IN - James Chadwell II, 42, arrested after girl 9, found in his home, Lafayette, 19 Apr 2021 #2

[Sillybilly]

Is he going to try for an Insanity Defense?

"At the end of his hearing, Chadwell asked, "Who do I speak with about a psychological evaluation?"

Magistrate Sarah Wyatt told him he needed to speak with his [court appointed] attorney."

He's trying a pathetic "feel sorry for me" schtick. Fat chance buddy .. you knew right from wrong when you lied to the cops on their first visit.

Based on how it's defined in the Indiana code, I'm thinking it could be two different types of acts/attempts.

Agreed. I have seen cases where they have say 15 counts of sexual assault. Which meant 15 different "times" or individual events. I think this one is marked by one successful and one attempted. Aka, interrupted.

Thanks Yemelyan. So perhaps an action prior to LE arriving the first time and another attack after they left. I think that makes sense.

I'm not understanding the 2 counts of child molesting. Anyone else have thoughts on why?

A possibility:
I wondered if it was an added charge for knowing she was under 14:
A person can be convicted of attempted child molestation, if he or she believed the child to be under 14 at the time, even if the child wasn't.

If he had any chance at bond he would have to go into hiding. There are too many people who would want to kill him, and I can't blame them if what was posted here from behind the paywall article is in fact what happened. (Which I have no reason to believe otherwise.)

My opinion only, all speculation.

Dbm sorry i was trying to post while on the treadmill. I do not recommend!

"forcing him to qucikly dress" I think they meant quickly, lol, but ugh.

According to this, he lured her inside to pet his dogs & then attacked her. He's officially the grossest kind of human scum and I hope he never sees the light of day again.

This can't be right can it? "Chadwell is currently being held on a $50,000 cash bond."

How about NO bail?????

Hi, new here but been a lurker for a long time following the delphi case and decided might as well sign up and join in lol Anyway I would like to point out that I am a 51 year old woman whose ring finger is size 4 and my middle and index are size five. My mom is also size 5 and several adult female friends I know are size 5 as well. This Is the Average Ring Size for Men and Women According to that average size for a woman's ring finger is 6. I am a little petite but still more then likely he got those for one of the women he was dating. Ive been snooping on his social media accounts since the story first broke and hes had a few women he was serious with. One in particular he said something to the effect of "forget about the engagement party, she wont even speak to me now" or something like that

Hello and welcome, thank for your insight.

Oh, Dear Lord...

A knock on James Brian Chadwell II's door by police officers interrupted his sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl he had locked in his basement, forcing him to quickly dress and answer the door, according to prosecutors.

Planned. I need to know how many other times he's done this or something similar.

"forcing him to qucikly dress" I think they meant quickly, lol, but ugh.

While he knew the cops were right outside looking for this child and had even spoken with him once already. IMO very compulsive behavior that I can't even find the words to describe.

I’m still catching up, but saw that too, and was like WTH - I’m thinking this is old information from the previous article, not removed when they added the update.

Straight out of Castro.

Ugh. But maybe that's why he let police in -- he knew the gig was up either way and if he acted like nothing was wrong he could possibly claim insanity (didn't know right from wrong).

It sounds like one act was completed and one act was interrupted. Excuse me while I go throw up.

BBM:

I don't have strong feelings one way or the other whether he could be involved in other cases, but his very carefully researched social media presence and personality (great work everyone!) immediately made me think he was a typical King Baby personality, very common among addicts and alcoholics. Refusal to grow up, craves instant gratification, and throws tantrums when things don't go their way, along with a good dose of narcissism.

That’s a new one (to me)...learning something new here every day.

I felt that way as I read the chain lock as well. It seems very possible he may have planned for such an event.
JMO- there is a whole diff level here in this monster's compulsive instincts. He wasn't pacing worried because the cops were outside his door, what if I get caught, etc. He was as it was reported "interrupted"

Not sure if this has been linked. Didn't think I saw it.

Edited to add: This appears to be JBCII Google reviews and photos.

Well done.

LadyL posted JBC was selling size 5 rings on FB. I don't know, if someone already posted about this, but that is a child's ring size. Age 9-10.

there is no way a man charged with attempted murder of a child is out on bond.

His review of Home for Hope is certainly interesting.

Indeed, according this he’s not into drugs (or so he says).
