Michigan Man Repeatedly Raped Infant To Produce Child Porn
A Michigan man is behind bars after he allegedly admitted to committing a horrifying crime against an 18-month-old infant. The Dreamin’ Demon reports that 29-year-old Eric Masters of Grand Rapids is already serving a 50-year prison term for similar crimes — the details of which are disturbing.
The Michigan man admitted to his shocking crimes in court on Monday, which could garner him an additional 50 years of imprisonment. In all, he pleaded guilty to five charges — felonies — in association with the repeated rape and exploitation of the 18-month-old infant girl.
The 29-year-old man’s crimes were discovered when authorities found video footage that showed the man raping the victim at least three different times over an eight-day span. The 2012 incidents were filmed in a motel room. In at least one of the videos, the child was bound (tied) to the bed. In another video, 29-year-old Eric Masters urinated on the baby.
The Detroit Free Press reports that the Michigan man distributed the videos he had taken during the 2012 incident, and shared them with multiple people — including his older brother. The man’s older brother, 32-year-old Timothy Matthew Masters, has also been sentenced to 27 years of imprisonment on a conviction associated with the rape of a 10-year-old girl. Not only did the elder Masters brother rape a 10-year-old girl, he took pornographic images of the victim while she slept, and then emailed them to 29-year-old Eric Masters. The two brothers are accused of habitually trading child pornography with one another

This horrifying case is getting a lot of attention on social media, with most people expressing sentiments of shock, disgust and anger. Many are also calling for the death penalty, though he will likely serve the rest of his life in prison. That is especially because he has been convicted of similar crimes in the past. He has also been convicted of raping toddlers and filming the acts across the state of Michigan.

Fortunately, an end has come to his horrifying sexual crime spree, so no more victims will ever fall into his grasps again. Nonetheless, the victims of his serial sex crimes will live the rest of their lives with the emotional trauma of being victims of child rape.
Unfortunately, crimes like these are all too common. Recently, in Alabama, a family of pedophiles were busted in a shockingly massive child sex ring. The Holland family — and various family members of missing Alabama woman Brittney Wood — advertised pedophile sex parties online and included several children in their family circle. So far, more than 11 family members in this pedophile clan have been arrested, facing justice for their alleged crimes. Meanwhile, Brittney Wood remains missing since 2012. She vanished just a day before she was scheduled to talk to police about the crimes committed by her own flesh and blood.
In this latest case out of Michigan, reports are not clarifying whether or not the 18-month-old victim is related to the man convicted of raping her. What is being reported, however, is that the man is going to be sentenced for this conviction in March.
