If I may, I would like to pepper this conversation with some facts.

Honestly, if Cybrus is convicted, we will likely never hear from him (or about him) again. People get fucked up in jail all of the time and nothing is reported.


It is true that assaults, rapes and murders happen in prison. But it is also true that these things happen in the community, amongst law-abiding citizens.

One of the elements of security in a prison is maintaining order - the chances of a riot or an escape are higher if the internal environment is chaotic. One thing that they do to prevent a breakdown in order is to keep those who are convicted/suspected of being pedophiles in their own "wing" or cell block, etc. This is to prevent these people from being beaten and raped and murdered. This isn't the only element of segregation - people from different gangs are obviously not kept in the same areas, where possible.

Cybrus, if convicted, will be in a section of his prison that is reserved for people who have committed similar crimes, away from almost every other group in that prison, all of whom will probably want to hurt/kill him.

Do they eventually get Internet access in prison? I don't want him coming on here and banning me out of jealously for winning our feud


According to Wikipedia, American prisoners have access to text-only emails. So it sounds as if you will be safe.

Will you be doing anything about his account _DL_? If I remember right there's no way to remove the member who created the forum from his position as Administrator, but perhaps you could reset his post count or something similar so he wouldn't be viewed on the Top 10 Posters so 6SW would no longer be associated with him and his crimes? If members read that Announcement they could be turned off from joining the forum.


This is a terrible idea. First, it would do little good. What proportion of people do you think have already/will ever find out about the announcement DL put up by first looking at the list of the top 10 posters? (The answer is zero). Also, this forum doesn't attract many new members anyhow.

Second, it will bury the truth. You're not special, and you are not more capable of reading about the truth than anyone else. Everyone who is a member of this forum deserves the same chance you had, to discover the truth about their former colleague (should he be convicted). As DL said in that thread - honesty is the best policy.

Third, rumours would percolate through the cracks in any ban upon mention of Cybrus's name/crimes, imo.

Apparently South Carolina still lists the offence that Cybrus has committed as punishable by the death penalty. However, carrying out that punishment would be illegal, given that the US Supreme Court has said that it is unconstitutional to apply the death penalty in such cases.

How awful.
From what I understand, the 1st degree charge, sexual assault with a minor under the age of 11, is the one with the death penalty. But, it only applies if the minor dies as a result of the assault. So, that would not apply in this case anyway. It does, however, have a minimum sentence of 25 years to life. So, if convicted on this one charge alone he would get at least 25 years in jail with the possibility of life in prison.
You are correct. But my memory failed me. What I should have said, is that it used to be the case that repeat offenders of what Cybrus has been charged with were at risk of the death penalty without an accompanying murder charge.

So yeah, your assessment looks to be the correct one.

J.J.S.

My brother was accused of sexual assault when he was 17. His ex-gf (who was 15) went to the hospital with stomach pains a little while after they had broken up. She found out she was pregnant, and since she didn't want her mother to know that she was sexually active, claimed it was rape. My brother was arrested, but let go a day or two afterwards. Law enforcement knew something was up, because this kind of false claim is supposedly a very common occurence among teenagers. However, while the police suspected that my brother didn't rape her (and she eventually admitted as such), the swab test they ran proved that he did have sexual contact with her.

That last sentence is important, because I'm going to assume that they've done a similar test with Cybrus' DNA. Combine that with the fact that A) he is 33 years old, not 17, with the girl being under 11 B) one crime happened as recently as November 2016, which coincided with an absence from here and C) two other girls came forward, and it's pretty damning. That's not even mentioning the odd behaviors which have been alluded to elsewhere in this thread. If he's somehow innocent, then he still made the poor decision (or at least had the misfortune) to get mixed up with someone who can find three people to lie about being sexually assaulted by him.

I see some folks in here hoping he is innocent because it would be a shame if a person they knew for years ended up being a bad guy; you should hope he's innocent because it means three young girls weren't the victims of sexual assault. But it's not looking good. What's the motive for lying? Getting ahold of his sweet, sweet Sam's Club management salary? Winning a custody battle against an unmarried, childless guy?

By the way, just as innocent people can end up in jail, guilty people can be let off the hook. And the way prisons are run does not necessarily correlate with the way they're supposed to be run. The American justice system is rampant with problems; it's not just the police out on the streets who wield their power in the wrong way.

They still got my brother on a technicality since him and his ex were both under the age of consent (although the charge wasn't rape, and he only had to be on probation for a year, with no jail time) so... unless Cybrus' lawyer is an all-star and there's zero evidence against him, it's not looking good. He likely had been in jail following the initial accusation before being released, and if so, his more recent arrest suggests they found further incriminating information.

Also there's not a chance in hell that someone accused of sexual assault of a minor is being allowed anywhere near an internet connection for a long time.

P.S. When I was 15, Cybrus would have been 19/20, and I remember him giving me a link to a teen discussion forum that he seemed to be familiar with when I was having girl troubles. It could just be an unfortunate coincidence, but it's one of those things that pops out now.

This sort of reasoning is dangerous. The fact that you can generate a couple of outlandish motives does not prove that there is no relevant motive.

Yes. That is the way the system is supposed to run. I think it was Blackstone who said something along the lines of, "it's better to let 10 guilty men walk free, than to imprison one innocent man."

