Baby sitters accused of taping sex with children

Mar 14, 4:13 AM (ET)

VEEDERSBURG, Ind. (AP) - A couple who ran a baby-sitting service out of their home videotaped themselves performing sex acts with children, some as young as 2 months old, police said Friday.

Stephen E. Quick, 31, and Samantha Light, 25, both of Veedersburg in western Indiana, were being held on $100,000 bond in Fountain County Jail. Both faced preliminary charges of child molestation and child exploitation. Jail staff did not know whether either one had an attorney.

Police who searched the couple's home found a videotape depicting sex acts involving Quick and Light and at least four different children between the ages of 2 months and 6 years old, said Fountain County Sheriff's Deputy Bob Kemp.

"In 15 years of doing this job, it's the worst thing I've ever seen or imagined," he told WRTV. "Just horrible, just horrible It's a new low."

Police searched the couple's home after the parents of a 3-year-old girl reported that she told them Quick and Light had touched her inappropriately and photographed her at their home on Feb. 28.

Deputies seized several computers, cameras, a video camera, pornographic materials, drugs and drug paraphernalia. Several sex toys that appeared in the video were seized during a second search, police said.

Quick and Light were arrested March 5. Neither has a criminal history.

Authorities have removed the couple's daughter from their home.

This raises all kinds of hard questions, such as do we drop them hard enough to snap their necks, or do we let them dance for awhile?

I'm pretty sure just hanging them in a cage for a few weeks/months publicly (no food or water) would do wonders...like in the dark ages.

Is there no-one that can be trusted these days ?

Not since Fred Rogers died.

I dont think its ever been safer to trust people, than it is today.

Its just the law of numbers: Theres never been more people than today. Theres never been better newscoverage (quantity wise, at least).

So for something bad to happen somewhere - and for you to notice - its never been more likely.

Even if people overall are 10 times as good, caring, lawfull or like - theres 100 times as many people and 1000 times as good coverage as a 100 years ago.

BUT: You will most likely be better of giving your youngsters in care today than a 100 years ago.

Its just the numbers. Scary numbers. Wooohoooo.

Just because there are more people doesn't mean it won't stop the bad ones from still doing bad things. Fear of getting caught hasn't ever been a real deterrent for people who commit crimes like that.

Wulfman: No, cant say I have. But its an interesting subject.

Rylan: What I meant was; if 1/10 person is bad, increasing the general population by a factor of 100 also increases the amount of bad persons by a factor of 100.

Most foul deeds go unobserved in the population at large. I dont get to hear about someone stealing a bike in Utah.

But as the newscoverage increase, i DO get to hear about a murder in Utah, at least if its spicy, juicy or moist (journalism being what it is).

So more people to commit foul deeds and better coverage means I get to hear of an increasing number of foul deeds.

But this does not correlate to my actual risk of meeting a foul deed myself.
