Guilty plea: Child rapist was accused of giving girls 'special juice' before assaults

NBCPhiladelphia.com

Barry McOwen was accused of drugging and raping girls as young as 6 years old.

A Pennsylvania man pleaded guilty Tuesday to various child sex abuse charges, putting a surprising end to his trial on charges that he drugged and raped three young girls and posted images of the acts on the Internet.

Barry McOwen, 67, was charged with 651 total counts including multiple rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual abuse of children, endangering the welfare of children, aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors, invasion of privacy and drug violation charges.

He wound up taking the stand in court Tuesday -- the second day of the trial -- to plead guilty to some of those charges, including one count of child rape, three counts of indecent assault, four counts of creating child pornography and one count of dissemination of child porn, McOwen's lawyer George Yacoubian Jr. said.


The charges add up to 50 1/2 to 100 years in prison, Yacoubian said.

Read the original report at NBCPhiladelphia.com

He said McOwen pleaded guilty to spare himself even harsher punishment while also sparing family members from having to testify in the trial.

When McOwen was arrested about a year ago, authorities said that he used both allergy and prescription medications, which he referred to as his “special juice” to drug the girls, who were left in his care, before he sexually assaulted them.

"All the times I loved touching her and fondling her and the best part is she has no clue," McOwen allegedly said in one particular chat, according to a criminal complaint.

All of the victims were between six and 10 years old.

According to investigators, McOwen took pictures and videos of the incidents and shared them with others over the Internet.

He often used Internet chats to share his horrific acts. The criminal complaint mentions one chat obtained by authorities in which McOwen allegedly told someone else, "I want to rape any pre-teen so bad."

McOwen also referred to his "sleep assaults" in many online conversations.

Investigators say the assaults took place over the course of five years -- between January 2006 and June 2011.

The investigation into McOwen began when authorities were made aware of child porn trading between McOwen and another individual, thanks to an investigation in Washington state. He was arrested in mid-June 2011.

This article doesn't say whether he's eligible for parole, but something tells me he is. Sexual predators, sociopaths, and child molesters cannot be rehabilitated. He deserves life in prison, if not quick disposal.

sandrich you can only blame him. he is the evil one. those children were probably family members and they were drugged and young. they probably didn't understand. . he was probably the grandfather or uncle acting like a nice old man willing to help watch the children. although i'm sure he didn't just start this act he probably has done this all his life so i wouldn't be surprise when more victims come forward like his daughters and sisters if he has any. now if they let this man watch their children after being molested by him themselves then shame on them.

No a bullet or lethal injection it's just to good for him. Give me a hypo some battery acid, an xacto knife and some antifreeze and I will go to town on this sick eff. When I'm done he will wish he was dead but will just be drooling arse in lots of pain for the rest of his life. I'm sorry I usually would not wish death or harm to anyone except people like this. I wil play banjo with his tibial and median nerves, inject his package with acid then several of drops of antifreeze intravenously-then if needed the coup de gras(ending-not mercy) would be some more antifreeze. It will kill him but also take some time I do apologize again for being or seeming demented but I'm just so sick of these pedophiles.

in response to Ido, i think castration would be the perfect punishment for child rapists. i don't think these kind of people can change and castration would keep them from ever doing it again. i would think that if everything is chopped off they would have no more sex drive and if they still even had the slightest sex drive then give them some estrogen to counteract any testonerone that may be left in their disgusting bodies. its just cruel enough to count as justice. of course they should still be registered as sex offenders and watched closely to make sure.

Don't you get it yet ruslis? It doesn't have to do with sex.. How can you have sex with a child? It has to do with sexual control of his victims.. If you castrate the bottom feeder he would then use coke bottles or other such items.. He's a sexual predator and a controller. Stuff like this irks felons and once they get wind of his charges they will make him feel like a sexually abused eight year old.. His picture spread out in the media guarantees his fate.. More than likely the authorities will protect his wide ass by placing him in solitary confinement (doubling our tax dollar pay-out) but they can't protect him forever.. One slip will be all it takes.. Bubba the lifer will make a name for himself over night when the sieve penetrates this fool's dark heart and on that day it will be deemed a prison holiday as even the turn keys applauds. Then poor Bubba will have one more life sentence slapped on his other three while the tank applauds for joy over the justice of this pathetic monster.. Dead man walking.

