Douchebags of the Week: Steven Kelsey Stabbed Sister in the Eye, Raped Her as She Died
There may be no greater feat of douchebaggery than to knife your sister and rape her as she dies. But Douchebag of the Week Steven Kelsey is not without competition. Say hello now to these not-quite-lovable losers...![]()
5) Kathy Borrego
As bad as she was at balancing the books, Kathy Borrego was even worse at gambling.![]()
The former business manager of the Jemez Mountain School District in New Mexico was found guilty last week of wiping out $3.4 million in school dollars between 2005 and 2009, much of which she blew on gambling and checks made out to friends and family.
"Ms. Borrego is taking responsibility for the allegations against her," her lawyer, Michael Jones, told the Rio Grande Sun. "She knows what's going on and wants to take responsibility for it."
Except for the part about payback, of course. All parties agree that the money is already gone, which may be why nobody bothered to seek restitution in the case.
Borrego, 51, was convicted on 11 charges including embezzlement and tax evasion, but could have faced countless additional charges. She's now looking at more than 41 years in the slam and a fine of up to $54,000 -- roughly 1/64th of her total haul over the last five years.
Charges against those who received checks from Borrego -- including her husband and her daughter's ex-boyfriend -- may still be forthcoming.
4) Michael Bowersock
All roads lead to Creeptown when Michael Bowersock is behind the wheel.![]()
The 27-year-old bus driver from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, was arrested after a seven-year-old girl accused him of spanking her on multiple occasions before allowing her to get off the bus.
The girl was the last one off Bowersock's route, according to the police report. Before reaching her stop, Bowersock allegedly would pull over and either force her to pull her pants down or yank them down himself. He would then lay her over a bus seat and spank her bare butt gently with his hand. The girl would remain bent over until he arrived at her stop, at which point he instructed her to pull her pants back up.
The alleged spankings took place between October and January, though Bowersock has faced similar allegations in the past since his hiring in 2007: A six-year-old girl said he pulled up her skirt while buckling her seatbelt in 2008, and a five-year-old accused him of spanking her in early 2009. He avoided charges for both allegations because two traumatized kids are not considered evidence in the state of Florida.
Now Bowersock is charged with lewd and lascivious molestation and has been suspended without pay. He will appear in court on March 2.
3) Werner Lippe
There's an old axiom in the U.S. legal system that says once you've admitted to whacking your wife and rendering her into charcoal briquettes, reneging may not go so well.![]()
New York jeweler Werner Lippe has learned this lesson amid his trial for murdering his wife.
When Faith Lippe disappeared during the couple's 2008 divorce proceedings, her husband claimed she had merely wandered off without a trace.
Within a month, however, he admitted three times -- twice to a friend wearing a wire and once to state police -- to killing his wife and rendering her into ashes in an oil drum.
"I hit her with a piece of wood...I dumped her in the barrel and burned her," a solemn Lippe could be heard saying on a recording played in court.
But at trial Lippe once again revised his story, this time saying he lied about Faith's death out of fear of being framed by investigators.
In the words of his lawyer, Lippe was "not mentally well" at the time of the admissions, which could possibly have something to do with the stress of having recently incinerated his lifetime companion.
A guilty verdict could net Lippe 25 years to life.
2) Phillip Dunn
It's beginning to look like married life doesn't agree with Phillip Dunn.![]()
Police in Suwanee, Georgia, say the 28-year-old father of two met his estranged wife in a Walmart parking lot to swap the kids on a recent Sunday afternoon.
But the handoff escalated into a fight that ended with Dunn stabbing his wife, then turning the blade on himself -- all while the couple's two girls, ages 6 and 8, watched in horror.
When cops arrived, Dunn and his wife were on the ground while a child screamed "Daddy!" from inside their truck. A silver kitchen knife was found in the truckbed.
"I don't want to die," Dunn was heard mumbling as he lay bloodied on the ground, according to police.
For wife Shelley, it was too late: She was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Dunn was arrested the next day and charged with malice murder and felony murder. Those charges follow another arrest of Dunn only two weeks earlier, when he allegedly tried to choke his wife -- an incident that resulted in charges of aggravated assault and battery.
1) Steven Kelsey Jr.
Nobody parties like Steven Kelsey Jr., and for this we should all be most grateful.![]()
Kelsey, 20, was found guilty of the rape and murder of his 17-year-old sister after a New Year's celebration in the first hours of 2009.
An army soldier on leave from boot camp in South Carolina, Kelsey was staying with his mother and stepfather at their mobile home in Highland Township, Michigan. As the festivities wound down, Kelsey stabbed his sister Jesika in the neck with a kitchen knife. When he saw that she was in pain, he tried finishing the job by thrusting a knife directly into her right eye.
As Jesika bled to death in the home, Kelsey attempted to have sex with her. He was arrested later that day when a backpack containing bloody knives and his Army ID was found in a nearby dumpster.
Kelsey will spend the rest of his life in prison, with no possibility of parole.
Oh yes, we've got more Douchebags: Matthew Higa Guilty of Throwing Child Off Bridge.



