“She credibly expressed remorse in this courtroom.” “Miss Vaught is well aware of the seriousness of the offense,” the judge said.

Murphey died, a part of me died with her. Vaught issued an apology during Friday’s sentencing. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Special Agent Ramona Smith took the stand Friday and “testified that she thought Vaught was forthright, but not remorseful during her interview with the TBI after Murphey’s death,” according to WTVF. According to the AP, Vaught reported the incident as soon as she realized what had happened. Instead, she was given the paralytic drug vecuronium, which caused her to be unable to breathe,” WTVF noted. “Murphey was supposed to be given Versed to ease her anxiety before a PET scan.

The TV station promised that “management is looking into” the allegations, and “the employee will remain off the air until the situation is resolved.” They note that “No charges have been filed in connection with the video.” The local group that posted the video claims that the employee engaged in inappropriate behavior.” “WETM has been made aware of a video posted to YouTube regarding one of our employees.

In the messages, the man allegedly said he wanted to “play doggie” with the fictional boy and give him “kisses,” and also asked whether the teen has had sex with men, enjoyed oral sex, or enjoyed “sexy” pictures. When asked why he told the fictional underage boy that they were going to “cuddle” together and “watch a movie” at the fictional minor’s house, the man said he was just trying to “be nice to the kid.” “Why do you guys do this to gay and lesbian people?” the man asked. Still, he blamed those filming for the ordeal. In the video, it was revealed that the fictional boy told the man that he was nearly 16 years old. The confrontational group then explained to the man that the “chat logs” – online conversations that appear to have taken place before the meet-up on the gay dating site known as Growlr – indicated that he knew the fictional boy was underage. “I was here to talk to that kid to get him off of these apps.” “I thought the kid was 18,” the man said, denying that he sought to engage in sexual activity with the fictional minor.