And the only person they're hurting are themselves, but this puke drugs, rapes, videos and publicizes it and he only gets 50-100 years, and yeah that means he is eligible for parole. It should have been nothing less than life, period. The flipping priorities of the judicial system in this country make me sick.

Life in prison, end of story.

Also for those advocating death, it would be too kind. Being a convicted pedo in prison is worse then death, pedo's are on the bottom of the food chain in there. All the thieves, drug dealers, gangsters, murders and rapists tend to hate pedo's. The guards hate pedo's and won't protect them from the other inmates. He is going to be going through living hell and wishing he would die, yet he'll be too scared to end it for himself.

Hmmm... Castration has nothing to do with the offenses he committed. You could "emasculate" him and he would still have the mental ability to get some joy or gratification from his conduct with young girls. His type of behavior is all about power and control, not just the sex act.

More likely than not, this cretin will die while in prison - either from "natural causes," or quite possibly through the inmate justice system. In all probability, he will be in special housing - away from other prisoners, so it will be extremely difficult, but not entirely impossible, for the prison justice system to exact revenge...

Don't mean to get off track here from the torture fest but I just have to comment on Oldman Kentucky's post at 1.27. If you have been married for 30 yrs and you have not had sex over 600+ times, I would not classify you as sexually active. I think most couples, especially young ones, are more like bunnies and average 3-10 times a week for their first few years of wedded bliss. I do not find the number extraordinary other than all of his was sick perverted acts of crime. The ones that get caught usually only get caught because they do it so often, they become complacent in their cover-up methods or choice of victims.

OK, now back to the torture fest. May he be tied down and his balls be soaked in carrot juice while 50 little bunnies in the same cage go unfed for days. Ouch!

    "One count of child rape" and the parents didn't notice any behavioral changes or other complaints from the child. These were preteens as in 12 y/o or younger. Regardless of whether or not the parents were aware enough of their children's physical/mental state, this slug needs to die; not because we need to punish him (which as a society we do) but because he cannot be rehabilitated and if somehow released, will do it again.

Of course, he should be kept confined for the rest of his life. Perpetrators like him are truly a danger to society. One of these years, researchers will find out just why these people have such a malfunction in there personalities and (hopefully) find a means of correcting it. You can do all the execution/castration/bubba comments all you like, but if a means of correcting the behaviors of these offenders is not found and implemented, we shall always have these types of crimes.

    He drugged his victims so they had no idea what was going on. It was only caught because he bragged about it online not because any of his victims complained.

      First: yes, I am a Christian. I am against the death penalty IN MOST CASES! In this case, death by electrocution or lethal injection is too easy. My suggestion: I have 5 horses I'll loan someone. Tie each appendage to a horse pointed in a different direction. Arms, legs and penis. Then scare the poop out of the horses and watch 'em run!

      Oh, do this in front of other pedophiles, and allow the children's families to watch.

      Why am I so hard-hearted? I am a mom and a grandmother. Hurt my children or grandchildren and Armeggedon will open on your a**. The recedivism rate among sexual predators is too high to trust them to the legal system.

        @RevSpinnaker- Jesus certainly didn't LOVE violence. And surprisingly, he WOULD have loved this horrific pedophile. And forgiven him, if he repented. Given the recedivism rate, in my humble opinion, this is highly unlikely. We kill rabid, dangerous animals. In my mind, this man is a rabid, dangerous animal. So, lets put him down.

        Would Jesus approve of my idea? Probably not. But who knows? I don't pretend to know the mind of Jesus. He certainly did nothing to stop the violence of the Romans, did he? Not just what was directed at him, but at any "criminal". Perhaps even Jesus believes in justice.

        Regardless of what punishment he is given, and whatever it is will almost certainly be less than what he deserves, the children will be fine if they are properly counciled. Too often it is the pedophile who is pitied and let go. Sex offender lists don't bother these self centered pieces of vermin, and they cannot be rehabilitated. They don't do it because they are sick or because they were abused as children. They do it simply because they are power hungry cowards who don't have enough courage to stand up to adults their own size, and they refuse to acknowledge they do anything wrong. In short, they enjoy doing what they are forbidden and they have no place in society. He shouldn't be jailed because society shouldn't have to feed him the rest of his useless days.

