Iraq Veteran Kirk Coleman Raped His Baby
July 18, 2008 by impqueen
UPDATE 7/18/08 – In an obvious attempt at a bad joke, Kirk Coleman was sentenced to 40 to 60 months in prison after taking a plea deal with prosecutors. Instead of the original first-degree criminal sexual conduct and child abuse charge, he was found guilty of attempted child abuse. Thanks, Circuit Court Judge John McBain and Henry C. Zavislak! You did a great job and I am sure Michigan thanks you for sending out such a strong message to future baby rapers!
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Jackson, MI (Feb. 20, 2008) – Kirk Coleman, 27, is an ex-Army paratrooper who served two tours in Iraq, but a hero isn’t all he is. On Tuesday, Coleman was ordered to stand trial on charges that he raped and nearly killed his three-month-old baby girl. The attack happened last September at their home in Blackman Township. The baby’s mother, Ashley Rogers, was away from the apartment at the time.
The baby girl was brutally beaten and raped. She had seventeen broken bones and a traumatic brain injury resulting in a brain bleed. The baby nearly died before she was stabilized at the University of Michigan Hospital, and she is still in therapy for brain damage and her other injuries. One doctor said, “I have seen a child in a 100 mph accident sustain less injury.”
Coleman told police that he was really drunk and was taking a lot of painkillers, which made him black out. When he woke up, he said, he “discovered bruises on the girl in her crib”. Riiight.I understand post-traumatic stress disorder and I think it’s undertreated in our armed forces. I also understand addiction and blackouts. But what I don’t understand is how a person could beat the holy hell out of an infant, rip her open with his penis, and then tell police that he “discovered bruises” on her later.
Do I think he was impaired? Oh yeah. Do I think he was enraged and short on coping mechanisms after returning from Iraq? Absolutely. But many of us have family members who have done one, two, even three tours in this war, and the vast majority of these guys do not come home and rape their twelve-week-old babies. In fact, I’d hazard a bet that Coleman is in a party of one. Seeing horrible things does not automatically make someone commit horrible things.
I think Coleman got pissed at a crying baby. He was drunk, high, and no doubt exhausted. Had he shaken the baby, people would get mad, but they might be able to understand it a little bit. But the evil that this guy did pretty much goes beyond any defense or explanation.
The baby is now living with her grandmother while undergoing continued therapy. Ashley Rogers recently was allowed by a judge to see her daughter at Rogers’ mother’s home for a few hours each week.
Kirk Coleman is charged with first degree child abuse and first degree criminal sexual conduct, which could earn him life in prison.
UPDATE 7/18/08 – Except it didn’t. In a plea deal which is making my head hurt, Kirk Coleman is gonna walk out with a 40-60 month sentence for - get this – ATTEMPTED CHILD ABUSE.  Um, seriously? REALLY? Because what happened to that baby looks a hell of a lot like COMPLETED CHILD ABUSE to me. ~ imp

I don’t see any reason to grant him exhaustion. Drunk, high, and angry about covers what happened. Three things not to be around a baby. Poor little kid.
10:12 am on February 20th, 2008
That’s just so sick. WTH???? There’s just no way to even come close to justifying this creep. He could have hired a hooker if he was that desperate for some “lovin”, so apparently he had his sights on hurting that baby in more ways than one.
10:35 am on February 20th, 2008
How sick and twisted do you have to be to even get a hard-on to rape a 12 week old baby? Maybe he will pull a Charles Lewis and do us all a favor while he is out on bond.
10:56 am on February 20th, 2008
There is no defense for this. He went above and beyond. If any jury accepts any excuse for this behavior and goes easy on him, I will have officially given up on society.
11:19 am on February 20th, 2008
You know, I just dont get it. When I see a baby, I want to hold it, snuggle it up, kiss it and nibble it’s little toes. I dont know what the hell kind of sick freak thinks, hmmmm, I’d like get me some of that! ewwwww. There is nothing any one could say that would justify raping a baby! It’s just 31 flavors of wrong.
11:21 am on February 20th, 2008
Agreed on both. While I appreciate what our guys to protect us and our freedoms – its BULLSHIT to think it was the drugs or the post traumatic stress. He evidently had something in his brain somewhere, way before hand, that caused this sick behavior. Maybe he always had these sick desires and could not figure how to get by with it – now he’s on prescribed drugs and suffering from post traumatic stress caused by serving his country – they’ll have to let me go. BULLSHIT.
12:12 pm on February 20th, 2008
I can smell his shitty defense arguments all the way up in Canada…
PTS my ASS…
wonder why Mommy gets so little visitation…
more to this story perhaps?
12:16 pm on February 20th, 2008
His Post Tramatic Stress is nothing compared to that baby’s PTSS. I don’t care how many horrendous things he saw back in Iraq or had to do back there. There is no excuse. It really makes you wonder if he did something like this back there. If he’d do it to his own daughter, why not do it to another child thousands miles away in another country.
12:43 pm on February 20th, 2008
I hear ya PMS… I bet he prob thought being overseas was an “opportunity”… wouldn’t be the first time…

