In court papers, a Sheriff's Department investigator said the teenage girl alleged that Saimon was mad at her for stealing his car and wrecking it. The girl said Saimon attacked her as punishment. Advertisement
The alleged assault happened at Saimon's home two days before the church shooting.
Prosecutors have declined to discuss Saimon's motive in the shooting, but relatives of the victims have said Saimon was jealous of their standing in the community and feared he might be outcast after the teen made the rape allegation.

Documents: Neosho church shooter raped girl because she took his car
Associated Press has filed a story on the sex charges filed Tuesday against alleged Neosho church shooter Eiken Elam Saimon. Saimon is charged with three counts of murder, four counts of assault, and single charges of armed criminal action and felonious restraint in connection with the Aug. 14 attack at the First Congregational Church of Neosho:
Nothing like a little suprise sex.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if Saimon used to take guns to school, point them at people and pull the trigger. I'm curious if he was ever punished for his ill behavior before. I'm curious if he would have thought through his behavior (the alleged rape and the murder charges) if he had been taught responsibility and consequences at a younger age.
