Jessica Marie Lunsford (October 6, 1995 – February 24, 2005) was an American nine-year-old girl from Homosassa, Florida, who was murdered in February 2005. Lunsford was abducted from her home in the early morning of February 24, 2005, by John Couey, a 46-year-old convicted sex offender who lived nearby. Couey held her captive over the weekend, during which she was raped and later murdered by being buried alive. The media extensively covered the investigation and trial of Couey. rdf:langString
L'omicidio di Jessica Marie Lunsford è stato un caso di cronaca nera avvenuto nel febbraio del 2005. Lunsford fu rapita dalla sua casa la mattina del 24 febbraio 2005 dal quarantaseienne John Couey, in precedenza condannato per reati sessuali, il quale viveva nelle vicinanze. Couey la tenne prigioniera per tre giorni, durante il quale la violentò, per poi ucciderla seppellendola viva. Il caso portò all’introduzione in Florida della Legge di Jessica (Jessica’s Law), volta a impedire a eventuali responsabili di reati sessuali di colpire di nuovo. Ciò condusse 42 Stati a indire una legge simile. rdf:langString

rdf:langString Jessica Marie Lunsford (October 6, 1995 – February 24, 2005) was an American nine-year-old girl from Homosassa, Florida, who was murdered in February 2005. Lunsford was abducted from her home in the early morning of February 24, 2005, by John Couey, a 46-year-old convicted sex offender who lived nearby. Couey held her captive over the weekend, during which she was raped and later murdered by being buried alive. The media extensively covered the investigation and trial of Couey. Jessica Lunsford's murder influenced the introduction of legislation in Florida known as Jessica's Law, designed to protect potential victims and reduce a sexual offender's ability to re-offend, which has since influenced similar legislation in 42 other states. On August 24, 2007, a judge in Inverness convicted Couey for the kidnapping, sexual battery, and first degree murder of Lunsford, and sentenced him to death. However, Couey died of natural causes in 2009, before his sentence could be carried out.
