Ivan Hancock
Attention single ladies!
“Allusive male seeks female from broken home in low-income neighborhood, with young kids, preferably daughters. Hideous-looking, smelly, ill-tempered, lazy, cowardly, chronic, and a complete liar seeks a woman who has no idea of who she is or where she wants to go in life.”
Ivan Hancock, 46, faces murder charges in the separate killings of his girlfriends’ daughters in Colton in 2004 and San Bernardino in 2006. The two 15-month-old girls were both badly beaten; found two years apart in broken homes in low-income neighborhoods.
In 2004, lover boy Hancock was romancing Iyesha Marie Lightcsy, 27, who lived with her 15 month old daughter, Amber Russell, at Colton’s Four Seasons apartments, in Colton CA. On August 4, 2004, little Amber was found covered with bruises, with cuts on her throat and a cigarette burn on her chest, authorities said at the time. Colton police always suspected the couple and had arrested Hancock, but couldn’t obtain charges.
In late 2006, Don-Juan Hancock had started dating Talonia Henderson, 37, who had an adorable 15-month-old daughter, Talonia Kaye Johnson-Boutee.
Detectives arrested the mother on suspicion of child endangerment, however Henderson was not charged.Talonia Kaye Johnson-Boutee was found with blunt force trauma to her body. She died two days later at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
After Hancock became a suspect in the December 2006 beating death of another 15-month-old girl in San Bernardino, Colton authorities gained more evidence. San Bernardino County Deputy District Attorney Vicki Hightower, a recently hired specialist in prosecuting crimes against children, issued the complaint in both cases.
“We’re pleased,” said Colton police Detective Jack Morenberg. “It’s just a shame that another child had to die in the meantime. But we can only do what we can do and stay within the parameter of the law.” Authorities did not provide many details on what caused the charges to be filed this month —
more than four years after Amber’s death and nearly two years since little Talonia died. Morenberg said San Bernardino’s investigation helped Colton’s, and San Bernardino detectives said that theirs simply took a thorough review. “It was a very technical case that involved a lot of work,” said San Bernardino police Lt. Scott Paterson. “The DA’s office took its time, since the suspects were in custody and there was no public danger.
Hancock currently is serving a three-year state prison sentence violating his parole last January on a 2005 conviction of possessing cocaine base for sale, Henderson was later convicted of burglary and forgery, and is serving a state prison sentence, and Lightcsy’s status is unknown.
On November 12, 2008, Iyesha Lightcsy was arraigned in court, pleading not guilty to the charge of fatally beating her 15-month-old daughter, Amber Russell along with our friend Ivan.
Lightcsy was booked into Central Detention Center and her bail is set at $1 million bail. She will appear in court on November 20, 2008. San Bernardino County district attorney’s office, Vicki Hightower, reopened the case in September and filed the criminal complaint November. Hightower combined this case with a similar child beating from New Year’s Eve 2006 in San Bernardino where Hancock also is a suspect.
Talonia Kaye Johnson-Boutee, also 15-months, died from injuries nearly identical to those Amber suffered, investigators have said. Hancock and Talonia’s mother, Talonia Henderson, 37, are charged with murder, assault on a child causing death and child abuse in that case.

How horrible to take for granted the most precious things in life. Children are such a blessing. What the fuck is wrong with these people??
UPDATE AUGUST 09,2010: PressEnterprise Paper Riverside Ca
THIS IS MESSED UP…
Man sentenced in toddler’s beating death
12:27 PM PDT on Monday, August 9, 2010
A San Bernardino man was sentenced this morning to 15 years to life in prison for the killing of a 15-month old Colton girl in 2004.
The sentence, handed down by Superior Court Judge Arthur Harrison in a Fontana court room, was part of a plea deal agreed to last month by Ivan Hancock. He sat quietly next to his attorney and did not speak during the hearing.
Hancock, 48, pleaded no contest last month to one count of second degree murder in the beating death of Amber Russell, the daughter of this then-girlfriend, Iyesha Lightcsy.
Lightscsy also was charged with murder and later pleaded guilty to child endangerment. She was sentenced to eight years in prison.
