[wait for it people!!!!!]



With evidence a judge called the most disturbing thing he’s seen, Kerwin Summage will likely spend the rest of his life in federal prison.

U.S. District Court Judge John Jarvey sentenced Summage, 41, to 60 years in prison for making sexually explicit videos with the 10-month-old and 3-year-old children of his girlfriend.

A video played during Summage’s trial made one alternate juror sob, which then prompted a fellow alternate juror to console her, Jarvey said.

“It was so disheartening,” Jarvey said.

Summage remained defiant, claiming his innocence and railing on a system he says was unfair and biased against “this black man who dares to fight …”

Summage initially was arrested on Scott County charges of second-degree sexual abuse, prostitution, sexual exploitation of children, bestiality and child endangerment without injury after a search of an apartment at 1825 W. 40th St., Davenport, turned up graphic homemade movies in July 2004.

The investigation began after police heard Summage had paid a mentally handicapped man to have sex with a woman and videotaped it, according to search warrants filed in Scott County District Court.

Summage’s girlfriend, Melissa Mae Brown, is serving time on state charges in connection with the case and is expected to be released in July 2009.

Police said videotapes made from January 2001 to July 2004 include:

* Brown walking the streets of Davenport as a prostitute and picking up clients before returning to a car to describe the details of the sex acts and to hand money to Summage.

* Summage videotaping Brown during those acts of prostitution while children are in the back seat of the car at night during the winter.

* Summage performing sex acts involving a dog and videotaping Brown as she performs sex acts involving three different dogs.

The Scott County charges against Summage were dropped in lieu of federal prosecution on charges of producing and possessing child pornography. Those charges were filed in 2005.

After a motion to suppress evidence made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Summage then filed a request that the case be dismissed because of a violation of the Speedy Trial Act. The 2005 charges were dismissed in May after a judge ruled a violation took place, but they were refiled a few hours later.

The complaint filed in support of the first round of charges says that police seized sexually explicit videos involving prostitution and bestiality, videos that Summage appears to be directing or taping. His voice can be heard on some, and in others, he appears in a mirror holding the camera, officials said.

Furthermore, Brown told authorities that it was Summage’s idea to videotape her performing a sex act on her son and that he was the person who videotaped the act, documents state.

He’s been in custody, on Scott County charges and then federal charges, since December 2004.

Summage also has a case of sex abuse pending against him in Georgia.

If it wasn't bad enough to use a baby.... he thought he should push his directorial powers to make his own versions of; BangBus with the kids in the back seat; plus using the mentally ill as star power I'm sure will bring in the DVD sales... as for the dog? I guess he is just pushing the envelope of ART.... only in America... only in Davenport!
