Police Wednesday filed charges accusing a Pittsburgh woman of plotting with her incarcerated partner to drug and rape a 45-year-old friend in their Hazelwood home.<\/p>\n
Alicia Shay, 46, started messaging with Kevin Shay when he was taken to the Allegheny County Jail in January about \u201ccarrying out sexually violent acts\u201d against the friend, who police identify in court records as Jane Doe, and others, a criminal complaint said.<\/p>\n
Allegheny County Police charged Alicia Shay with one felony count each of attempting to rape an unconscious victim, conspiracy and criminal use of communication facility. She was awaiting arraignment Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
More than half of the six-page affidavit against Alicia Shay is filled with explicit text messages between the pair about what they planned to do with the friend after Kevin Shay\u2019s parents moved out of the Ladora Way home he shared with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry. She will be out cold. But I am entitled to it,\u201d Kevin Shay, 42, said in an April 17 text exchange, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as I get \u2018punished\u2019 after helping, I\u2019ll help,\u201d Alicia Shay later replied, the complaint said.<\/p>\n
The two also said they would \u201cmake sure there was nothing in the background\u201d of any photos that would implicate them, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is definitely the type to go to the police,\u201d Alicia Shay texted April 18, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
Allegheny County Police learned about the plan April 22 when a state parole official \u201cfound concerning messages\u201d from Kevin Shay on a jail communication system, the complaint said.<\/p>\n
Kevin Shay has been held in the Allegheny County Jail since January, court records show. He was arrested Jan. 13 on six felony counts of child pornography.<\/p>\n
A day later, a judge denied his bail during an arraignment hearing because he posed a \u201crisk to public,\u201d court records show.<\/p>\n
His nonjury trial is scheduled to start in front of Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Eliot Howsie in August.<\/p>\n
Court records show Kevin Shay is represented by the Allegheny County Public Defenders\u2019 Office, whose spokeswoman did not respond Wednesday to phone calls seeking comment.<\/p>\n
Alicia Shay\u2019s attorney was not listed Wednesday in court records.<\/p>\n
The relationship between Kevin and Alicia Shay was not made clear in the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police Wednesday filed charges accusing a Pittsburgh woman of plotting with her incarcerated partner to drug and rape…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74],"class_list":["post-238896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