Hancock was also charged with murder in the beating death in San Bernardino of Talonia Johnson-Boutee, who was also 15 months old when she died Jan. 2, 2007, after a New Year’s Eve 2006 assault.
That charge was dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Hancock will not be eligible for parole until he’s served a full 15 years in prison and will remain on parole for life, said Deputy District Attorney Vicki Hightower, who was to prosecute the case.

Great story Ms.BadAss. Great that everyone is keeping the stories coming in.
As for this slime bag, how could the ploice NOT arrest him? Why did it take for a second child to die before something was done about this man?
Ive been in shock this week at the number of cases of child abuse out there. And the cases are all so brutal.
Where does this end?
I believe you meant third…are my numbers off…am I reading that right? Did 3 kids have to die before they had a case strong enough to press charges on this guy??
Amy it will end when mankind is no longer on this or any other planet.
I always find it funny how many people think they are better than animals but yet humans are the ones raping and slaughtering their children and animals will die to protect their young.
I almost turned to stone when I looked at his picture. Nice to see the mothers get charges. I am tired of these stories. Child abuse should equal immediate sterilization. And the first person who says something about it being wrong to take away a person’s basic human rights… Should be SHOT.
i would run far and fast from a face like that. wth is wrong with these women letting him into their homes and near their poor children?
he looks like he’s up to no good. i am surprised he didn’t assault the poor baby girls in other ways first.
You gotta love that moustache though he looks like John Waters ethnic base head brother
Careful now, John Water is the man who wrote, produced & directed Pink Flamingos, one of the finest works of cinematic bad taste ever filmed. A man like that deserves our respect. If your dream is to see a grown man eat real dog shit, this is the movie fir you. Seriously though, It’s one of the funniest movies ever made, and one of my top 10.
As much as i love Flamingos (huge fan man believe me) my heart always lied with Desperate Living by far his weirdest and wackiest film
You do have a point Stormy & DL is one of Water’s best, maybe even the best, but I just gotta have my Devine fix.
I’ve been searching my whole life for a good woman like divine ;)
LoL stormy
Pink Flamingos can’t be beat guys… There is a guy that sings with his butthole in that one…
Are you fucking retarded?
Can’t say it’s not possible…
Hey Ivan, where did you find that ugly bitch?
First and foremost Ivan Hancock, love the hair. Hopefully his cellmate likes it as much as I do. Imagine, he’s going to have to tell fellow inmates that he’s a crackhead or a meth-addict because baby killing doesn’t really grant someone that much respect. I guess those little babies deserved it, tormenting this poor grown man with all the crying and the incontinence. Kids, will they never learn? You scream, I burn you once with a cigarette, scream some more and I’ll continue by beating your about the face and neck. How could they not understand this simple concept?
Sarcasm aside, this guy is truly a magnificent piece of shit. Congratulations you are going to hell.
That is some bad, bad hair….
alien vs. predator! look at that brow… sheesh.
Bitch yo mama look lyke a alien
Use English to insult people on this site, please. If the insult is unintelligble, how can you expect anyone to be insulted?
man i understand what everyone is saying but you sit there and talk about somebody you dont even kno and the only reason it hurts me regardless what she did thats my mother its 90billon people in tha world that have commited worst crimes then her and i have a friend tell me they read some thing online about my mom and my lil sister i dont kno were yall cum from but were im from somebody say some thing bout your mom you beat the shit out of i live my own i do my own thing the fucked up system fucked up my life and that bitch nigga ivan my mom was sick in the bed with my other twin sister that nikka ivan was just sisting in tha living room with my other two lil sister and my bby brother i didnt kno his get down i was 13 i didnt kno how he was i left tha house i checced bacc in like every hr tha last time i came home he was gone and sister was just laying on tha couch it not my mom fault i should have stayed home and it aint far that allof you are commiting on some shit yall dont kno shit about nu yall was there so shut the fucc up
Roman, let me be the first on here to say I am sorry what you and your siblings have been thru but we are not the ones to blame here. Yes there are lots of other cases like this one or worse but that doesn’t excuse this fucking worthless bastard for what he did to the 2 children he killed and the other kids that have to live their life without their mother and sister. You can not blame yourself for this disgusting act this sorry soul-less fucker did, if you were there you could have also been killed, you were just a child yourself. You can’t blame us for holding your mother at fault because I am still trying to understand how she never heard any commotion coming from the cries of that baby, sick or not, I think i’d hear my child(ren) crying and/or begging for help. This is not the place for you to be, i understand you want to defend your mother but blaming yourself and cussing at us isn’t going to help you. I hope and pray that one day you can get some grief counseling and realize it’s not your fault. PYSIH is for the victims of crimes, and you are also a victim….we are on your side here. You and your other siblings are in my prayers.
