A 20-year-old man burglarizing an apartment pried open a tackle box and found nude photos of young girls, including his little sister.

The man turned himself and the pictures into police, who later arrested the apartment's tenant, a registered sex offender now facing a possible life sentence after being charged with rape of a child under the age of 13 and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.

Police said the rape charge against Richard Yearsley, 51, involved sexual touching in March of a child who was just under 4.

The 20-year-old man told police he watched Yearsley, whom he knew, leave the apartment and broke in once he left. Police said he then became enraged when he saw his 4-year-old sister's picture among "numerous" Polaroid photos of nude or partially nude young girls inside the tackle box.

He showed some of the photos to the building maintenance man, who convinced him to go to the police.

Police then searched the apartment late Friday and found photos of other young children in various states of dress.

The man said he knew what he had done was wrong, but "he knew that Yearsley was involved in something much worse and had to be stopped," according to the police report.

Police said that Yearsley admitted to taking photos of four other children during the past couple of years, and sexually touching some of them.

Wayne Willcox, deputy Piqua police chief, said the 20-year-old's case was referred to the city prosecutor to determine what charges will be filed.

Yearsley was registered as a sexually oriented offender with the Miami County Sheriff's Office following a 1995 conviction in Miami County for felony gross sexual imposition and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

Bail for Yearsley was set at $150,000 at arraignment Monday in Miami County Municipal Court.

Yearsley's preliminary hearing is scheduled for next Tuesday .

The Dayton Daily News is not identifying the 20-year-old man in order to protect the identity of his sister.

I have no words, this is just too damn weird.

Wonder if he hid anything before going to the pollice

All the guy has to do is claim the thief planted the evidence there when he broke in and he has a vendetta against him.

Or if his fingerprints are all over it, just claim he was sharing the stuff with the thief. Send him down as an offender too.

Good luck trying to get it upheld in court.

if only that were true!

it's a sad state of affairs when decent honest criminals are forced to hand themselves in to keep scum like that off the streets.

Good on him though, although personally, I think I'd have found another way of getting him sorted.

It says in the article that the guy admitted taking them and molesting children to the police, so I'd say that'll go some way to having it held up in court.

damn right!
people like him don't deserve to spend a few years in a cushy prison & then get let back into the community.

Baseball Bat?
during the Cold War both sides developed nerve-toxins which caused unbelievable pain level in human subjects, they where used by both sides for interigation, an (un)fortunate side effect of the compounds was the ireversable side effects, degrasion of the brain, permant "pain cycle" nerves that where in constant agony or had to be medicated constantly. I would suggets coupous amounts of these substances in these peoples' drinking water.

I believe in justice, not law

the old Japanese water torture was a good one. tie someone down and just drip water very slowly on their forehead. people would go bonkers in a couple of days.

personal favourite though, was the bamboo torture. Strap them out horizonally a foot from the ground with bamboo sprouts directly under them. bamboo grows a few inches every day and will grow right through anything, even concrete, so human flesh and bone is no problem.

have heard rumours that some of the more experienced Japs in the war could have the whole thing set up so it wouldn't do too much organ damage and it would take a couple of days for it to kill someone.

anyway, kinda getting OT, so I'll stop it there.:rolleyes:

Talk about honor among thieves!

There would probably be no problem for the evidence to be admissible in court since the police themselves did nothing illegal here.
