It was a joyous morning (4:00 am), in a casino arcade [at Primadonna Casino 45 miles South of Las Vegas], 7-year-old Sherrice Iverson played while father, Leroy Iverson gambled the night away. Sherrice like any adorable 7-year-old, ran through the casino with bliss. She met a male child who was around her same age, they began to throw wet paper towels at each other (innocently). One of Sherrice Iverson's paper towels hit a white male by the name of Jeremy Strohmeyer.
Jeremy Strohmeyer followed Sherrice into the bathroom, sexually assaulted her, killed her and returned home.
The child and her attacker are visible on casino videotape that was used in court.
This story caught limited media attention at the time and quickly faded to avoid the negative focus on an industry that survives solely by creating addiction. No question was ever asked about casino culpability.
There are many more stories for those who listen: AFTER-EFFECTS: CHILDREN
