Jacob Blair Scott's exwife urges him to turn himself in after faking death as he was to plead guilty to rape

[staysblazed_xo]

A Mississippi woman is urging her ex-husband to turn himself in after he allegedly faked his own death last summer to avoid being imprisoned for sexually assaulting and impregnating his 14-year-old stepdaughter. Jacob Blair Scott, 42, was expected to plead guilty before police in Alabama found his abandoned dinghy offshore in July.

The U.S. Marshals Service has been looking for Scott and recently received a tip that he was seen in the Denver area, where his mother, brother and sister live, according to KMGH-TV. Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Katrina Crouse said Tuesday the agency has been receiving additional tips through the area's Crime Stoppers organization.

Scott's boat was found floating about a mile off the Alabama coast in July. Police found a small-caliber handgun tied to the boat and a note that read "I'm sorry" with his Social Security number and his mother's name and phone number, the Sun Herald reported.

His ex-wife told the newspaper that she knew he was on the run when his body wasn't found after a weeklong search in the Gulf of Mexico. "He wasn't the type of person to own up when he did something wrong," she told the paper. "He said he'd never go to prison."

A Mississippi man who is accused of faking his own death to avoid a child rape charge and was added to the U.S. Marshals Service's 15 Most Wanted fugitives list, has been taken into custody in Oklahoma, U.S. Marshals Service officials said.

Jacob Blair Scott, 43, was arrested late Wednesday night, just hours after his name was added to the U.S. Marshals' 15 most wanted list. According to the U.S. Marshals, Scott was found in an RV park in Antlers.

According to a post on BJ Hedgecock Pushmataha County Sheriff’s Facebook page, deputies received a tip that Scott was hiding in Antlers, under a false identity. At about 11 p.m. Wednesday, deputies, with the assistance of US Marshals and Choctaw Nation Tribal Police, took Scott into custody without incident.

According to the U.S. Marshals, Scott first refused to acknowledge he was the fugitive. He finally admitted to his identity after authorities verified his tattoos. He was then taken into custody.

Scott, now 45, is facing a possible life sentence if convicted on nine counts of sexual battery against a minor, four counts of touching of a minor for lustful purposes, and one count of child exploitation for allegedly filming the victim while engaged in sex acts.

[....]
District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath and Assistant District Attorney Justin Lovorn are prosecuting the case and pointed out early on that a DNA test confirmed Scott fathered the minor girl’s child.

Scott had entered into an agreement with prosecutors to plead guilty to some of the charges.
[....]
information about Scott faking his death and going on the run to avoid prosecution will not be introduced at the trial because Judge Jackson ruled that information was not necessary to prove the sex crime charges against him.

Prosecutors said Tuesday that Scott preyed on the young girl and sexually assaulted her repeatedly at different times beginning around 2016 until her pregnancy and ultimately his arrest in 2017.

Scott’s attorneys, Tangi Carter and Victor Carmody Jr., argue Scott’s mental health and the medical ailments he’s suffered as a result of his decorated military service that included injuries that left him with mental health defects that clouded his judgment.
[....]
Scott’s injuries and the darkness that followed him grew when he returned home and ultimately destroyed his marriage and relationship with his child, his attorneys said.

Carter and Carmody argued early on that a pharmacologist, a licensed psychologist, and a toxicologist determined Scott’s medical conditions and the treatments he receives for them leave him in “clinical distress” and with a “mental health impairment.”

The defense also took time out of their opening to seemingly argue that the victim and her family were to blame for the alleged crimes. Prosecutors shot down those allegations.

Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy Sherwood Beckham, an IT expert trained to use computer software to retrieve information from smartphones, testified about the text messages that he discovered on the phones of both Scott and the victim.

Beckham said Scott had deleted the text messages between him and the alleged victim, but the deputy was able to recover them.

In addition, Beckham testified that he found pictures of Scott allegedly in the act of sexually assaulting the girl, with one photo showing Scott using a sex toy on the victim.

There were also nude photos of the girl on Scott’s phone, but her face was not in them. Still, Sheriff’s Lt. Eddie Clark said a witness was able to look at the pictures and positively identify the girl from her clothing, bedding and her body, and identify Scott as the alleged offender in the photos.

The alleged crime first came to light after the victim confided in her sister about her pregnancy. Once her sister confirmed the pregnancy through another test, she and her husband took the teen to the sheriff’s department to report the crimes.
[....]
When Clark took Scott into custody, he said Scott immediately asked for an attorney and never spoke to investigators about the allegations.

Social worker Sarah Blakenship Ross said she took the young victim into protective custody once the crimes were confirmed and testified that the girl seemed relieved to finally disclose the alleged crimes.

Testimony in the trial resumes Wednesday in Jackson County Circuit Court.

Jacob Blair Scott, who faked his own death before being arrested on multiple child sex crimes charges, bought multiple morning after pills after the child told him the news, according to testimony. Here’s more from court.

Who cares about his war decoration?

The prison guards should forgetfully toss some rope into his cell and let him finish the job ... for real this time!

What he did negates the power of that Purple Heart, and I really hate him for that, because it's a slap in the face of every veteran.

It should be taken from him and expunged from his record.
