Pennsylvania Man Videotaped Himself Having Sex With Stepdaughter’s Corpse
A Pennsylvania man is accused of killing his stepdaughter, Jessica Padgett, then videotaping himself having sex with her corpse, Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said Friday.
Morganelli said the video confirmed what Gregory R. Graf, 53, told investigators on the day he was charged with homicide last month that he wanted to have sex with Padgett, and that he did so after she was dead, Philly.com reports.
The recording was discovered on his computer.
An abuse-of-corpse charge will be filed against Graf..
Since it’s a misdemeanor, it means Morganelli won’t be able to seek the death penalty because the alleged sexual abuse occurred after she was killed.
There’s something missing here – like the part about murder.
According to the video, Graf committed a variety of sexual acts against his 33-year-old stepdaughter, of Whitehall Township, who once described him as like a second father on social media.
Graf allegedly shot Padgett in the back of the head on Nov. 21 and hid her body on his property while family and friends searched for her.
Police also discovered a marijuana-growing operation on Graf’s property that police discovered as they searched for Padgett, according to Philly.com.
According to The Morning Call, Graf told President Judge Stephen Baratta that he wanted a taxpayer-funded lawyer in order to avoid spending money that his family could otherwise use.
Graf said his assets are held jointly with his wife, Danelle, the mother of Padgett, and he did not want to deplete them.
“Like I said, I just don’t want to take away the funds from the family,” Graf, the owner of a fencing company, said.
Morganelli blasted Graf’s request saying his own financial disclosures to the public defender’s office showed that he can afford to pay for an attorney.
“Mr. Graf has just basically told you that he’d rather waste the taxpayer money on his defense than his own [money],” Morganelli told Baratta.
Jessica’s disappearance prompted an exhaustive search, and a Facebook page dedicated to finding her with 8,248 members. She was a recently married mother of three children.

Short of a tumor or traumatic brain injury, I’m thinking you don’t just wake up at the age of 53 and decide you want to sexually assault a corpse. At least I hope not, I’ve been 53 for a couple of weeks.
My own concerns aside, I find it difficult to think this is the first time something like this has happened involving Graf.

We are talking Pennsyltucky here….

I live in Pennsyltucky and even for our area this is off the effing scale. I have to agree with the others, I cannot image that this is his first murder and I get the sinking feeling that the more they investigate the more horrors they’ll uncover. I mean, he was part of the search party looking for her; acted bereaved, faced her husband, children and they neighbors and lied (convincingly) to them. This is not his first pony ride.

They probably have the cadaver dogs out as we speak.. In the trade he is what is known as a real sick puppy

The NRA will create a special category for this entrant for shooter of the month
flame821 December 7th, 2014 at 17:44
They’ll do the same thing they do with every white shooter. Mental illness; and then blame the system for not noticing sooner. In this particular case I don’t honestly think a lack of a gun would have stopped him, someone who is willing to do what he did…..there is no way that was an accident or heat of the moment action.
rg9rts December 8th, 2014 at 00:59
We have a NRA shooter of the month award which I mention when ever I see a shooter story…what started out as a snark has turned into a very sad commentary on us… follow the gun stories and you’ll see me
Me December 9th, 2014 at 03:20
Do you do it when ghetto chimps are the shooters? I doubt it.
Me December 9th, 2014 at 03:20
They can do the same for many ghetto chimp gang bangers who murder their fellow chimps. Personally, I admire blacks ability to murder one another thus relieving taxpayers of the burden they present. Keep up the good work “boys”. LOL

Too sick for words. He had to have had some sort of incident before this. Were the signs of abuse ignored? Like Carla said below, you don’t wake up one day and decide you want to have sex with your stepdaughter. Or decide to execute her to do so.

A normal person simply cannot fathom how someone could do something like this, especially to a person they are close to. I have no frame of reference to start from, nothing inside me that even whispers ‘Well, I could see that if…..’
It’s the cold-blooded, amoral, sociopathic act of a monster. He should be treated accordingly. And I echo the others who say either this isn’t his first psychotic episode, or he has something seriously fundamentally medically screwed up under his hair. Or both.

I do believe this was something Ted Bundy did to some of his victims as well. Necrophilia! So he can’t be charged with rape……what about the murder that preceded it?
