Cops: 10-Year-Old Iowa Girl Abducted by Sex Offender
Friday, March 25, 2005

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A statewide Amber Alert was issued after a 10-year-old mentally disabled Cedar Rapids girl was abducted from her home by a registered sex offender.

Jetseta Marrie Gage, who is mentally challenged, was taken from her home by Roger P. Bentley (search), who was convicted in 1994 of child molestation. Police also described him as a family acquaintance.
Anyone who might have information leading to Gage's whereabouts was asked to call Cedar Rapids Police at 319-286-5491.

Bentley apparently took Gage at about 8:15 p.m. Thursday night in a black and silver pickup truck. Gage's 7-year-old brother witnessed the abduction, police said.
"The grandmother and children were there. The grandmother was looking out for them and that the acquaintance took the 10-year-old without permission," Cedar Rapids police Lt. Kelly Fitzpatrick said Friday.
Police don't know why Bentley took the child or where they may be headed, he said.

"Believe me, we've been hitting a lot of leads to try and find her," Fitzpatrick said.
He said investigators were still trying to determine how Bentley took the child.
The grandmother was in the house "but not there to prevent the 10-year-old from disappearing, no," he said.

The search for the little girl comes a month after a missing Florida girl first drew national attention. The body of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford (search) was found Sunday; John Couey, a convicted sex offender, has been charged with her murder.

Gage is white, 4-feet-6-inches tall and 90 pounds. She has brown, wavy, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She was wearing an orange coat and purple pants.
Bentley is white, 6-feet-1-inches tall and 265 pounds, with blond hair, hazel eyes and a tattoo on his right shoulder. He was wearing a flannel shirt.
The pickup truck is a black and silver 1982 Datsun king cab with a silver topper with Iowa license 392MIZ.

Point taken.

This is getting ridiculous. I'm all for rehabilitation but these guys just seem to be beyond help. If someone ever lays a hand on either of my daughters I will spill their blood myself.

The news just said that they had the guy in Custody. They had found him in Johnson County(Iowa City), his truck somewhere, but no sign of the girl yet.

They should take some pliers to his nuts until he spills the beans.

I'm all for a person's rights, but in cases where children are hurt, I don't even understand why we need to spend any time on them at all. Just torture them, then kill them.

Like this guy in Florida. He confessed. He led them to the body. That should be the end of it.

I know that you have to have avenues of appeal and all that if they say they are innocent, but if the guy confesses, why wait? Just wheel the chair into the courtroom and take care of it right then.