Ivan Hancock has been an abuser of children his entire life. The San Bernardino P.D. and the Colton PD should delve further into his background and find how he abused his own nephew, T. Burley and others. It is criminal for men like him to be in protective custody. He should be held with other violent felons and receive similar injuries repeatedly. May he rot in hell!
This story hits me deeply for two reasons 1) i have little children and 2) i work with this babies grandmother and it tears her up each day thgis man is not punished, mean while her daughter is also in jail so she gets the doubke the stress…

AND I HOPE THE OTHER INMATES IN PRISON MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF ALL OF YOU, ESPECIALLY U IYESHA! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM THESE TYPES OF SITUATION NOW PUT THEM IN THEM. BLESS HER OTHER TWO KIDS ALSO, BUT THEY ARE IN BETTER AND SAFER HANDS. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL GROW TO BE PRODUCTIVE INDIVIDUALS AND NOT HATE THEIR MOM, BUT FORGIVE HER AND MOVE ON WITH THEIR LIVES AS PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. I DONT THINK SHE REALIZES THAT SHE HURT ALL HER CHILDREN AND I SEND MY LOVE TO THE OTHER CHILDREN BECAUSE I SPENT ALOT OF TIME WITH THEM ALSO. LOVE CACHIMAY

Man fucc all y’all tlkn bad bout my mom she loved all us nd y’all dnt kno wat tha fucc she went thru we never had a good life that nigga ivan came and made it worst its not all her fault nd any body got sum10 else to say bout my mom hit me up roman.henderson20@yahoo.com and we could meet up and you could say tha shit to my face
Listen here sonny, because I’m going to lay some hard truth on you. I went to the San Bernadino County Superior Court website and looked up your mother’s record. Besides the charges related to that piece of shit Ivan Hancock, she’s hasn’t exactly been a model citizen, has she? I won’t dog you by publishing the specifics of her other cases – you already know, so what’s the point? I will say that she’s still in custody on one of those cases awaiting trial.
My point is, we are not the cause of your crappy life, Mom is, so lashing out at us isn’t very constructive. I admire loyalty, and I’m glad you’re sticking by her – Hell, we only have one mother – but the sooner you accept reality, the sooner you’ll be able to get on with your life.
I think you are owning a lot of guilt over all this. The things your mother has done don’t define you. You can choose to be whoever you want to be. You are Roman, and that’s all you have to be – you don’t have to be the son of a child abuser.
Roman, with all respect, you need to take a look at yourself and realize your mom doesn’t own your life, your future or the choices you make. YOU can be better.
I’m sorry your mom’s actions have caused you pain and made your life more difficult than some others. You’re right, we don’t know all of the details about her life. You don’t’ know all of the details about our lives either. Everyone has a cross to carry, you know that. It’s all about how you carry it, Roman.
Her actions and their consequences are her fault, I have to disagree with you. They are not, however, YOUR fault. You shouldn’t pay for her actions.
Roman, please don’t throw your life away the same way your mother has done. Unlike her, you have a chance to grow, learn, and become a respectable citizen of the United States. You should not carry the weight of her crimes, that should not burden you. There isn’t much more I can say that hasn’t already been said. If you don’t control your life and plan for the future, nobody else will do it for you, Roman. I hope and pray that you will mature into an outstanding young man who lives for himself instead of others.
