Neff Admits Attacks

This guy is obviously a monster and needs to be removed from society.

i've never been in favor of capital punishment but this could constitute an exception. short of that this monster should never see the light of day.

There's people that are sick, there's people that are sickness. This guy is clearly a sickness. Predatory, calculated, cold. The ONLY answer is to remove this guy from society in 1 of 2 ways:
1) lock him up for life.
2) Terminate his existence.
I believe the 2nd option is much cheaper if the appeals process is not perverted by a scumbag defense attorney :) henry

S-C-U-M-B-A-G. SCUMBAG! And scumbags get raped in prison.

I knew one of his victims, one who would not come forward and testify against him in this trial because, even now, years after he abused her, this victim is still petrified of him. I have no objections to capital punishment in a case like this, but perhaps a better punishment is a very long prison term among hardened criminals where he can experience, for the rest of his life, what it is like to be on the receiving end of rape.

Exactly, the California Prison System is not where you want to be the rest of your life especially as a sexual offender.

Agreed! But there's those on the pacifistic side of the spectrum who feel that rape shouldn't be a part of a prison sentence because it is a violation of a prisoner's rights. Whatever happened to the rights of victims (such as Colossus' friend)? Oh, I forgot, in CA the criminal has more rights because after all, they're victims too. GIVE ME A BREAK!
Life in prison w/ everyday "rape therapy" or death penalty, give this scumbag either or both & keep him out of society.
He negated his contract w/ society, in the words of Donald Trump: "You're fired." :) henry

I don't think rape should be tolerated in ANY setting, regardless of whether or not you think that the person "deserves it" for their crimes. That's a flawed perception.

Having said that, this guy really is a piece of work and I'm convinced that if he is allowed to get away with this for the second time, he'll just keep going on doing it. And eventually, it will escalate. He's a textbook sociopath and he's going to kill someone if he's allowed to walk the streets. And not by accidental overdose.

He's a serial killer waiting to happen. If he's not already.

He really belongs in jail.

Poor little Steven Neff, maybe therapy will be a better answer. When he gets out maybe we can provide a loving home for him, and give him some money to help him out. Yes, he is the real victim in this I see that now. Maybe some of those pacifist will allow him into their home since he is the victim? Yeah right! Who are these jack***es ,er, I mean pacifists who believe this?

The culture of sexploition, and sexualazation of anything that walks in Santa Barbara is partly to blame for neff's sexual frustration, this man needs thearapy not incarceration at 50,000 dollars a year, He could also be an example that people can change, "yeah,... I said even sex offenders can change", this is a good time for santa barbara to take a look at it's culture of sex over all else, sweet dreams, you're friend in alaska

ps. what do you exspect is going to happen in a culture where the only sign that youre sucsessful is when you have a hot girl friend, or are getting laid, this man was failing in life and became jelous, and in an enviornment of total lack of caring and comunity he steped over that line we call phsycho, commiting horrible autoricties, like said, he needs help...

This story fails to mention that one of his previous charges was sexual in nature - although Neff wouldn't admit that either. Around 2004 he was near Mesa Lane, taking photos of some teenage girls sunbathing on the beach. One of the girls went up and confronted him and he may have grabbed her (can't remember). Then he ran, a police officer found him on the mesa & he hit the officer! He got off with a misdemeanor. Of course he's admitting that he injected them since the statute of limitations is up.
This guy is a con-artist perv piece of sh*t.

To Native1's point that rape is never justified even to the offender, I ask you what a simple question: What is justice? Is justice simply a punishment equal to what harm you inflicted on others, or is justice something more, something harder. What do you think is a just penalty for someone like this who has ruin lives through terror and perversion? In ancient times justice was swift and merciless, and there were few if any repeat offenders. In today's society, it is a revolving door from the penal system to the next crime.
And to Fiddler's point: If you are implying that this rapist and abuser should be given leniency because you think our culture drives people to this sort of conduct by exposing us to things that are sexual, I would ask you what your position would be if your sister, mother or daughter was drugged and raped by this man. Would you say in this circumstance that incarceration was too hard a price from him to pay, even at $50,000 a year. Can he change? Once would hope so, but would you be willing to put him up in your house with your family until the rest of us have evidence that he has made the leap from rapist to good, law-abiding citizen?

Real justice can only be determined by God, but I know what we can do to prevent this scumbag from victimizing unsuspecting females again. It might not be justice but it will do. In the 70's we tried to coddle these scumbags and what did we get? We got the Garridos, Davis, and other people who feigned being cured of their sexual victimization of little girls and women. I got a better idea lets send them to Alaska with fiddler so he can cure these scumbags.

When God shows up in court in a three-piece suit, he can judge them. Until then, as a society of laws, we have real and ultimate supreme jurisdiction in this matter.

Please leave God out of it. If he/she/it were real, it wouldn't have been asleep on the job and might have prevented it from ever happening. Because after all, it makes only perfect things, right?

Ridiculous.

Neff will be sent up for the remainder of his pathetic, twisted life and will most likely be spending what little money he earns in prison on anal salves and creams.

"Justice is mine," saith the Court.

The jury will be out about 10 seconds. Hopefully, the judge will impose additional time in view of the fact this sick monster not only committed these horrible devastating crimes but then took the stand and perjured himself. Thereafter, he should be removed from society for a very long time.

AZ2SB, this guy deserves jail, everybody agrees with that.. He obviously is completely delusional and needs to be separated from the rest of society.

But I'm glad that some here at least don't agree with your sadistic, callous spirit. At all.

I don't even agree that child rapists should be raped in prison. Why? Because first of all, MOST child rapists were raped as children themselves!! They need to be separated from society, yes, we don't need them raping children... But we don't need to torture them even more, either. They were more than likely victims themselves which is what caused their behavior. The entire thing is really unfortunate. Let's just lock them away like reasonable human beings, OK??

The SECOND reason why people should not be getting raped in jail is because there ARE plenty of people who have been falsely accused and imprisoned!!

Two great reasons why you are really really wrong and need to re-think your sadistic positions.

Loonpt, first of all, have you been to prison in CA lately? Do you even know what is going on in there through the media's eyes? Let me just tell you the media doesn't even see a small part of what goes on in there. A reasonable punishment? No, it might not be, but it will do. Second, do you believe Neff is innocent? Do you believe baby rapist just need understanding? Sorry, I might be "callous" but I also believe that there is something funny like "karma" in this universe. While Draxor believes in random acts I believe there is an order in this life and the next, and we all answer for our actions regardless of what has happened in our lives. God might be forgiving but I know we people are not. This scumbag will probably go on vicitimizing people in prison because he is a pretty big guy, but I hope it is not always this way and he is on the recieving end of a rape one of these days.

He is obviously a sexual predator...only women were his targets. Where does he get the Ketamine? There are some missing links to this story.

Time to put this dog down once and for all...by means of a lethal injection. how's that for irony?

Jesus God. Someone should do an article on the righteously malicious and tortured inner worlds of Indy readers. (Or at least Indy online commenters).

As long as I get my own action figure.

What is it about the west that produces these Ted Bundy look a likes? Let's just hope the judge and citizen's give this lifelong sociopath life in prison. Yes you the citizen
have such rights. You can vote these judges in and you can vote them out.