To anyone who disagrees, I say this: those people who knowingly permit a justice system to do wrong to innocent people, in order to reprimand other wrongdoers, fall into the realms of criminality by falling afoul of the stated goals of the criminal justice system.

Obviously there is never a perfect system, and accidents are going to happen. But one of the best things we can do to prevent against locking up innocent people, is to practice constant vigilance when it comes to considering whether someone is guilty.

The sort of reasoning used in this thread (by some, in some places) is the same sort of reasoning that has led to wrongful executions in the past. I think we need to bear that in mind.

J.J.S.

We are taking into consideration odd things he has posted, which absolutely have become relevant in light of what he has been accused of. It's entirely within the realm of possibility that this girl's mother is lying about his connections to these crimes, and she recruited two women to say he molested them in the past (they'd both probably be adults now, since his third degree charges are for girls in the 14 - 16 age range), but it's not unreasonable to think that the list of possible explanations as to why he might have been falsely accused of sexual assault is slim. He strikes me as the kind of individual who would have been open about being involved with a crazy person who had it out for him, and one of the several people who he was close with on this very forum over the years probably would have brought it up. Perhaps me typing this will rekindle a memory for one of them.

You're a criminal investigator. A man has been charged with sexually molesting two minors, and having intercourse with another over the course of twelve years. During your research, you come across a few posts of his online, since this is a sexual assault case involving multiple people across a decade and looking at a defendant's internet search history is a thing these days. It mentions that he completely blacked out his windows because he hates to let the light in. Kind of weird, right? People can't see inside of your bedroom if your windows are blacked out. Then you find his blog post where he says that he sleeps inside of a sleeping bag, and he makes sure to buy extras for when his nieces come over. Hey, this other person remembers his claim that he did sexual things he couldn't actually admit to, because they "wouldn't want to talk to him anymore." None of these seem like red flags in light of what he was arrested for? We're talking about supposed 12+ years of behavior year, with three known victims.

We're all working off of the same information here, and we're all just laypeople. If he's innocent, and all of these things can be explained away (meaning his actual charges, not the hypotheticals in my second paragraph which admittedly will probably never come into play), then hopefully he has a good lawyer who can pull this off. Even if he genuinely is guilty, a good lawyer could argue down his charges, though Cybrus' age compared to the girls doesn't make that a huge possibility.

We'll probably be able to find some kind of information RE: how the trial went and can determine whether it was handled correctly at that point.

EDIT: I don't think a criminal investigator would discover that his windows were blacked out because they came across it in his internet history... they'll think it's weird because they went into his fucking house and saw it!

Just on this part, I'd like to think not :-/ . I have book shelves set up in front of the windows of my bedroom to block out most of the light. My room faces toward the sunrise, so it can get fairly bright and hot in the early mornings. It often made sleeping difficult at around those hours. I do like the privacy as well.

For a person that worked on night shifts for many years, when you have to sleep in the daytime, you want your bedroom to be as dark as possible during the day. I chose to go with really dark drapes but I have known others that blacked out their windows as well. It's common for 3rd shift workers and has little to do with the charges he is accused of. We don't even know if the alleged incidents took place in his home.

We don't know much of anything beyond that he was arrested and what he was accused of. Just seems like a weird thing to do from an outsider's point of view and if it's a coincidence then it will be disregarded as such.

I was gonna say, I have room darkening shades for overnights and one of my co-workers when I used to work at CVS used to put foil over her windows to not let any sun in. I don't think that part is suspicious at all.

If I were a criminal prosecutor/defense attorney, I would be sure to veto you off the jury, because you find "red flag" significance in the fact that someone likes to sleep in the dark.

The one thing that I keep going back to when I try to think if he could be innocent, is that a child went to the hospital. A child under 11 was hospitalized. That's a fact. Cybrus was investigated for 9 weeks before being arrested. Another fact. Something other than just accusations linked Cybrus to this. Something substancial. I have a hard time thinking that theres no way he didn't do something extremely wrong here. Cybrus is a guilty man. And I think that's clear.

I also find it interesting, looking back through Cybrus's posting history, the dates in which he stopped posting. Sure his posting had slowed down, but all of ours did. He posted pretty much every day up until nov 12. From Nov 12th to Dec 14th Cybrus had a total of 4 posts. During that month was when the alleged assault took place. After Nov 14th he went back to posting almost every day until the day he was arrested.

Now is the timing just a coincidence. I mean he did make a post explaining his reasons for now being around anymore. He also made several posts about how horrible his life is and how hes been experimenting with sleeping pills and alcohol.

If you search for "D J Rhodes" on the Spartanburg County Seventh Judicial Circuit Public Index, you should be able to keep tabs there. I also wouldn't be surprised if a news outlet picks up on the verdict.

From what I can see, it looks like they filed for a continuance and got it. So basically they postponed it and got more time to prepare the defense I assume.

There wasn't going to be any verdict in a preliminary hearing. FYI, there will be a verdict re guilty v not guilty after the main set of trials in about 5 months time. If guilty, then the trial will move into the sentencing phase. After the sentencing hearings, Cybrus's actual sentence (e.g. 12 years in prison) will come out. That'll probably be another couple of months after the next set of hearings.
