NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio -- An alleged peeping Tom is in the intensive care unit after reportedly being assaulted with a tree branch, NewsChannel5 reported.
Officials said Mario Russo, 44, was attacked after he was spotted outside a bedroom window wearing his pants around his ankles and watching a 5-year-old girl who was sleeping outside the Bunker Ridge Apartments.
Russo was reportedly hiding in bushes.
Police said after he was discovered a group of six people, include the girl’s mother, aunt and their boyfriends attacked him and brutally beat him for more than an hour.
The girl's mother, Stacy Umstott, 28; her aunt, Athena Lemieux, 20; Brandon Breedon, 21; Nicholas Phipps, 21; and Khald Arafat, 34; and a 15-year-old are in police custody. They face felonious assault and rape charges. Murder charges could be filed if Russo dies.
The girl's aunt admitted to sexually assaulting Russo with a tree branch, police said.
The incident was caught on tape.
Meanwhile, police said that citizens should not take matters into their own hands
"To take matters into their own hands like they did was just way, way beyond reason," North Royalton Detective Jay Drake said.
Is someone named "John" automatically a Christian?
I thought it was a term applied to those attempting to procure a prostitute.
No, but they are either part of or decended from an Anglo-Saxon culture, or trying to fit in to one. For example, some Chinese, when they come to this country for school or business will adopt an Americanized given name so that their American contacts will not have to learn an unfamiliar sounding name.
So when I run across a Khalid (Servant) or Khald, I think Muslim even before I check the list of common Muslim names. http://www.islamicity.com/Culture/Names/default.htm or http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/ara2.html
As you probably know Arafat is one of the points visited by muslim pilgrims during the Haj to Mecca, and was one of Yassir Arafat's given names, not his surname. "At birth, his name was Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat Al Qudua Al Husseini." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasser_Arafat
So, do you have any evidence that Khald Arafat is not muslim?
LOL!. Amen, to that!
This is a place of learning--not a house for...hearing about things!
You haven't provided evidence that he IS, in fact, a Muslim. All you did was say, "well, I THINK that he's a muslim based on his name." I don't care what his name sounds like. Unless you have HARD, ACTUAL DATA that he is a Muslim, i.e. church records or a personal declaration, then we don't know either way.
Anyway, what does his religion have to do with it? Would it matter if the other four were Christians?
It would make me doubt the truth of his version of the story.
I don't know about them, but the victim has a Catholic sounding name.
"His version" doesn't matter, it was pretty much all caught on tape.
Go Bucks!!!

As an aunt of the 5 year olds, I feel that he had it coming.What did he expect would happen.You masturbate while watching a five year old sleep, and get caught, you get whatever reaction the family has. He deserved everything he got, then to die!!