2:37 pm on February 20th, 2008
I am totally disgusted. There is no excuse to do what he did. I hope he goes away for life. What do you want to bet the mother and family have already forgiven him? Bah…
3:18 pm on February 20th, 2008
You are probably right. But what’s up with the mom that she only gets to visit the baby a few hours a week? I mean this was the baby’s dad – what if she was at work? Since there was not any mention of old injuries – why is she being kept away? I may jump on bashing the mom, later – but if she ran to get groceries or went to work, she is not a mind-reader. Do they have some sort of evidence that she knew of any abuse or that he was a threat? Or could this be just to protect the baby until the entire investigation is complete? Are they saying if you take prescription meds that you shouldn’t be alone with your child? I’m not arguing for the mom, just trying to understand how they determined that she shouldn’t be around the baby, too.
I just know that, if someone had ever hurt my child, that I would have not had any prior knowledge and I would not be responsible for what my husband/babydaddy did, if there had not been any type of previous indicators. I would have to be with my child to hold and comfort them.
The person the cops would be protecting from me would be whoever harmed my child. Not protecting my child from me. I know many mothers could have prevented their child’s injuries or death. I’m just saying what if there are no indicators and it happens when you have to buy groceries or go to work? Why would you have to stay away from your kid? Obviously, they would need to be with someone they knew and loved – some sort of security. Surely, there has to be some sort of evidence against the mom, too.

I am a vet of the war in Iraq, and I have PTSD, I also have a 6 month old daughter…Never once thought of anything but loving my daughter in a caring, loving way.
This freak here, well, he is definately an arguement FOR the death peanlty. If they are afraid to do it to him, I am sure there will be a lot of volunteers to take care of him.
It is the responsibility of the strong to defend the weak. It is the responsibility of a parent to care for their child. No questions, no friggin excuses.
4:58 pm on February 20th, 2008
Very well, said. I have always said to my son you don’t feed on the weak you protect them. Your line is better.
Oh and THANK YOU, sincerely, for serving your country and for protecting me and my freedoms. I do appreciate your service. God bless and keep you.

Welcome to the site, also JEDIPIMP

You know you hit the big time when a JediPimp signs on.

