ALLEGED KIDNAPPER CHRISTINA REGUSTERS ASSAULTED IN PRISON


Prison sources told NBC10 that the woman charged with the kidnapping and rape of a 5-year-old girl abducted from a Philadelphia classroom has been moved to a different correctional facility for her safety.
Christina Regusters, 19, was recently transferred to the Northampton County Prison after being assaulted, according to prison sources. Regusters’ attorney, Fred Harrison, says his client was moved because this is a high-profile case. Regusters is accused of holding the 5-year-old captive inside a Cobbs Creek home in January. Investigators say there the girl was sexually assaulted before being left in the cold at an Upper Darby playground.
Regusters faces 15 charges including kidnapping, rape and involuntary deviant sexual intercourse. She is being held on $4 million bail.
According to the Philly DA website, Regusters is facing Kidnapping, Rape of A Child, Conspiracy, Aggravated Assault, Unlawful Contact with a Minor, Interference with Custody, Corruption of Minors, Concealing Whereabouts, Possession of an Instrument of Crime (PIC), Simple Assault, REAP, Indecent Assault, Unlawful Restraint, and False Imprisonment charges for kidnapping and assaulting a 5-year-old girl in January, 2013.

UPDATE:  On March 7, 2013, Christina Regusters' attorney W. Fred Harrison, Jr. argued for a  reduction in her $4 million dollar bail  -- the request that was denied.  There have been unconfirmed reports that Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams plans to convene a grand jury to investigate the abduction.

  1. I still can't believe that this woman isn't cooperating with police and giving them the name or names of the individuals also involved in the rape and kidnapping of Nailla Robinson.
