Kyle Accused of Sex with 13-Month-Old Girl
April 13th, 2010
Charges of rape, sodomy and promoting child pornography have been filed against California State University professor Kenneth Kyle and a suburban St. Louis woman.
Officials say the 13-month-old victim is the woman’s daughter.
Police say Kyle, 46, and the girl’s mother are jailed on a $2 million cash-only bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if they had attorneys.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, police found hundreds of images of child porn in Kyle’s home computer.
The woman is also charged with incest.
St. Louis County police are not releasing details of the crime but say the infant was rescued from a “horrific” situation.
The 13-month-old victim has been placed under state care and was treated at a hospital, the paper reports.
JEREMY KYLE ACCUSED BY HIS EX:
He was a real gambling addict and cleaned out my bank account Worse than guests on his show..if only I'd had a lie detector He told me he was dying and walked out on me and our baby He'd get angry if his shirt cuffs weren't ironed and call me a slut
In his daytime TV show smooth-talking Jeremy Kyle coaxes vulnerable couples into humiliating confessions of lying, cheating and worse. He eggs them on in patronising tones in a show a judge has slammed as "a human form of bearbaiting".
Yet one viewer is far from taken in by his fake sincerity... his ex-wife Kirsty Rowley, the mother of his 17-year-old daughter. Kirsty admits she too fell for the TV charmer, 42, and believed the slick patter that saw him nominated for a National Television Award last week.
But last night Kirsty said: "The man I married wouldn't have been out of place as a guest on his own TV show. The programme is crass, it's embarrassing - and for Jeremy to go on there acting like some kind of agony uncle is sheer hypocrisy. He was a liar."
Kirsty, now 39 and happily remarried with three young children, has broken a 19-year silence despite a threat from Kyle's lawyers to prevent our story being published. She tells how Jeremy:
Developed a serious betting habit.
Cleaned out her bank account without her knowing.
Pretended he hadn't got long to live when they married.
Would scream insults calling her a slut and slag.
Walked out on her and their five-month-old baby.
Drove a wedge between Kirsty and her best friend by pretending she had accused them of having an affair. Kirsty can't bear to watch the show now as it only serves to remind her of the way she was duped and deceived, until they were divorced 16 years ago. She says: "The truth needs to be told. After a divorce most people are able to make a new life but because of his notoriety I can't."
Kirsty and Jeremy met when she was a 20-year-old secretary in a recruitment consultancy in Bristol.
He was a new recruit, 23 years old, good-looking, charming and witty. It was a whirlwind romance... within a fortnight they were lovers, and a few weeks later he had proposed.
She now believes he was already beginning to spin a web of lies. "He told me he had gone through a painful bust-up with his fiancee after he caught her in bed with his best friend," Kirsty says. "I believed him, who wouldn't?
After we split, I found that he'd been saying much the same thing about me to his next girlfriend."
Kirsty says Kyle's cruellest deceit began at Christmas 1988, just before he asked her to marry him. "He told me he had a life-threatening heart condition and showed me a brown bottle of pills," she says. "I was shattered. I think that's what tipped us over into marriage. I wanted to give him some happiness before he died.
"After we married during one argument he said, 'I've seen a doctor today. I haven't got long to live'. He closed his eyes and looked pained. Well obviously he wasn't dying. Or it's been a very long death hasn't it?"
The story at the front is rather disturbing, but the way I look at it is, if he actually done that, he wouldn't be walking around the streets now, so from my eyes, his innocent, I don't know about what other people think, but that's me.
