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.

If this guy talks, they may be able to solve some cold cases in that area. Maybe some digging around on his property will turn up some bodies.

I especially like the “abuse of corpse” charge. Murder is just so everyday normal!

I think there are a few missing lines in this article. Such as ‘since the sex acts occurred after the victim’s death, rape cannot be used as ‘special circumstances’ to seek the death penalty’. The murder charge still stands and Morganelli has made it quite clear that he will prosecute this case personally and he does tend to seek the maximum so I would expect him to ask for 60 to life for this fellow, and trust me, the jury pool around here would just as soon take this POS into the woods and save us tax payers the legal fees in exchange for the cost of a bullet.

So you’re saying Republicans are more likely to commit crime than liberals? I think you have a case of conformation bias.
lynchie December 9th, 2014 at 09:18
Well it is a scientific fact that Republicans are more likely to commit a sex act with a corpse, animal or with themselves than any other group. Their brains are so small they need help determining their hat size.

I can provide you with link after link of stories about black males raping kids if you like. Tell you, if you have kids, move to the ghetto and see how they fare.

If this makes me a hypocrite because of beliefs I’ve professed in the past so be it, but the sooner this pos is dead the better.

to “have sex with” implies consent. He raped a corpse.

I would like to express what I think should happen to this guy, but, I’m sure they would censor or delete what I post. If they give me immunity from prosecution, I volunteer to carry out my thoughts.

Just tell the other inmates what he did. They’ll take care of it.
