Glendale girl, 16, faces trial as adult in death of boyfriend during sex

Source: AZCENTRAL.COM

The 16-year-old girl arrested in Glendale on Saturday in connection with strangling her 43-year-old boyfriend during sexual activities will face trial as an adult after the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office agreed to charge her with second-degree murder, according to court documents.

Glendale police say Jessica Burlew used an electrical wire to choke Jason Ash during sexual activities. When Ash seemed to have passed out, Burlew told officers she cut him with a razor to get him to respond. She told officers that she continued to cut him to relieve her own stress, according to the documents.

Ash was declared dead at about 5:45 p.m., according to the documents.

Burlew told police she and Ash would often engage in these types of activities prior to sex, according to the documents.

Update to a story posted yesterday, now she's being identified and charged as an adult.

So she's being charged as an adult for committing the crime of murder while participating in the crime of rape (hers) because she wasn't old enough to consent or something.

I'm so confused, but you can bet Nancy Grace is warming up the jet as we speak.

What a trial this will be.

she suffered from schizophrenia and autism-today her name is plastered all over and no mention of mental disabilities or the fact that her partner was committing a crime in having sex with a minor he was 43 and she's 16 what gives with all of this?

This girl was in serious distress and stress from continued rape and abuse. She is disabled. She could not consent to his kinky sicko little world. So what does her mother know? And what was her involvement in this? Because she allowed it.

So the sick twist that is a year younger than my husband was "having sex" (says the autistic minor) with her regularly - and engaging in his kink? Auto asphyxiation? Her so-called *puke* boyfriend!

I hope this kid has a really good attorney. . And her mother allowing her child who is disabled to be used like that . . . She's a sick twist too.

old man?? one wonders what THAT relationship was all about?




I wonder how many 16 year olds who are not schizophrenic or autistic know the term "auto-erotic asphyxiation" and this,
O'Neill said that Burlew told police the pair was involved in a 'consensual sex act involving strangulation,' but that things went wrong.