We’re UPTOWN now, Baby. lol.
6:40 pm on February 20th, 2008
Welcome, JediPimp. All we need now is a ScruffyNerfherder and i will never ever leave this place.
6:42 pm on February 20th, 2008
Omg…I didn’t think it could get worse than stomping your 3 month old. This is fucking insane! What is wrong with these people?
9:22 pm on February 20th, 2008
I think we can see that this guy thinks of his penis as a weapon. You beat, burn, shoot, whatever, and then you finish it off by sticking your dick in an orifice.
10:19 pm on February 20th, 2008
I think he needs his dick ripped off and stuffed down his throat, anything less just isn’t enough. This just makes me sick to my stomach.
10:30 pm on February 20th, 2008
You are my hero
10:40 pm on February 20th, 2008
Down his throat via his nosehole.
12:13 am on February 21st, 2008
One doctor said, “I have seen a child in a 100 mph accident sustain less injury.â€
This story made me sick, that anybody can something like this to a child, to thier own child. The doctor’s words really shook me up because I can’t even begin to imagine the extent of the pain and suffering that this poor girl has been put through. This brought to mind the Chia-Durron (sp?) case where the POS raped an infant because he was mad at her mother and caused the girl to be paralyzed (for which I thought that they should someday rip the fucker’s spine out and give it to the poor girl so that she could maybe walk again someday). I don’t know what will happen to this girl if she will be permanently brain damaged but I’ll pray for her recovery and for a life of normalcy for her although I’m probably asking for the impossible. How can one ever recover mentally or physically from abuse as horrendous as this?
As for the “father” I agree rip his dick off and use it as a weapon against him every way possible. Put him through the same torture he put his daughter through tenfold.
12:23 pm on February 21st, 2008
Chopsticks in the eyes buddy boy…numerous chopsticks.
And dick ripped off, yep, slowly with a chain attached to a winch.
Poor baby girl.
12:50 pm on February 21st, 2008
This makes me sick. That poor baby. And I feel awful for the mom, how terrible to have someone you thought you could trust hurt your child like this.
2:19 pm on February 21st, 2008
I remember reading about this when it first happened a while back. That poor little baby! This sick prick deserves to get death, but ofcourse not until after some good old fashioned prison justice has been meted out on his ass.
5:56 pm on February 21st, 2008
Yeah, state funded prison justice is what this guy needs…. A few “alone” moments in the general population should take care of the problem altogether….
10:35 pm on February 21st, 2008
I found some more info about this story on this site:
http://southernsassoncrime.com/?p=1030
“Baby B, as most folks with a sense of decency refer to her ( that does not include any employees of the Citizen Patriot ) had been raped and brutally beaten, sustaining 17 broken bones and permanent brain damage, allegedly at the hands of her then 27 year old father, Kirk Coleman, of Jackson, Mi” (I guess this answered my question about whether her brain damage was permanent, poor baby)
“He remains free on bond. ( posted by the parental units )”
“Kirk was an Army soldier, serving two tours in Iraq…oh , wait..make that one tour and part of another. He never saw combat, he had a cushy desk job. Children going to school in America today have a better chance of being diagnosed with bona fide PTSD than a soldier doing Kirks job in Iraq. The Mama’s boy just couldn’t walk the walk. Period.” ( I find it disgusting that he’s going to try to use the PTSD excuse for this horrible act. He destroyed his child’s life. He is the one who deserves to be brutally beaten and raped and I hope he gets it in prison. )
“Hurst (the defense attorney) has argued that Coleman never admitted to assaulting the girl, and that, at most, Coleman should be tried for second-degree child abuse. The reason, he said, was that Coleman blacked out on rum and painkillers every day and would awaken to find the baby bruised.” (does this mean that the baby was abused more times beyond this one incident?)
“I think it’s important to note that Ashley Rogers, Baby B’s mother lost custody shortly after Baby B was brought to U of M. She has been trying to regain custody and has been allowed visitation. People have wondered how a mom can lose custody that fast when it’s the father being charged. Ashley has admitted to depression, and excessive drinking/pill popping with Kirk. She also admits to drinking and smoking during pregnancy and as of yet, has not given up any of these habits…she just doesn’t do it excessively.”

