I took a look at the national sexual offenders registry. i found Mr. Richardson, but no sign of Mr. Dixon. I checked the Va Court Cases website and wouldn’t ya know…his sentence apparently isn’t final? I also noticed it took 4 months to even charge him, will all the video and photographic evidence. Mr. Richardsons’ projected release date is less than a year from now, 9/12/2012. I wonder when this guy will be out on the streets. Both men should have their genitals legally considered illegal substances. It seems illegal substances are one of the few things you actually get some time for in Powhatan.
                     
Wow….Can we get an update Mr. Copley? Thanks in advance. I personally appreciate all the information you have provided, no one else is informing the public.

I happen to know this man.  He dated me when he was almost 30 and I was only 17 years old.  He left me with a baby and never raised a finger to help her, never gave a penny of his money. I always wondered what happened to him, but imagine my surprise seeing this article!  He was a creep back then dating a girl my age, this this is beyond words.  I read Lucy’s comment and some other comments, and I agree that girls are dressing older than they really are, and sometimes I feel like the guys are kind of victims because just for a few years difference in age and sometimes pay when the young girl is just as guilty in a way.  But for a 52 year old man who does this to anyone under 18, when he has 2 daughters he abandoned who are over 20, it is just terrible. He is a sick, violent, creep and I am glad to see him get this sentence for what he did.  He deserved this years ago!

I’m angry that the court date was continued to May 30th.. It’s clear they have enough against him, AND he’s pleading guilty. So why all the delays?  I really don’t like the way the system works..

My intention was not to offend her parents, not in the least. I am grateful to hear she is undergoing counseling and i truly wish and pray the best for her. What I said in regards to her parents stem from information the young lady herslef divulged to me. Both girls are and will remain forever in my thoughts and prayers.

OH LUCY,Which one of these sick pieces of crap is your man, well it don’t matter now, because they are BUBBA’S girls now, ya’ think they’ll be held accountable for what bubba’s gonna do to them????

It’s funny how its assumed the children’s parents are at fault.

The mom and/or dad of the second minor were very good parents, but the daughter was troubled. They were fooled by the man who assaulted her, and had no idea what was even going on. The child was troubled, the man was a pig, and that’s that.

There is a lot of counelling going on as well.

It’s such a farce that she, at 16, could be considered to have given “consent” to a 38 and 52 year old man. Really? This girl came from a disastrous home life, had been in counseling for at least 2 solid years. When this man, and I use the term man loosely, made her feel she was loved, of course she went for it! Why wouldn’t she? He made her think they were going to have a life together, children, the works! My money says he’s still making her believe it. Her parents were not parents. Had they been, she wouldn’t have ended up in this mess to begin with. But hey, she wanted it, right? She asked for it, right? None of this is taken into consideration in regards to the laws of rape, so “indecent liberties” as it is charged is the best that can be done. Both of these men essentially were told “it’s ok to have sex with a 16 year old girl as long as you can make her believe you love her and she says ok”. Let’s not forget that this leaves one girl to stand alone in this. To have to recount the events in graphic detail against her father and a man she had come to trust. And the worst thing is there is nothing anyone can do about it. No one will take a stand and say this is wrong and unjust. Neither of these girls’ stand a chance now. The damage has been done and there is nothing anyone can ever do to repair it. Counseling, medication, all the tricks in the book will not make them forget, of this I am certain.

The second minor told investigators that sexual intercourse, in her case, was consensual.

The second defendant is scheduled for trial tomorrow morning.

When will the second victim get her justice? No word on the court dates for the charges for the pigs raping of her she deserves justice and a sense of closure as well!

Nice.  I’ll bet ya this guy is from Powhatan.  Say.  Where is all the Juvenile support Beasley says his office has and just asked the board for more?  How can you people below claim to know this girl and 20 social workers and Wendy McCellan are evidently clueless.  Obviously the jurors might of had a clue on this themselves.  How long was this case on the docket?  This case teetered down to basically the Virginia statute stating no” consent due to impairment”.  Another fine day in Powhatan.
