Man Accused of Molesting Children Beaten by Their Father, Police Say
NBC washington ^ | January 02, 2020 | Carissa DiMargo

Authorities in Virginia say a 61-year-old man accused of molesting two small children was attacked by the children's father when he discovered what was happening.

The father of the children was not charged in the beating.

The incident happened in the early morning hours of Dec. 29 at a home in Spotsylvania. The Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office says Mark Stanley of Burlington, North Carolina, was in the area visiting family for the holidays.

That morning, one of the family members woke early and went to check on his two children, a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old. When he opened the door to the children's bedroom, he found Stanley in the room with the children undressed from the waist down, the sheriff's office said. When the father asked what he was doing in the room, Stanley allegedly pushed him out of the room and locked the door, authorities said.

The father then forced his way back into the room and began beating Stanley, authorities said.

Spotsylvania County sheriff's deputies were called to the home and found "a chaotic scene and an older male with severe injuries to his face," they said. The injured man was later identified as Stanley.

The other man was approaching Stanley with a handgun, deputies said. They told the man to drop the gun, and he complied.

Stanley was taken to a local hospital for his injuries and was later sent to Rappahannock Regional Jail with no bond.

First being beaten by your father, then molested?

Too bad. That precise time would have been a great time for the cops to take a donut break.

That’s what the headline appears to say.

Were the children undressed - or was it Stanley? We may never know.

In a related story, a man shot an elephant in his pajamas.

According to Scott, Stanley came to Spotsylvania to visit relatives. On Dec. 29, Scott said, the father of the children, ages 2 and 3, woke up at 6:30 a.m. and went to check on them. He walked into the room and told authorities he caught Stanley nude from the waist down while molesting the children.

Please reread the article. The molester was caught with his pants down and beaten by the dad of the children.