          The recedivism rate among sexual predators is too high to trust them to the legal system.

          Actually the recedivism for sexual predators is very low. I believe it is the lowest of all crimes. Burglary and other non-violent crimes have much higher recedivism rates.

            i agree, death is the best/only option for filth like this. people talk about what 'bubba' will do to him in prison,they don't realize that all pedos,ex-gang members,rats, etc. go to a special area of the prison called the sensitive needs unit where they are surrounded by others of their ilk. there will be no raping no punishment they will sit around in group therapy and talk about all the children they ruined and how sorry they are that they got caught. go back to their cells and beat off. they eat at different times/area, they exercise in a different area, shower, all of that. they only way for prison justice to happen is if one of his own kind kills him or someone is able to get him in the infirmary, or on the job site. though i myself have never been in prison i know people who have and this is how it was explained to me. so the long and short of it all is, these poor girls lost their innocence and this human excrement will live his life with 3 hots and a cot,get to go to college classes and cry to his therapist about how he didn't get a pony when he was 6 and that's why he does what he does his only punishment being locked up in a small cell with or without a roomate, and he will (hopefully) never be allowed around little children again

            No mention of any other arrests made. Hopefully they have arrested the Internet "sickos" he has communicated with. If this is what he has bragged about in the last 5 years of his life, what in the H*** has he been doing during the rest of his life? 50 to 100 Years? What about the other victims that are undoubtedly out there? He should face 50 to 100 years per each charge against him. Maybe then society can feel safe against this monster.

                Who you trying to kid meworld? Pedophiles come from every race, color and creed, and can be found in eery country in the world. Either you don't know much or you are in self denial. Unfortunately, because of these cretins, many people are falsely accused, and these vermin do more than just damage the child. They also cause loving parents to live in fear of showing affection for their children, for fear of being accused of the same despicable acts. However, when they are caught and proven guilty, there is no excuse and no way they can be rehabilitated. They receive way to much pity as it is. They should just be discarded from society, totally.

                  No matter the color that part does not matter, what matters the most is the children he did this too. but why not do him the same way? he did it to them , let him see how it feels to have the same done too him. but they most probably will in prison, thats what i've heard many times.

                      He is a evil person who should never be let out of prison...ever. But they are not saying he got away with 651 individual molestation's or rapes of a child. Go to the link that say's "was charged with 651 total counts." Most of the crimes against the victims bring many charges with them at the same time. I am not sure what the total number of victims is...one is to many.

                      I think if some monster like this rapes, molests, or take pictures of nude children that the State should not have to charge him with a dozen charges for each one to make sure he is prosecuted for what crime was committed. It is only logical that if some pervert rapes a child that he not only raped a child, but endangered that child, inflicted emotional distress, physical harm, etc... Kind of makes sense that those things would be figured into the penalty of the crime.

                      Some say kill him...but that would be too easy for him. Life without parole in solitary would be MUCH worse. Death will not come quick enough for the *astard!

                        Most of these types of crimes are committed by white people. I think the crimes that are typical of white men are one million times worse then the drug dealing or gangster crimes that blacks do. White men have higher rates of kidnapping, child molesting, serial killing to name a few. Im black and I was scared of white men growing up and still is..even though I lived in predominately black neighborhoods. I had several instances where I was stalked by a white man. I will never forget one time when I was 9yrs old a white man kept circling past my house while I was sitting on my porch playing with friends and he was holding his penis in his hand while sitting in his car watching me, I ran in the house and didnt come out for days. I never had any issues like this with black men that dominated my neighborhood, Im just saying.

                            No protective custody. He didn't protect those girls, did he? Why should we protect him? Seems like a privilege to me. I thought the idea of prison is that all privileges are rescinded for the duration of the punishment. Prison isn't supposed to be pleasant.

