Young man suffers brutal attack in which "rapest" was tattooed across his forehead

He said tattoos were forcibly placed on this forehead and chest during an April 17th attack in which he was beaten with a baseball bat and left unconscious. (Right) Stetson holds back his hair to show a tattoo on his forehead in his home in Oklahoma City, May 4, 2011. The new bar code tattoo hides the word "rapest".

AP reports:

OKLAHOMA CITY— Bond was denied Friday for two men and two women accused of pinning down a man who has learning disabilities, tattooing the word "RAPEST" on his forehead and shocking his genitals with a stun gun before beating him unconscious with a baseball bat.

All four are charged with kidnapping, maiming and assault and battery in the April 17 attack on 18-year-old Stetson Johnson of Oklahoma City.

Del City Police Capt. Jody Suit has said the four defendants told authorities they were trying to punish Johnson after one of the women accused him of trying to have sex with her. Johnson, who said he is acquainted with all four suspects but has never tried to hurt any of them, denies the allegation. Suit says there's no evidence to support it.

    Took the words right out of my mouth Calvin. There is no doubt in my mind that all 5 are meth addicts, theres also no doubt that this guy some how deserved it. Of course they are meth heads, so maybe it was just a tweeker episode. Either way " a group of stellar citizens" pretty well sums up all 5.

              So now the guy has a larger tattoo on his forehead that's supposed to cover the orginal word still clearly visible in the second photo. I guess two wrongs don't make a right.

                but five wrongs makes a meth party. These five need some major help.

                  Try to show some compassion. People do dumb things all the time. The problem with certain things is that, by the time some realize how dumb it is what they are doing, it is too difficult for them to change without outside help.

                  Please do name one person you know who HASN'T done something stupid because it was a popular choice. Then let THAT person cast these kind of stones (if they actually would).

                    Doing dumb things and intentionally beating the crap out of someone along with torture are really 2 different things...these 4 should be locked up and the key tossed in the ocean!

                      Compassion? How about jail time? Lots of it! It might even get them off of the meth. Then they can get their GEDs and work on thier spelling skills.

                        Chris, Really dude? You are gonna dismiss beating someone with a bat, Then tattooing their forehead and chest, AND taking a taser to their junk as simply doing "dumb things"? You sir ...have problems. I would love to see what your saturday nights look like. Dumbass!!!

                        Show compassion?! Do you think they are all going to be respected members of society one day and laugh, "Ha! Oh man. Remember that time we beat the living hell out of our disabled friend and left him for dead, only after we tattooed his forehead and shocked his balls? Whew. Paaarrtaaay." Yea, no.

                          You hit the nail on the head. If this quartet isn't a bunch of meth heads then there is no such thing as a meth head.

                          Who in the holy F'n hell would wanna have sex with either of these gastly "Faces of Meth" poster girls? I literally just threw up in my mouth a little. And for the d-bags involved.....looks like their gonna get a little shock'n to their balls when they settle in their cells tonight. Poor kid......hate to hear that something like that happened to him. It's terrible, really. Why the hell did the media feel it was neccessary to put that he had "learning disabilities" in the article. The kid is from Oklahoma......hell, everyone there has learning disabilities.

                          Why didn't he just get it removed instead of getting a bigger one on his face? Good luck ever finding employment with that @!$%# on your face. I wonder who advised him to cover it with a stinkin' bar code. Sheesh!

                          I doubt he cares in the first place, let alone even looks for work. Why do that when he can sit on the corner and pan handle to pay for his fix.

                            Well well well look at these four useless excuses for human beings. I hope the four of them spend a long time in jail and maybe the court should have ' can't fix STUPID' tattooed across their foreheads.

                                Has anyone noticed that those no good, useless, worthless, excuses for human beings spelled rapist wrong? Looks like their the ones with learning disabilities. & no one would even want to rape the nasty looking girls. Ever heard of can't rape the willing? They look like disgusting whores.

                                  Poor guy, but why in the world would you put a bar code on your forehead? Isn't that like some bible thing about the end of days??? He obviously has a learning disability and so do those four who did it. What idiot commits a crime and then has the evidence that they did it with them? What did they think after fracturing his skull and tattooing his forehead he was just going to go home and no one would notice?? I hate stereotypes, but I am going to go with all of you on this one. They had to be on Meth.

                                    I think the punctuation in the third paragraph is a typo - instead of "after one of the women accused him of trying to have sex with her. Johnson," should be "after one of the women accused him of trying to have sex with her Johnson."

                                        This story almost left me speechless. You would have to be mentally challenged to want to rape one of those women. Something tells me they might be all related to each other. Yikes!

                                          The one on the left looks like she might have actually been really pretty if her life hadn't taken Interstate Meth to Going Nowhere.
