A 12-year-old girl has admitted to committing several crimes when she vanished with a 2-year-old she was baby-sitting earlier this summer... The girl made the admissions to inducing panic, unlawful restraint and violating the terms of her probation in an earlier case...
Besides Richardson, who has pleaded not guilty to a rape charge, three others are behind bars because of their encounters with the girl. John Williams, a convicted sex offender, is serving a prison sentence of 20 years to life as a result of his contact with her, while an 18-year-old who had sexual contact with the girl while he was 16 is being held by the Ohio Department of Youth Services. A third man, convicted sex offender Christopher Sims, is awaiting trial on a rape charge because of his alleged sexual relationship with the girl.
Under Ohio law, any sort of sexual contact with someone under the age of 13 is considered rape, even if its consensual and the defendant wasnt aware of the victims age.