                              He already pled guilty so he isn't getting off on any technicality or anything. But the technicalities that you complain about are the only thing standing between us and a totalitarian government. If it weren't for these technicalities everyone would probably be in jail.

                                  So what do we do with him. Not really we, but them. I think he has overstayed his welcome, voided his warranty. He has harmed hundreds of people, get rid of him. It is not anything else, it is just getting rid of him.

                                  Since we know pedophiles and the like CANNOT be rehabilitated, we should geld them. Neuter them. Snip those balls right off. Maybe we could then see if that would make children safer.

                                  it's more in their brain than their penis. i knew a man who had an infection and they had to cut off his legs and penis and he would tell me he still had a tongue. so the real solution would be to chop off their heads. problem solved.

                                  The best thing to do with this person would be to castrate him as well as removing his hands. Then he should not be able to do anything to anyone else.

                                  The only way to insure that he never repeats his acts is to eliminate him, totally.

                                  Another typical black guy, or brown guy, or yellow guy- makes about as much sense. Are white guys really the most common predators?

                                  Unfortunately Scooter child sexual predators tend to be more often than not white males other color males, brown, black, Indian and Asain are typical female killers, they rape and like to kill the more down trotten woman. In other words, druggies, prostitutes, run aways and the like. Just stating a fact not my opinion.

                                  Yes, this kind of things crosses all ethnics. But, for all the members of the 'Koch Professional Troll Network' we would be seeing ten times more comments if this was a black man, and you would have tied it to Obama to boot.

                                  If it was a black predator it probably wouldn't have been on here in the first place. BUT, that's not the issue.

                                  Pull the race card... really? There are those who are just DYING to have it be a person of color. The story is about a sick creep, who happens to be WHITE, who is just dying to drug and rape little girls. Why try to turn it into something it is not? Oh, I know... to support one's ignorant prejudices. Let's all get in our little boxes where we belong now, shall we? Some will go off to their little KKK boxes... just as sick and twisted as any other predator - including pedophiles. That's right - I put the KKK (racists - same dif!) in with pedophiles - all small minded criminals out to hurt other people - and feeling entitled and justified! Amazing, and pathetic. I'm white. I very much appreciate and love diversity, color, and culture. I dislike very much humanity's inhumanity against humanity. Very, very, much. Bummer.

                                  Simple answer to your question Scooter, No. White guys are no more likely than any other group to molest. Anyone who believes otherwise is delusional. Also, women can be included in the count, as it seems unfair to mention that they frequently molest as well. Unfortunately, white men seem to bear the brunt of most of the ills of the world nowadays. This too is unfair.

                                    "Facts" are however you perceive them to be, make of them whatever you wish. Whites do this, Blacks do that--it's all nonsense to attribute "facts" to either race. "Facts" are a variable and constantly change with time. Take time into consideration.

                                      breadex...you mention that many here that have left comments should have some sort of help from a doctor...a shrink....this may or may not be true...not for me to judge...but as far as this McOwen monster...all the trips in the world may have only brushed the surface of his problem it is a well known

                                      fact that someone like him isnt helpable..perhaps they can do a great case study on him to better help everyone

                                      understand that in the world of shrinkdom and treatments....McOwen and those like him remain

                                      untreatable and will if given opportunity harm and destroy lives again and again.

                                          JEN from CALI, Not to disappoint you but sex offender populations aren't housed with inmates that are in for other crimes such as murder, theft, drugs, etc. to prevent them from being hurt by the other inmates. Trust me on this, 'm a psychlogist and used to work at a prison as a sex offender treatment specialist.

                                          It is unfair to judge the parents without knowing the details. Bottom line, this predator and those who willingly viewed his communications are the sole guilty parties in this. Unfortunately there are thousands more like him. They are like cockroaches, using the excuse that they were molested as children. I vehemently disagree with this alibi. When one is sexually abused themselves, they should never want to see this torture inflicted upon anyone else. Truth is, there is NO excuse for pedophilia.

                                            Terri, what you need to realize is that the guards are also parents and they will look the other way.

                                            Jeffrey Dahmer would be a good example.

                                              Yes, death is the easy way out for people like him. He would be better served rotting in a cell for life, so that he could reflect on the actions that brought him to that place.