OMG, Steven Kelsey is one sick fuck!
Posted 02/22/2010 at 10:57:12 AMAs long as we are talking Georgia douchebags of the week, I nominate Robert M. Cook. He shot and killed Lt. Mike Vogt, a 30 year police veteran, last Monday because he was out drinking and driving and didn't want to go to jail on a DUI. See story here:
http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/accused-cop-killer-ordered-309827.html
Posted 02/22/2010 at 11:39:56 AMA fine nomination, CMM. I sent it over to Erich.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 11:51:06 AMI would also like to nominate Dr. Amy Bishop who shot up a meeting at University of Alabama, Huntsville because she didn't get tenure. It appears that this Harvard-trained crazy also shot her brother in 86 and mailed a pipe bomb to someone a few years later. While Huntsville, Alabama may be full of geniuses (in spite of what the outsiders think), it appears that violence is still likely.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 02:58:50 PMwhat kind of crazy crap is this?
Posted 02/22/2010 at 05:58:59 PMWonder what made this creep so twisted? Wonder if there were'nt any signs? Like maybe in the army? During his school years? His family ever notice he was off? I always wonder if signs git ignored or if there just truly were'nt any.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 06:02:08 PMYou guys are so lame. You could never inspire or know what it is to be a true pirate. I'm schooling all of you including mcr, (which is an issue that you can see Pete doesn't want to touch.) I have to upgrade my browser so I got to figure that out now. May take awhile I am old. Dear jadensmokes, why don't you just live? I know how painful it is and if you don't...........it will last last longer.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 06:04:51 PMRocki u could'nt school anybody with a chalkboard and chalk. U OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO LIFE! No opinion to anything but anti-dep's speeches. Long winded and drawn out to a painful point of no return. U are by FAR one of the lamest people on this site.Very insecure and u wear it every time u move those fingers and type.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 06:09:40 PMThe thing that I find so perplexing about this is the guy is obviously completely insane. He doesn't understand why he did this, and a mentally competent person wouldn't be capable of something so heinous without a gag reflex stopping them. As much as I never want him to see the light of day again, it puzzles me why insanity pleas are filed in some cases where the person just seems evil and selfish and opportunistic, and in others like this you don't hear about it. I tend to think prison isn't the place for this guy, he probably needs to live out his adulthood in a psychiatric ward.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 08:25:35 PMSteven Kelsey Jr. is a man bitch
Posted 02/22/2010 at 10:13:10 PMThe real douchebags are the people who write this column. You do a great disservice by calling these sick fucks "douchebags" -- a watered down term that doesn't begin to express the horror of their acts.
How about offering a few degrees of separation between a douchebag who fake tans and someone who murders and rapes their sister? Fools.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 10:49:13 PMUm, these people aren't douche-bags, they're sick. And this article isn't funny. Douche-bags of the week? Really?
Posted 02/22/2010 at 11:15:14 PMto J -
because blatantly violently fucked up people like that guy deserve prison rape. duh.
- g
Posted 02/22/2010 at 11:40:45 PMI agree, murdering and raping your sister is SUCH a douchey thing to do! This guy is as big a douche as The Situation. I wonder what's the next douchey thing he will do to top this? Get a fake tan??
(stop making levity of this sick crime by calling it "douchey" you stupid moron)
Posted 02/23/2010 at 12:21:55 AMPeople get over them calling this "the douchebags of the week." Its not like they could call it "the sick f*$#s of the week", which we all know they are. Jeeze its just a phrase. No one is trying to lighten it up with the word douchebag. Writers, unlike us, have to use a little restraint now and then.
Jenn,
I read that story on CNN.com the other night. She definetly needs to be on one of the douchebags of the week. What a psycho, killin people just cause she didn't make tenure. And then she kills her brother and it was ruled accidental, but now they may change it to homicide, I think it said.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 01:54:20 AMsince several million of society believes and acknownledges these men an women that rape and molest or torture their own siblings along with children are sick fucks
then why are we not the ones removing them from society as we see fit it's our world we vote to ask the government for regulations that are being violated with lame weed laws that cost billions of dollars to help us traffick and stay out of prison but the money never or message never makes it to the courts or police to arrest and permanently remove that trash from our streets our society we have to always be on guard....what the hell is the point to paranoia placed by one or two pedophiles or rapist kill those cocksuckers before the reoffend
Posted 02/23/2010 at 03:46:07 AMDidn't even read the article yet. I'm too annoyed at the repeated misuse of the word "douchebag". Killing and raping someone doesn't make you a douchebag. It makes you insane.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 08:39:53 AMI hope this guy goes away for good, and gets manhandled in the slammer. I'm so sick of these sickos, especially the ones who continually get away with it. They should be wiped off the face of the planet by law.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 11:02:29 AMAgreed, I always classify a "douchebag" as a person who is acting like a total asshole and is fully aware of it, doing it just for the sole purpose of pissing people off. Stabbing your sister in the neck, then the eye, then attempting to rape her as she lay bleeding out is just fucking sick -- there is no other way to say it.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 11:14:04 AMGood to see Steven Kelsey is putting tax dollars to work, no point in all that army training going to waste.
