Or is justice a concept that exists outside of whatever system we have erected to exact it?

I think everyone will admit that the criminal justice system is capable of perpetrating an injustice at times, either by incarcerating the innocent or failing to punish the guilty. In the latter case, vigilantism can be the only thing that actually serves the ends of justice.

Now I agree that a civilized society can't allow vigilantism legally. I don't really know if tattoing the name of the little girl someone raped and murdered on their forehead is a "just" act. But ethically, in some situations, a vigilante act might be the only way to rebalance the scales or whatever. It is possible to imagine a circumstance where a private actor exacts the same punishment on a wrongdoer that the state would impose if the system hadn't failed.

How can you call that action unjust?

I wasn't advocating direct democracy. My point was that the main reason America isn't a direct democracy is to avoid rule by the irrational whims of the masses. Wanting to maim child rapists is one of these whims. When you cool down and start to think about these things rationally instead of just acting on your initial emotional response, vigilantism appears to be a pretty unacceptable in a civilized society.

When did civilized equate to not only the acceptance but the defense of abase, immoral behavior of sexual deviants? Civilized societies are progressive, enlightened and educated. None of those characteristics indicate a social group that would be tolerant of the animalistic, abhorant behavior of pedophiles.

A hundred years ago a horse thief was hung for his actions. Do we hang horse (car) thiefs today? No. Why, because we have become more civilized, or is it more because our moral and value systems have changed? I'll put my money on the latter, and that is the same reason why people will argue that child molesters have rights.

No one is defending pedophilia here (at least not yet). I think imprisoning a child rapist and murderer for life shows that society does NOT tolerate that kind of behavior. Thus, just because you don't want to allow them to be TORTURED while spending life in prison does not mean that you are tolerant of their behavior.

Allowing them to be TORTURED for their crimes is just clearly uncivilized. If taking a picture with a bunch of nude POWs and flushing their religious book down the toilet is torture, carving shit into someone's forehead is torture too. Life in prison might not be enough for someone like this, maybe capital punishment is more appropriate, but I don't see how anyone can think sadistic torture is justice. Those two concepts just seem too antithetical to coexist.

I agree that our moral and value systems have changed. I would like to think that they have EVOLVED and PROGRESSED, that we are not just treading water jumping from one set of morals to another without improving in any way. So I think that hanging horse thieves is not only a DIFFERENT moral system, but also a more UNCIVILIZED one. But shit, who knows, there are a ton of people who think that people like this shouldn't even be incarcerated since it's inhumane, they should instead be rehabilitated through therapy conducted in a positive environment. Maybe those people are really more civilized than any of us.

I'm not necessarily advocating carving up someone's forehead, but I am not crying in my beer over it either. In my opinion, the dude shouldn't even be in jail tossing salads. He shouldn't have lived this long to begin with.

You do realize that we are talking about civilized behavior in the context of jailyard justice? No one is ever going to mistake prison life as being a microcosm of society.

Exactly. The inmates run the place. It wasn't the guards that gave him that tat.

He violated the one of the most simple and basic rules of human behavior...you protect children...you damn sure don't intentionally harm them.

his reward for killing that girl was getting to spend the rest of his life with others who had similar disregard for societal rules of right and wrong. Now he is a victim? tough shit....
