Teens Target Disabled Girl In Brutal Home Invasion:
Reason to Blow Up the World...
Two teenagers are now behind bars after a disturbing home invasion on Thursday that targeted a disabled girl.
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones calls the crime one of the more disturbing crimes he's ever seen in his 30 plus years of law enforcement.
It featured two suspects he likens to juvenile "Bonnie and Clydes" preying on a disabled girl.
9News is told the two suspects entered the home on Thursday night with the intent of stealing the homeowner's car on Friday morning and then leaving the Tri-state area.
When that plan fell through after the homeowner went to work in the car, the pair allegedly took out their frustrations on a disabled 18-year-old girl found to be still inside the home.
9News was told the girl was bound, had her head shaved, was gagged, and beaten with a baseball bat over the course of several hours.
It is not yet clear whether she was also sexually assaulted.
The pair was caught soon after the girl's mother returned home, but not before the property was severely robbed and vandalized.
9News is told the victim, identified as 18-year-old Ashley Clark, required hospitalization but is expected to be fine.
"Pray to God for mercy on their [the suspects] souls," said Bobby Clark, the victim's father. He had trouble finding words when asked to describe the crime.
"It is a terrible, terrible crime. Remember, I told you that she was tied up, and was moved from room to room to room. She told them, 'Please don't hit me in the head! I have had brain surgery, please don't do that!,' and they struck her in the head more than one time. They had no remorse they didn't care," said Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones.
'They' should take them down to Kentucky and let them be test targets at the Louisville Slugger factory.
One point for targeting the disabled, another point for breaking and entering, one more point for torturing the victim, and one last point for striking a brain surgery patient in the head with a bat. That's four points.
If these teens aren't charged as adults then there is no justice.
Nod of Doom to Home Sweet Home.