I wonder how he would of handled himself if faced with a member of the Taliban rather than a 17 year old girl ?
Posted 02/23/2010 at 11:16:03 AMRocki WTF is your problem? Must you stir the shit everywhere you post? I have grown so tired of your constant bashing of others here. Troll somewhere else. You've warn out your welcome here by other posters.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 11:38:18 AMYou trivialize the evil these people have done by calling them douchebags. Kanye West is a douchebag. These people are evil.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 11:43:01 AMYes, C, it's SO trivial now! I was going to grab my sawed-off shotgun and run out and try to find one of these people, but then I realized it says "douchebags of the week" and not "psychos of the week" and decided the whole thing was just too trivial.
Anyone who says anything like what C and the other complainers on this site have said are morons. Read the stories. If you think the word "douchebag" trivializes them, maybe you're the one that needs to change.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 11:54:06 AMmcr, you must have a different idea of what trivialize means and what that implies. Your example of grabbing a shwed-off shotgun is bizzare. Point completely missed.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 01:02:53 PMIt's now official. MCR is an idiot (and a douchebag).
Posted 02/23/2010 at 01:14:07 PMWhat a bunch of sick mother fuckers. The world would be better without them.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 01:20:35 PMtriv·i·al·ize
–verb (used with object),-ized, -iz·ing.
to make trivial; cause to appear unimportant, trifling, etc.
My point still stands -- If you read these stories and they somehow lose their importance or value because of the word "douchebag," you're an idiot.
Also, C...what exactly is a shwed-off anything? I didn't realize that was a word.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 01:31:43 PMThese are the people that need to be a part of a good ol fashion public hanging
Posted 02/23/2010 at 02:07:11 PMmcr,
You're arguing with yourself. Never have I said that the word "doucebag" makes the story lose its importance or value. shwed-off is a typo and you know it. Anything else you want to nitpick? diD I misCapitalize mY sentaNces? is it possible you could pick something else to mock? Probably.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 02:16:37 PM"You're arguing with yourself. Never have I said that the word "doucebag" makes the story lose its importance or value."
Posted 02/23/2010 at 02:18:11 PMThat right there just proved your stupidity because you said it was trivial and that's what trivial means, dipshit.
And I don't know how you went from the "a" to the "h" on that typo. Pretty weird.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 02:18:57 PMmcr,
Losing importance or value versus "causing to appear unimportant, trifling, etc." are two different things. Dipshit, moron, idiot, (did i miss another childish name you used?) dork, whatever....
Posted 02/23/2010 at 02:29:47 PMLOL...are you THAT stupid? Did you really just type that for everyone to see?? omg...lololololololololol!!!!!!
"Losing importance or value versus 'causing to appear unimportant, trifling, etc.' are two different things."
I'll go over this slowly so you can understand...
Losing - Declining in
Importance - Something that matters or has value
Causing to appear - Making something to look as though it is
Unimportant - Something that doesn't matter or has no value
So, they're the exact same thing in case you still don't get it. I'm seriously shocked that you would even respond with something that blatantly proves you have NO IDEA what you're talking about. Go study a dictionary.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 02:57:38 PMmcr,
Haha ok, you win. It's obvious to me based on other poster's comments that you're a troll on this website. I just wanted to see how far this would go. It's clear to me that no matter what I say, you're going to come back with a point that ignores what I say and you're just going to interpret things in ways that make you look like you know what you're talking about. So you win, you're never wrong. You're GOD. C-Ya. Oops typo. I have NO IDEA what I'm typing.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 03:44:42 PMNo, I'm not a troll by any means. It's just annoying when people come here and bitch about something that doesn't matter.
And I interpret things the way I see them. If you're wrong, you're wrong.
Just to clarify, a troll is someone who says really inappropriate things to get attention and start a big fight. I don't do that. I make a joke here and there, but I mostly stick to serious comments only.
Posted 02/23/2010 at 03:53:46 PMmcr,
Yea, you're not trolling at all. Huh? :)
Posted 02/23/2010 at 03:57:12 PMC, you can't argue with mcr, he's a law student who really knows his stuff--you will lose every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 02/23/2010 at 09:23:26 PMI'm a female, Mickey. Just an FYI.
Posted 02/24/2010 at 03:02:02 AMmcr, how old are you?
Posted 02/24/2010 at 04:44:47 PMI don't see how that's relevant, but I'm 24 in April.
Now I suppose you'll somehow use that against me. If you're just going to attack me, don't bother responding. I'm sick of that shit.
Posted 02/24/2010 at 05:10:40 PMmcr,
Marry me! :)
Posted 02/24/2010 at 08:58:26 PMArguing on t'internets is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win you're still a spastic.
Posted 02/25/2010 at 02:44:04 AMI think that saying ends with the word retarded, not spastic. Sorry sir or possibly ma'am. And another thing, did you catch a glimpse of that fat bitch up there? She kind of resembles Jabba the Hutt...Perhaps they were separated at birth?
