Toilet Paper – The New Killer of Children
The picture above is Joshua Andrew Stepp, 26. He stands accused of sexually assaulting and killing a 10 month old baby named Cheyenne Yarley. The child was his step-daughter, and he was watching her while her mother worked, when the child became unresponsive.
Stepp made a 911 call in which he said Cheyenne had choked on some toilet paper, and was not breathing. Well….at least he came up with an original excuse. Lame, but original. Most perv child murderers try to blame a fall down the stairs, or a fall from a crib, or some other piece of furniture. Then there is always the bathtub…and since the baby was in the bathroom eating the toilet paper anyway, it would have been the next logical step to try and incorporate the bathtub into the child’s death somehow. But, no, he stuck with the toilet paper defense.
When are these people gonna learn that the doctors know the difference between choking and intentional murder? And they can usually spot sexual assault as well – especially when the victim is only 10 months old. It’s pretty obvious when you try to have sex with a baby – the damage is usually tremendous.
Stepp is being held on $500,000.00 bond for the sex offense, but there is no bond for the murder charge. Good. At least he won’t be able to get out anytime soon.
There was also a 4-year old girl in the home – Stepp’s own daughter from a previous relationship. He had custody of the child, apparently, which leads me to wonder WHY?!? It also makes me fearful that he might have sexually abused his own child as well. I sincerely hope that she is checked out by the doctors.
Of course, a family defender has already come out to support Stepp. His sister has said that he loved kids (in bed?), and that they were his only hobby (ummmm……..is that what they’re calling it now?). She also said she wishes people would not jump to conclusions; and that what her whole family is trying to figure out at this point is how the baby got into the toilet paper. They just can’t figure that one out. Uh….really?…..REALLY?!? I think I’m gonna be sick.
Thanks for this tip go to Rebecca.

I wonder how long is going to take for his sister to come here to defend him.. and if she says something more about how children are “his hobby”.. damn, she’s going to go down pretty fast.

LOL…April and jj’ll get ‘em!
November 12th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Yeah I noticed JJ’s murderous mood today lol.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Let’s round them up! This guy would gag a maggot.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I believe in God. I believe in forgiveness. But, so help me… I can’t find any for so many of the monsters featured on this site. I hate them. I have no mercy, and I won’t shed a tear when this guy gets handed the death penalty.
November 12th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Someone PLEEEEZ invite the sister here. Pleeeeeeezzz!!! I would like to let the little scab know what I think about men that rape babies.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Angel, I don’t think we can fairly call males who rape babies “men.” “Scum,” “vermin” or “animal” is better … although I feel bad about insulting pond scum, sewer rats and other critters by lumping them in with baby rapists.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:59 am
When did I call him a man?
November 13th, 2009 at 11:10 am
That was April actually..
November 13th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
OH…missed that one. That seems to be a common thing here on PBB. People confuse me for April. They never confuse her for me, though. Are y’all trying to tell me something? Maybe I should just go away, and let April take over for me…..nah. I like it too much here.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
I say the fuck work too much for people to be confusing us.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Yeah, I noticed that about you…
You’d think the others would realize that if the ‘f’ word isn’t there (or at least SOME form of profanity), it’s probably not you, huh?
November 13th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
April didn’t use “fk” in that post and used the
icon.. so, add that to the fact that both your names beggin with an A and end with an L and both of you write alike.. except for the funny profanity.
But don’t leave anyway, we would miss you a lot..
November 13th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Wouldn’t dream of it, Monique! Y’all are stuck with me.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
i think we need more info on this one. all the articles say is that he was charged with sexual assault and murder. no details on anything….angel keep us updated, i’d like to know more before jumping this guy…was she battered and bruised? blunt force trauma to the head? extreme sexual trauma? not enough info.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I’ll keep you updated as I find out more, but I wasn’t able to find out much more myself. I googled, but all of the news stories had the same info – very little difference between them – and none with anything more specific.
Anybody out there who finds any new info, please let Trench or me know, so we can keep the readers informed. Thanks.

fuckfuckityfuckerfuckingshitfuck
November 13th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Thanks, April…I needed that laugh.
November 13th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Glad to fuckin’ help. Any ficking time you need any thing…. Anyfuckinthink at all – You just fuckin’ call me and I’m your bitch! ‘cuz I fucking love you!
November 13th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
I love you more!
November 13th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
MOre than I love you? No fucking way!
November 13th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
It’s the “A” and “l” thing. See, there was a study done that says people can read words that are mixed up as long as the first and last letter are in the correct place. But, you two have the same beginning and ending letters, so for some unknown reason our brains are saying “April” even though our eyes should be reading “Angel”. So, deos taht claer it up for evryenoe?
November 13th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
I raed taht smae sudty, Khaty. You msut be rgiht. Tahkns.

