I hope justice is served in this case. Has it been established, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Christina was the abductor?

Thanks for responding. Does anyone else have an opinion?

This is a strange case. MOO. I can't really get a feel for how things will play out in court. I can't recall a similar case.

From above article:

Christina Regusters said such touching was fine because her own father had touched her in the same way, the girl said. (The defendant's father served a prison term for assaulting her and her sister.)

I hadn't heard this information before, and I'm not making any excuses for her, but it answers the why question, IMO.

I hate to say it but the evidence is looking pretty thin. I am surprised that no DNA or fingerprints of N were found in the house. Although. ..CR was not arrested for some time and could have cleaned up.
I am not convinced that the evidence is enough. They better have more to show that jury.
But that still leaves the question of what actually happened and who did it.

I think she did it, but they might not be able to prove it. It is maddening they didnt give her the Miranda in time. How did that happen?

My theories about this case

CR carried the victim into the house in a laundry bag so there would be no footprint or fiber evidence. She disrobed the poor child and put the clothes and shoes in the same laundry bag. She probably went into another neighborhood and put that bag in somebody else's bin.

But I don't have an explanation for why no one in the house heard anything. That's just bizarre.

I am so confused by this case. I don't really know what I think. Sometimes I feel like someone else was involved, but they have yet to uncover any info on any other participants. I just don't know.

That outburst in court was pure bs to get the sympathy of the jury. CR is in denial about her sickness. She set this whole thing up in a way that allows her to hide behind masks and disguises. Think about it. The niqab robes, the fake name Rashida, the photos of the white man on the cellphone. Then there's China who allegedly rescued N.. and who also is the only one whose face was actually shown to the victim. Even CR cannot stomach her disgusting and cruel ways
I don't think she suffers from multiple personality disorder. I think she's just sick selfish and in denial. And that thing about CR testifying is also bs. Do any of you really think she'll take the stand?

The prosecution presented a damning piece of evidence – a hot pink laptop – in its case against 21-year-old alleged child rapist Christina Regusters today...

FBI agent Michael Moore testified that the laptop belonging to Regusters was used to surf the Internet for topics such as Muslim garb, rape, DNA, fingerprinting, and child 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬...

Someone deleted the salacious searches and images on the laptop, but Moore was able to uncover them during his digital investigation.

Moore testified that Regusters' laptop showed web searches for Muslim clothing on Jan. 12; sites for sex with young girls between 2:15 a.m. and 2:25 a.m. on Jan. 14; and searches on Jan. 16 for information about how long saliva and other fluids remain viable for DNA testing and whether bathing destroyed DNA evidence.

The young victim testified that her abductor bathed her after she was assaulted...

Laptops used by Regusters' aunt and her boyfriend showed no incriminating web searches, Moore added.

Prosecutor Erin O'Brien said she will call the prosecution's last witness tomorrow and defense attorney Fred Harrison Jr. said he expects that he be in done in less than a day and to expect closing arguments to begin Wednesday.

Prior to the start of the trial, Harrison said he would likely call Regusters to the stand in her own defense, however, he has not indicated if he will in fact do so.

I hope she testifies cuz she is vile and evil and it will bleed through her testimony. But I don't think she will.

She'll be questioned about those disgusting videos on her computer if she testifies. She can't face what she did. That's why she tried to run out of the courtroom when her cousin was spilling the beans.

Sounds to me like the Prosecution has this all wrapped up with a nice little bow. Good work for the LE in this case. So sorry the little 5 yr old had to endure this awful crime that was done to her.

I just hope, and pray the jury see's the truth presented!

I'm feeling more hopeful now. Yay!

I'd be super surprised if she testifies in her own behalf. In fact, I'm sure her little outbursts were her way of "testifying" without having to take the stand.

Methinks she doth protest too much.

The question of how this happened without anyone noticing hasn't been answered. I would also have liked to hear about how CR was able to destroy all evidence of the victim being in the house. Plus I never read any info about whether the victim's DNA was found on the white coat that CR's aunt identified as belonging to her. One other thing I wanted to know was whether the victim was blindfolded when she was bathed or if it was the woman in black robes or possibly China?

This character witness stuff is no defense at all.

I followed this case from the get go here and did much sleuthing of the defendant as we were all closing in on her. I have been unable to follow or comment on the trial here at WS til now. This case was and remains such an emotional and hurtful one for me. Once Regusters was arrested and it became clear to me that she had indeed acted alone it brought up a lot of ugly feelings I needed to get under control.

I feel very confident that a part of her past broke her and formed of her an incomplete human being. She is sick beyond words and there is no excuse for what this monster has done. I had to figure out how to see and yet separate the child she was and the monster she is now.

As a survivor, I can never ever ever give her a bye or feel her history mitigates what she has chosen to do to other children. I hope they have the evidence to put this unusual person away for a very very long time. She will never be rehabilitated IMO and will be a danger to children as long as she is living.

many many children are sexually abused. Heinously horribly and repeatedly. And yet very few of them IMO go on to victimize others. She made choices. SHE made choices.

That is all there is to it for me.

may little N heal and thrive. May she receive any and all support she needs to do so for a lifetime if necessary and may the school district pay for ever cent of it. They let this baby down and they ultimately allowed for CR to be able to commit this horrific crime.
