Clarksville woman pleads guilty to false rape report

CLARKSVILLE,Tenn. – A Clarksville woman pleaded guilty to lying to police about being raped at Dunbar Cave when she had solicited the rape to fulfill a sexual fantasy.

Kayla Bowen, 24, entered a guilty plea to false report to officers, a Class D felony, Friday in Judge William Goodman's court.

Bowen agreed to a three-year judicial diversion and will have to undergo a psychosexual assessment.

According to a previous report, Bowen reported to police that she went to a park at 2:23 a.m. on Aug. 5, and after sitting in her car for a couple of hours, a man approached her, asked for a light, then beat and raped her.

A Clarksville Police investigation uncovered a Craigslist ad she posted titled "Have a deep dark fantasy." In the ad, Bowen said she wanted to be raped and for anyone who responds to say how they would do it and why, according to her arrest warrant.

Her phone records showed she made contact with two people the night she reported the rape. Texts revealed she told the individuals she wanted to be duct-taped, gagged, then sexually assaulted, which would include but not be limited to broken arms, black eyes, a broken nose, fractured ribs and other injuries.

In a text Bowen sent Aug. 4 at 11 p.m., she said she was sitting at Dunbar Cave park in her car and it was a perfect place for the rape, the warrant said. She then texted, "I'm 100 percent consenting to be raped," according to the warrant.

When no one came to the park, she went to an address on Cyprus Court, where she engaged in consensual sex and was assaulted, resulting in bruises, abrasions, ripped clothes and a chipped tooth, the warrant said.

Woman pleads guilty to statutory rape of girl

A Clarksville woman accused of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl pleaded guilty and agreed to jail and probation.

Sasha Yvette Phillips, 26, was charged with two counts of rape of a child and one count of aggravated statutory rape.

According to Kimberly Lund, assistant district attorney, in June 2011 an investigation began after an 11-year-old girl disclosed that when she was 10 years old she engaged in sexual activity with Phillips and Phillips had raped her.

An item used in the sexual assault was analyzed by Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents, and Philips and the victim's DNA was found on it, corroborating the child's story.

Phillips denied the assault.

Friday in Judge William Goodman's court, she accepted the facts of the case and pleaded guilty to three amended charges of aggravated statutory rape.

She was sentenced to serve one year in jail and nine years on state probation. She must register as a sex offender and undergo sex offender treatment. She is to have no contact with the victim.

Phillips had 180 days of jail credit and satisfied the jail portion of her sentence.

Rose would then give the information she collected to Curtis Shelton, who would then allegedly burglarize the homes.

Rose pleaded guilty to two counts of facilitation of aggravated burglary and agreed to a total sentence of four years on state probation. She must also testify against Shelton.
