"Infant Jane" BEEMER - 1 yo - Trumbull/ Youngstown OH

A mother and father accused of raping their 1-year-old daughter during a
supervised visit at Trumbull County Children Services appeared in
Common Pleas Court Friday to face the charges.

Both are in jail and most likely won't be getting out soon.

"The
state requests a $1 million bond due to the possible life sentence in
the rape count," said Assistant Trumbull County Prosecutor Diane Barber.

Judge W. Wyatt McKay granted her request.

Felicia
Banks Beemer and her husband, Cody Beemer, were indicted on charges of
rape and pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor. Cody
Beemer also faces a charge of gross sexual imposition.

The two
are accused of raping their daughter during a visit at Trumbull Children
Services and also having sexual contact with another baby while at a
home in Trumbull County.

During the hearing, Cody showed little
emotion while Felicia sobbed and mouthed the words "help me" to her
family that sat in the rear of the courtroom.

"I know my daughter
did wrong, but Children Services done wrong themselves. I am tired of
Children Services. They have been bothering me since my kids were
young," said Felicia's mother, Loretta Banks.

A video of both alleged crimes were found on a cell phone.

Both
Felicia and Cody are due back in court next week. If convicted of all
the crimes, they could face life in prison with parole eligibility after
25 years.

Children Services officials released a statement
Thursday saying they are shocked and saddened by the tragedy and that
the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services will conduct an
independent review of the department's policies and procedures.
