Calvin D. Poston, the 17-year-old boy charged in the rape, robbery and murder of a 61-year-old mentally challenged woman made a brief appearance Wednesday in Lake Criminal Court.

Carolyn Rimpson's body was found Sept. 29, 2015, in tall grass and weeds outside an abandoned home in the 400 block of Broadway, according to police.

Poston, then 15, was interviewed by police after the woman's body was discovered, but he was not charged at that time, according to juvenile court records.

Poston agreed to conduct a second interview with police in January, records state, and allegedly admitted then that he raped, robbed and murdered Rimpson on Sept. 23, 2015.

Poston also allegedly admitted he assaulted and attempted to rape a second woman Nov. 29 at his Gary home, for which he also faces charges, records state.

A juvenile court judge ruled July 7 Poston should stand trial as an adult on charges of murder, felony murder, robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, rape and criminal confinement.

A Gary man pleaded guilty in the robbery, rape and homicide of a mentally disabled woman in September 2015, when he was 15 years old.

Calvin Poston, 20, was charged in the homicide of Carolyn Rimpson, 61, in September 2015 and a separate attack on a "female endangered adult" Nov. 29, 2016, in Gary.

She had been reported missing Sept. 24, 2015, after she arrived home on a church bus. She was last seen walking down her street talking on her cellphone, police said.

Rimpson was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, according to Poston's plea agreement.
Her brother told The Times in 2015 she was a good person who went to work every day, went bowling on Mondays and attended church Wednesdays.

When investigators pinged Rimpson's cellphone Sept. 29, it led them to Poston's home in the 4300 block of Pennsylvania Street, court records state.

Poston claimed he had found the phone and took police to the 4000 block of Broadway, where Rimpson's body was found in tall weeds and grass outside an abandoned home.

According to the plea agreement, Poston pushed her down and caused her to fall on railroad tracks during a struggle for her cellphone.

He pulled her into an alley, where he kicked and choked her and took her cellphone and $7, records state.

As a result of the attack, Rimpson suffered bruising over her right chest wall, skull fractures, a spinal injury, fractures to her eyes and jaw, internal injuries and lacerations to both lungs, documents state.

Poston pleaded guilty to robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, a level 2 felony, and criminal confinement, a level 3 felony.

Poston agreed to a 30-year sentence on the robbery count and a 10-year sentence on the criminal confinement charge. The sentences are to be served consecutively.

Poston would be required to serve at least 75% of his sentence with credit for good time, according to his plea agreement.

In exchange for his pleas, Lake County prosecutors agreed to dismiss all remaining counts linked to Rimpson's homicide and charges in the separate case.
The nephew of a 61-year-old Gary woman found beaten to death more than four years ago hoped her killer would never forget the pain he caused her family.

Sishman Rimpson, Carolyn Rimpson's nephew, said he tried to understand how someone could carry out a crime as evil as Poston's.

"I wanted to see the darkness around him," Sishman Rimpson said.
But, when he looked at Poston's mother, he saw a decent person.

"I hope and pray that God can get a hold of you somehow," he told Poston.
Poston said he was "reaping the repercussions" of his bad decisions.

"I made mistakes. I hate that this happened," he said. "In my soul, I'm sorry."

He said he hopes he can become a better person after his release from prison.
Though he didn't admit in his plea agreement to raping or killing her, it could be reasonably assumed he also committed those crimes, Judge Cappas said.

"You are in need of some serious rehabilitation," the judge said.

Curosh, LaTulip and Lake County Supervisory Deputy Prosecutor Michelle Jatkiewicz asked Cappas to accept the plea agreement and sentence Poston according to it terms.

Cappas agreed, sentencing Poston to consecutive terms of 30 years and 10 years in prison for robbery resulting in serious bodily injury and criminal confinement, respectively.
He gave Poston credit for more than four years already served in jail, plus good time. Poston must serve at least 75% of his sentence.