Poor baby.
To have been blessed with such worthless parents.
3:45 pm on February 22nd, 2008
I have to agree.
9:00 am on March 4th, 2008
Kirk ‘Beam me up Scotty’ Coleman – doing his bit to keep America strong. The Vietnam veterans were cruelly labelled with the ‘baby killer’ tag, but jesus christ, ‘baby fuckers’ are not what the Iraq war is sending home, unless you were ‘inclined to unwind’ (mentally) long before your tour. Perhaps jumping out of planes 15,000 ft above bone-mashing dirt and praying the silk is packed right makes you ga-ga. It did to me (laughing maniaclly).
9:11 am on March 11th, 2008
Baby-fuckers.
WTF? I just can’t wrap my head around it.
Words that just should never be.
7:37 pm on March 15th, 2008
i have been following this case for a while, hoping to hear frankly that he was killed by a vigilante while walking around since a judge gave him 100K bail and his loving parents gladly put it up for him…the baby was raped and hurt over a 3 day period; at least this was the original estimation of her physicians. Mom had just started back on her job working nights so she didn’t notice anything significantly amiss until the morning after the baby’s 3rd night of time spent alone with Dad. She was finally refusing food and difficult to soothe. Dad refused to let Mom take her to the ER alone, and then acted in a very suspicious manner while there apparently. The doctors XRAYED baby and imagine their horror, not to mention when they located the sexual abuse.
The state yanked the rights of both parents on the spot until they finished their investigation. Mom is a first time parent, but tough to imagine how she missed the injuries….then again he never left her alone with the child after he had already injured her….granted I am a little soft when it comes to this stuff, but it is clear the Dad has anger issues and I can imagine that they might not have stopped at the baby…
5:41 pm on July 18th, 2008
Morbid, thanks for updating this for me. I’m outraged. I’m so pissed off that I can’t even think straight. What the HELL was Judge McBain thinking?
Elected offices, folks. That’s what you get when you put molester-friendly bastards on the bench and in your prosecutor’s office.
5:46 pm on July 18th, 2008
Ready to give up? I am.
5:57 pm on July 18th, 2008
40-60 Months????!!!!! You have to be kidding, please say you’re kidding?? Ok, Denziens it’s up to us. Anyone want to come with me when he gets out, i’ll show him some justice, but hopefully the inmates may save us the trouble. Here’s hoping……….
6:04 pm on July 18th, 2008
There wasn’t even a jury since it was a plea deal. And what’s worse? Judge McBain actually EXCEEDED the sentencing guidelines for attempted child abuse – the cap was supposed to be 40 months, but McBain apparently felt that five years was better than three. Oh, well that just fixes everything.. NOT.
And now Coleman’s defense says he’s gonna appeal because the sentence given was above the maximum allowable for the charge. Wha-wha-WHAT?
Yeah. I’m really, really not happy with this ending.
6:58 pm on July 18th, 2008
Yikes. I guess I stopped reading after I saw 40 to 60 months from being in shock. I at least am ready to give up on the system then. Or I may have done that already.
7:12 pm on July 18th, 2008
I am absolutely disgusted with the way our judicial system is working. Justice is blind and apparently brain dead as well.
What about what happened to the little girl? How is that going to affect her for the rest of her life? I dare say that she will bear physical and emotional scars as long as she lives.
Kirk Coleman who brutally raped and nearly killed his three-month-old baby girl should have been sentenced to death.
8:11 pm on July 18th, 2008
From your lips to Gods ears
9:31 pm on July 18th, 2008
If she had been murdered would they have charged him with ATTEMPTED murder?
Insane.. the judges are insane.
10:33 pm on July 18th, 2008
I am really offended at this sentence, which amounts to a tap on the hand. As for Circuit Court Judge John McBain and the prosecutor’s office…. YOU SUCK!
11:59 pm on July 18th, 2008
40-60 months?!? That’s bullshit!
Now, his lawyer is going to appeal the sentence?!? Again, bullshit! As far as I’m concerned, this baby raper got off easy with only having to serve up to 60 months.
1:11 am on July 19th, 2008
I’m stunned. How could a prosecutor be so incompetent. No, seriously, this is what we have prosecutors for. Armed robbery and DUI suddenly seems so silly.
Remember the SCOTUS saying that the death penalty was inappropriate for child rapists? Does that sound reasonable to anyone?
/Excuse me, I need a drink.
2:18 am on July 19th, 2008
How about 40-60 months and no more Mr.Winky.
I’ll let you in on a secret, I know how to castrate pigs. Did you know that pigs and men are almost the same anatomically in that area? Yeppers.
I kin cut’em out before you can say “Bob’s your Uncle” – Mind you the straight razor has to be sharp.
If that razor isn’t sharp, owie-wowie it will hurt.
Do I have a volunteer to hold his legs?
10:13 am on July 19th, 2008
I dont think I’ve ever been more upset and outraged over sentencing. This is seriously a true WTF moment! I feel like the DA and judge are both guilty of raping this baby all over again with this tap on the wrist!
When I read this last night, I was stunned.. horrified.. I mean OMG! I have went to pieces over this one so badly my husand finally told me, hun, you might need to take a break from that site for a while.. Between crying over the poor little Caylee story, and then venting in a rage over this…
What the fuck is wrong with people??
Attempted child abuse… are you fucking kidding me??!
10:42 am on July 19th, 2008
Well, for those of us wondering WTF, here’s some answers. Not good answers, but answers.
Oh, and if it helps, the POS said he’s sorry.
http://blog.mlive.com/citpat/2008/07/dad_gets_prison_for_abuse.html
“He initially was charged with first-degree child abuse and first-degree criminal sexual conduct and was facing a possible life sentence.
Prosecutors later agreed to a plea deal, saying they feared an acquittal would allow Coleman partial custody of his daughter, who is now 13 months old.
Conflicting opinions of medical experts cast doubt on whether the baby was sexually assaulted, Assistant Prosecutor Allison Bates said at the sentencing.
There also were questions raised about whether Coleman was the sole perpetrator.
Hurst implicated Coleman’s wife, Ashley Rogers, who has filed for divorce, which is pending.”
Also:
“Rogers’ mother, Deborah Rogers, has custody of the baby; the girl lives with both her mother and grandmother in North Carolina and receives almost daily therapy as she is suffering “severe psychological disabilities,” Bates said.”
11:35 am on July 19th, 2008
Well, dammit… Why had that not been reported before… Of course that makes all the difference in the world.. He’s sorry.. He’s fucking sorry. Geez, of course that changed every fucking thing… I just hadn’t realised he felt bad… Now I feel much better than he got a light sentence since he’s sorry…
**Dripping fucking sarcasm**
3:46 pm on July 19th, 2008
I am so ready…
to do this job with you Gilbrit. I am all ready rusting-up the blade. This POS, MF should die. Simple as that…I hate your rancid, demonic soul Kirk Coleman.
3:55 pm on July 19th, 2008
HARD CANDY comes to mind- I friggin dug that movie.
