Valpo 16-year-old girl charged as an adult in sex attack

[cali]

VALPARAISO | Prosecutors opted Monday to exercise their right to charge a 16-year-old Valparaiso girl as an adult on accusations of handcuffing, confining for hours and sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy last week.

April Kuchta, of the 300 block of Roseland Terrace, was charged with felony counts of criminal deviate conduct, criminal confinement, intimidation and sexual battery, as well as a misdemeanor battery charge.

The charging information, which reveals far more details than were released last week by police, accuses Kuchta of luring the boy, who has special needs, to her house via text messages to talk between 8 and 9 p.m. April 9. The boy then reportedly was led at knifepoint to the kitchen where he was handcuffed behind his back and poked with the knife.

Kuchta is accused of recording some of the incident with her cell phone while forcing the boy to make humiliating statements. She also is accused of sexually assaulting him and pleading with him for sex.

1. Wow

I clicked on this wondering what a "sex attack" by a 16 year old girl might entail.

Did not expect this.

She sounds horrendous.

2. That poor dear!

I wonder what dreadful mental disorder or past abuse she has suffered at the hands of some man to make her behave so badly?

And for the impaired: :sarcasm:

9. ...what?

[AngryAmish]

3. Clearly this isn't her fault.

[aikoaiko]

4. If true, I wouldn't want this person to ever be free to do it or anything like it again.

Sadistic mofo.

5. The juvenile system should be equipped to deal with this.

It is getting to the point where every serious crime defaults to the adult system regardless of the age of the perpetrator.

6. No kidding. Why isn't it? (nt)

[snooper2]

15. be better to keep her away from "juveniles" who are in for minor shit

like tagging signs and smoking some weed

[Aerows]

16. No Kidding!

She is in a whole other category than juveniles for this.

7. I've heard of mean girls, but this goes way beyond that.

Uff da!

[originalpckelly]

8. Aaaw fuck, he was asking for it.

At least he was after she had him at knife point, I bet.

10. are you men really serious here. is one person of either gender excusing this behavior?

i would be throwing in kidnapping, assault and anything else with this girl

adult? i dont know or care. she made her choices. she can pay for it and i am not big on the juvenile, adult issue

but you making it a whine that anyone is excusing this behavior is ridiculous. some of the comments are just getting sick, with what happened to this boy.

[msanthrope]

11. No. I suspect the menfolk are a bit tired of the 'he's evil but she's sick' mentality

that is sometimes on display here.

[seabeyond]

12. i have had as much empathy for men that have done some horrible crimes

as i have for women. i dont play that game. and it is not about gender for me. each situation is its own. but the replies are getting sick adn insensitive with what this boy has gone thru adn stupid to suggest anyone is excusing it. no one is.

[joeunderdog]

13. +1. If the genders were reversed, this would be taken very seriously. nt

[chrisa]

14. Wow... Raping a special needs child at knifepoint...

:wtf:

[ZombieHorde]

17. Scary. nt

[JI7]

18. good

[JI7]

19. i read the article and it says it was actually 2 girls involved in this, the other was 14

but i guess they aren't charging her as adult.

20. Lord of the Flies stuff...

Reading the whole story with how her and her friends basically tormented the boy.

Really hearkens back to some Lord of the Flies.
