Police in southern California believe Barth may have traveled all over the state with the girl who was raped every day for the duration of her torment. From Ventura County Star:
Authorities today released new details about the arrest of a man suspected of keeping a 13-year-old girl as a sex slave near Moorpark.
Shawn Damon Barth, 46, was arrested Monday morning when Ventura County sheriff’s deputies, who were watching him, stopped his pickup truck in the Ventura area, said Detective Eric Buschow.
Authorities suspect Barth raped the girl daily for the past three months in a motor home parked in an orchard near the 4000 block of Hitch Boulevard west of Moorpark, Buschow said at a press conference at the Sheriff Department’s Thousand Oaks station.
The suspect was scheduled to be arraigned in Ventura County court this afternoon on charges of child rape, oral copulation on a child and continuous sexual abuse. He was being held in Ventura County Jail today in lieu of $1 million bail.
Barth allegedly kept the girl isolated in the motor home, parked more than a mile from the road, except when he allowed her to go to school, authorities said.
Read the rest. Authorities don’t know why the girl, who was never reported missing by her mother, was with Barth who was in fact accused of abusing her before. Barth is the mother’s ex-boyfriend but as of now she and another woman are being treated as witnesses not suspects.
There’s a video report with more information:
Barth is an filthy degenerate who deserves to die.
Rob Taylor,
Shawn Damon Barth is sick. I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison! Lock him up and throw away the key.
And if the mother didn’t report her kid missing, she’s just as sick.
Makes you wonder what the mother got out of this. Vile people all around! The laws just aren’t harsh enough. They just don’t care. It’s late and I’m really tempted to say what I’d do if I were in their location, so I better go before my mouth gets me in trouble.