Not so much about this guy here, but it came up on a forum I post on… the subject of men who look for women with children to date… Shouldn’t that be a huge red flag for the moms? I’m sure some guys are great actors, but if a guy likes children there are usually signs…
November 13th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Bishop…..that’s exactly why I have said for years that if anything happens to my husband, I would wait until all of the kids are grown and gone before dating. I have six kids, and if I were to find a man who actually WANTED to date a woman with so many kids, I would have to suspect his motives. Most normal men run as fast as they can from commitment on that scale. LOL. But then, I’m not a very trusting person anyway….where my kids are concerned.
November 13th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
I had pretty much the same conversation with my husband last night.
My kids are way more important than dating some guy.
November 13th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Er… that should have been a reply but, I guess it’s easy enough to figure out.
November 13th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
I’m sure while he’s in jail he’ll be choking on something….but it’s not going to be toilet paper! Bon apetit ass hole!
November 16th, 2009 at 12:07 am
PMSL…
November 13th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Wow this baby is dead an his family is worried bout some fuckin tissue… U dumbasses he gagged her with it so he could rape the poor baby… when will these dumbass people learn babies are not sex toys!!!
SmhH

He could have been using the TP in a lame attempt to “clean out” the baby’s mouth. Or he injured her throat and stuffed TP in her mouth to cover the fact up. Whatever his sick reasoning, I hope Sarah’s right and he gets something nice and big to choke on in prison.
The fact that his enabling family is making excuses and detracting from the real issue (that this baby was raped and murdered) just goes to show why this guy is the way he is.
November 15th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I’ve had similar discussions with my hubby… I don’t think I could trust anyone interested in dating a woman with two children enough to even go there. I’d just make sure I lived near enough family that I’d have some support (emotional, someone to watch the kids now and then, etc.) if that ever happened.
From what I gathered from him, he’d skip the dating and just move back in with his parents to help out with the kids. (I’ve been sharing information with him about how more and more women have been charged with CSA.)

I have a 14 month old daughter. She is the light of my life. Every time I look at her I fall a little more in love with her. When I read stories like this one I feel empty & sick & I wonder how the mother of this child did not notice anything…surely there are signs that your boyfriend/partner/husband prefers your 10 month old daughter to you?????
When my hubby & I were driving home the other night with our precious bubbaloo sleeping peacefully in her seat in the back (correctly strapped in of course!), we heard a news item about a man who heard noises from his son’s bedroom so he went in only to find a stranger with a hood over his head & surgical gloves on “doing things to him” (no specifics were given in the bulletin). Some old guy (64) had broken in through a window & was abusing this child in his own bed…
I said to my husband that if he ever caught someone in our daughter’s room I hope he would not bother calling the police…we decided that if anyone should ever harm her they will be taken to the farm, which is quite literally in the middle of nowhere, & they will be treated how they deserve to be treated.
I find it suprememly sad that I have lost all faith in the judicial system…
November 17th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Ug… how disgusting. Do you have a link to that story, or where it happened? I’d like to post it on my site. Might also fit in with Trench’s “News of Doom” blog.
I’ve told my husband that if anyone ever touched one of my children, I couldn’t promise that I wouldn’t take the law into my own hands… and for sure, the scum had better pray that the police get to them before I do. My husband is far too trusting in the judicial system as far as I’m concerned. These scum get off much too lightly, as far as I’m concerned. The ones who murder don’t get nearly enough time, and the ones who molest/rape would be a little closer to true justice if they got the time given to those who rape/murder.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Dodia,
I’ll go you one better on that score. If anyone ever touches one of my babies I will promise TO take the law into my own hands. The only way a perv who touched one of my kids would have any chance of making it to trial would be if the authorities found and arrested him before I could get to him, and then kept him locked up and in protective custody until the trial. Otherwise, I would be the one on trial….it would be for murder….and I would gladly serve my time knowing I had removed a threat from the rest of humanity. And when I got out I might just disinter him and beat him some more…. just because.
