CANTON, N.Y. -- The St. Lawrence County woman accused of helping her boyfriend kidnap two Amish girls studied the psychology of rape as a college student.

Nicole Vaisey was a senior psychology major at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa. in 2011 when she published research about the effects of watching pornography on attitudes toward rape.

Vaisey's hypothesis was that participants who saw sexually suggestive images would blame the victims more than those who had not.

Vaisey, 25, and Stephen M. Howells II, 39, of 1380 county Route 21 in Hermon, are both charged with two counts of first-degree kidnapping. Not guilty pleas have been entered on their behalf. More charges may be filed, according to the prosecutor.

St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain has said the girls, ages 7 and 12, were sexually assaulted during their 24 hours in captivity.

Vaisey and Howells are accused of kidnapping the girls from a roadside vegetable stand and taking them to their home, about 16 miles away, in rural northern New York.

Amen to the observation that psychiatrists are mentally damaged themselves. It is dangerous to trust them.

There are those who should get cranial lead implant, and then there are these two....this is in the sufficiently heinous category as to warrant burning. In the alternative we could douse them with hydroflouric acid.

I wonder if she marched on campus carrying signs decrying the “rape culture.”

Yes, they can find that out about a college paper and are clueless about Obama.

They can find details about the family of the policeman who shot the thug cigar thief but know nothing about the thug’s gang history or his juvenile felonies.

The media are as guilty as the Muslim in the White House and the racist in the InJustice Department.

He raped an 8 year old. And thanks to Anthony Kennedy, he cannot be executed for it.

He will be when he enters prison. Count on it.
