Lost In Lima Ohio - A true crime blog

Lino Donato, previous post here , has been voted out of his job as Mayor of Poteet. Not by the people of Poteet, but by the city counsel. I have to admit, I was confused about this at first. Every story I came across seemed to refer to Donato being released from jail on bail last week, but that couldn't be right, because I first posted about him in 2006. And then it hit me. He'd been charged yet again. Earlier Monday afternoon, Donato was released on $200,000 bond after he was arrested last week for the second time in two years on child sex charges. He did not attend the council meeting nor could he be reached by phone or at his place of business. The most recent indictments allege that on Aug. 15, 2007, Donato touched a girl younger than 14 on her genitals and breasts, resulting in a first-degree felony charge of aggravated sexual assault and a second-degree felony charge of indecency with a child by contact, respectively. Donato's also accused of kissing the gir...

Kelsey Peterson, a recent case of teacher going above and beyond in her duty to instill knowledge in her students (in this case, carnal knowledge) has been sentenced to six years for the sexual relationship she had with a 13 year old student. Some might recall that Peterson showed an incredible lack of intelligence when the investigation into the then alleged crimes began by taking the boy on a ' let's flee to Mexico ' trip. The two disappeared in October after the district's superintendent confronted Peterson with allegations of inappropriate conduct with the boy. She was arrested a week later in Mexicali, Mexico, after the boy made a cell phone call to his family. Peterson was arrested by Mexican authorities and transported back to Nebraska. "I want to move on with my life and make it better," Peterson said Monday in court. "I'm here to take responsibility for what I did." Not buying that. She's there only because she is being forced to...

Police are investigating a woman after the bodies of two young little girls she had adopted were found in a freezer. Calvert County authorities said they found them Saturday as they were investigating a report of an injured child. A woman who said the girls were her adopted daughters has been arrested, according to The Washington Post. Renee Bowman, 43, told deputies that the remains had been frozen since at least February. A third girl was found after escaping the home and reported that she had been beat with a shoe, leading police to investigate the mother. More...

Really hard to pick a title for this one, it was a toss up between current title and "Mental Illness Can Be Hereditary". Honestly folks, if the school nurse shows up on your door step because there is concern for the mental state of your children, and you want to reassure them that your kid is not a nutcase- you might want to remember that *most* people take note of the old saying "apple doesn't fall far from the tree". School spokesperson Ebony Pugh said a nurse and a social worker were assaulted by the parents of a Brashear High School student when they went to take the girl home. The employees decided to take freshman Maria Malloy home, along with her sister, because they had concerns that Maria was acting erratically. According to family members, once there was talk that the student may have some type of mental illness, the mother of the student attacked the school workers. The family, holding tight to the notion that there's no mental illness ru...

Trench at Bad Breeders has the case of Alicia Lee , likely finalist for this weeks Worst Mother award. She's accused of sexually abusing her 2 year old son, and then bragging about it in emails. She included photos of the abuse to heighten her excitement I suppose. *Warning, wait 30 minutes after eating before viewing link above.

If I was lazy, I'd just sum up Peter Frances Milosavjevic and his deviant behavior by saying that he was a filthy piece of worthless trash that didn't deserve to live, and barely was worth the effort it would take to actually get the state kill him. Milosavjevic is accused of luring at least 11 mentally handicapped women into his home on the pretense of providing them shelter in exchange for light housekeeping/cooking duties. Victims and police have testified that once inside the home, the women were subject to brutal sexual and physical abuse. For more than an hour Wednesday afternoon, defense attorney Chris Jensen quizzed his client about the women the prosecution alleges he raped, sodomized and forced to stay in his home for weeks and -- on a couple of occasions -- months. One of his alleged victims testified that she stayed with the defendant on two separate occasions in 2005, and that Milosavjevic routinely tied her up, raped, sodomized and sexually assaulted her with...
