Ohio man beaten, raped after peering into child's bedroom
AUGUST 18--An apparent peeping Tom was sexually assaulted with a tree branch after being discovered peering into the bedroom window of a five-year-old Ohio girl. Mario Russo, 44, was viciously beaten by a group of six attackers, including the child's mother, 28-year-old Stacy Umstott (pictured below in the large mug shot from North Royalton Police Department). Along with a 15-year-old girl who was not identified, the other assailants nabbed were--left to right in the smaller booking photos--stripper Athena Lemieux, the girl's 20-year-old aunt; Nicholas Phipps, 21; Brandon Breedon, 21; and Khalid Arafat, 34. According to a harrowing police report, officers found Russo covered in blood and crumpled on the grass outside the apartment building where the assailants were arrested last Saturday. With his pants at his ankles and his face swollen, Russo was found with "a twig inserted into his rectum and there was false teeth laying in the grass next to the male," according to cops. A witness told investigators that he heard a female attacker yelling, "put it in his ass, he wants it in his ass." The attackers have been charged with assaulting and raping Russo, who is in fair condition in the intensive care unit of Cleveland's MetroHealth Medical Center.
