Most everyone I know has “that special uncle.”
Maybe he likes to snorkle in the shower. Maybe he collects Star Wars action figures. Maybe he spends 90 percent of his time on black-tar heroin.
Michael Mullen, the 21-year-old uncle of little 2-year-old Casey Leigh Mullen, liked to collect BDSM child porn.
Michael had been charged with raping a 12-year-old girl on a school playground in 2003, but those charges had been dropped when it became a “he said - she said” kind of affair as Mullen admitted having sex with the girl but claimed she had asked for it.
In February of 2007, after a night of drinking, Michael Mullen stumbled home to his brother’s house, where he was living at the time.
Michael lay down next to his niece, Casey Leigh Mullen, a beautiful 2-year-old girl whose nickname was “Smiley.” This, in and of itself wasn’t unusual, as family members would often sleep next to the toddler. What happened next was unusual.
Michael Mullen slipped little Casey’s pajamas off and took a picture of the little girl, naked below the waist.
Police later found the picture he had taken on Michael’s cellphone.
After this display of photographic skill, Michael Mullen raped his 2-year-old niece, a tiny, defenseless girl who knew and trusted him.
After raping the little girl, Michael strangled Casey to death and left her, dead and smeared with blood, in her bed.
The toddler’s body was reportedly found by her mother, Samantha Canham, who, in what can only be described as a nightmare scenario for any parent, screamed, “she’s dead, she’s dead, someone’s killed Casey” while cradling the little girl in her arms and rocking back and forth.
Michael Mullen confessed and was sentenced to serve a prison term of a minimum of 35 years.
Following the sentencing, Casey Mullen’s parents issued a statement.
We have some very happy memories of Casey Leigh and she will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. She was a special little girl. We thank the good people of Leeds and particularly all those who sent us cards and letters. Those were a great comfort to us. We would now like to get on with our lives in peace and attempt to come to terms with the events of the last few months.

Oh my god that is horrible. How can someone be so perverted and messed up and sick in the head to do something like this to such a beautiful little girl? It makes me want to cry. She knew him and loved him and then he did this to her. It’s sick and when I can just imagine how it went it makes me want to cry.

These stories scare me so much. I have a baby girl and a young son and I can’t understand how these parents don’t go vigilante on these assholes.

There is no one more vile in the world than a child rapist As others have said: “Hell is too good for him”

He had already been in trouble for having sex with a twelve year old. Why didnt he do time then? Because of some he said, she said bullshit? Even if the 12yr old had consented why was he not charged with statutory rape? Why was he ever able to be near that poor baby?

Because it was in the UK.
The judge said this as he senetenced this perv to 35 years: “You are a very dangerous man who is capable of lethal, violent, sexual crimes against children and you will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.”
So, I ask this - why 35 years? That’s not even the average life expectancy that he stole from this beautiful baby. Maybe it’s half.
The judge KNEW that this pervert is dangerous, and must also know that whenever he gets out he will be even more dangerous.
Crimes against children are the worst, because, if this perv were to (I know - but just IF) actually be in jail for the full 35 years.. (I SAID I KNOW!!!).. he would be in his early 50’s when he got out.
Men can and have molested and killed children all the way into their 70’s and 80’s and maybe even beyond that.
So, this judge effectively passed a death sentence on some other as-yet unknown, probably unborn child. KILL THE CRIMINAL!!
