Teen pleads guilty to raping and murdering his girlfriend's toddler son after plying the child with alcohol

A 19-year-old man in Tacoma, Washington, has pleaded guilty to raping and murdering his girlfriend's two-year-old son.

Jake Musga pleaded guilty on Monday to first degree murder and child rape in the death of Laura Colley’s son Chayson.

He could spend the rest of his life in prison after prosecutors confirmed that they will be asking the judge to sentence Musga to 60 years to life when he is sentenced in November.

Jake Musga, 19, from Tacoma, Washington is facing life in prison after pleading guilty on Monday to raping and murdering Laura Colley's two-year-old son Chayson

The incident happened on March 30, when a witness called 911 to report that they had found Musga holding a baby ‘covered with bruises’ at the Commencement Terrace apartment complex.

Chayson was taken to a local hospital where doctors said he showed no significant brain activity, had bleeding in his brain and stomach, had suffered a collapsed lung and bruising around his rectum, and registered a blood-alcohol level of .12, court records show. The legal limit for drivers in Washington is .08.

Musga, who is not the child's father, told Tacoma police that he was watched the child when the boy's mother was out at a party, reports SeattlePI.

According to police, he claimed the injuries resulted from a series of events days earlier where the boy had accidents, such as bumping his head on a counter, slipping in the shower, and falling out of bed.

He also claimed he had poured himself a drink with multiple shots of vodka and that the boy must have drank some while he was in another room.

But an autopsy revealed the boy had suffered injuries ‘too numerous to count,’ including fatal blows to the head and torso that were inconsistent with the events Musga described, prosecutors said.

Musga initially pleaded not guilty to the crimes, but has since admitted to the murder and acknowledged the crimes warrant an exceptional sentence, prosecutors say.

In his plea paperwork Musga admitted that he killed Chayson because the toddler had urinated on him.

‘Nothing shocks the conscience more than the murder of a child,’ said prosecutor Mark Lindquist. ‘We are asking the court for the functional equivalent of a life-sentence.’

The standard sentence range is 22 years to life in prison, but prosecutors will be asking the judge to sentence Musga to 60 years to life. When he is sentenced in November.

At Chayson’s funeral in April his mom’s family celebrated his short life and fondly recalled how he had learned how to say ‘Love you’ in the last weeks of his life.


During the service, Laura Colley wrote and read what she characterized as a letter to her son in heaven, reports TheDailyWorld.com.

‘To my beloved son, Chayson, my favorite part of the day was at the end of the day when we were both so tired and we would lay together with your hand in mine and you would look up at me and smile and grab my face with both your hands and kiss me,’ she wrote.

‘And you would say, “Love you!” and I’d say it back. It felt so good to be loved by you. You were my every reason for being.

'No matter how long, bad or rough the day was, when I would hear you laugh, everything became good again. It was true bliss being with you. My heart will ache every day until we are together again.’

I did not see a post on this but came across it today.  This man should be castrated by paper cuts and hung by piano wire.  I shouldn't say this but I hope they do in prison to him what he did to this little angel.  My heart and soul cries for the little angel.  William

Prosecutors: Man who raped, murdered toddler pleads guilty
The 19-year-old man who raped and murdered a toddler in March could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Jake Musga pleaded guilty Monday to first degree murder and child rape in the death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son, according to prosecutors.

Tacoma police arrested Musga at the Commencement Terrace apartments on March 30 after a witness called 911 to report that Musga was holding a baby "covered with bruises," according to court documents.

The child was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Prosecutors say the toddler showed no signs of brain activity when he arrived at the hospital, was bruised "from head to toe," had internal bleeding and a blood-alcohol level of 0.12 -- an amount beyond what would be considered drunk in an adult.

Musga, who is not the child's father, told investigators he watched the child when the boy's mother was at work. According to police, he claimed the injuries resulted from a series of events days earlier where the boy had accidents, such as bumping his head on a counter, slipping in the shower, and falling out of bed.

He also claimed he had poured himself a drink with multiple shots of vodka and that the boy must have drank some while he was in another room.

But an autopsy revealed the boy had suffered injuries "too numerous to count," including fatal blows to the head and torso that were inconsistent with the events Musga described, prosecutors said.

Musga initially pleaded not guilty to the crimes, but has since admitted to the murder and acknowledged the crimes warrant an exceptional sentence, prosecutors say.

"Nothing shocks the conscience more than the murder of a child," Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said in Monday news release. "We are asking the court for the functional equivalent of a life-sentence."

Musga will be sentenced in November. The standard sentence range is 22 years to life in prison, but prosecutors will be asking the judge to sentence Musga to 60 years to life.

This is too disgusting for words.  Of course the little baby peed on him, he was being raped and only God knows what else.

No telling what he did to the baby to get that alcohol down him.

I hope they put in him gen pop and he is made the queen of the cell block daily for the rest of his miserable life.

TACOMA — Jake Musga, the man who pleaded guilty to the rape and murder of a 2-year-old McCleary boy, was sentenced Thursday to almost 73 years in prison.

Musga, 19, was arrested March 30 after a witness saw him carrying the injured Chayson Colley-Jones through the hallway of a Tacoma apartment building. Colley-Jones died later that day. Musga was later charged with first degree murder and first degree rape.

The case was scheduled for trial in September, but went straight to sentencing after Musga entered guilty pleas for both charges.

Musga was the boyfriend of the child’s mother Laura Colley, a McCleary native and was watching the child overnight while Colley was in McCleary. The two met in a drug rehabilitation facility in late 2012. Both Colley and the child’s father, Brandon Jones of Elma, were present in Pierce County Superior Court for the sentencing. The maternal grandparents, Cathy and Troy Colley, and the paternal grandparents, Bobbye Choate and Ron Jones, were also present.
