Four people in Michigan have been arrested after allegedly plotting to abduct a young child from a public place, and rape them until they died.
The group, whose ages range from 19-37, conspired to kidnap a young child from a public place, then torture and sexually assault the child until their death, then dispose of the body.
Michigan AG Bill Schuette announced he had charged David Bailey, 37, of Coldwater, formerly of Kalamazoo, Matthew Toole, 32, of Battle Creek, Talia Furman, 32, of Springfield, and Jayme LaPointe, 19, of Athens, with three counts each of conspiracy to murder, kidnap and commit sexual conduct on Friday, reports Daily Mail.
Each charge is punishable by up to life in prison, and all four are being held in custody until their arraignment.
Michigan State Police told WOOD TV three members of the group were being investigated for child pornography when they discovered conversations between all four about their horrific plan.
