JAMES DAVENPORT JR.: HE RAPED, IMPREGNATED GIRL, 10

MR. HILLBILLY RAPIST

IF SHE told a single soul, she would be murdered. The sinister threat was directed at a 10-year-old Knoxville girl who had been raped and made pregnant by evil James Wallace Davenport Jr. It took her seven months to gather her courage and to tell what the monster had done.
DA Charme Knight said in court: "(James Wallace Davenport Jr.) told her if she did tell (about the rape) he would kill her."
Davenport confessed everything Monday--and admitted he would have killed her, the fetus and her family. The sicko even solicited a hitman--of course, as usual, in reality an undercover cop--to kill them all. He pleaded guilty to rape of a child and solicitation to commit first-degree murder. He'll be doing 37 in the Big House and then he will at some point fry in hell.
