New charges coming, police say

PETERBOROUGH -- Stanley Tippett's wife, five children and fiancee were in court Monday morning as he learned new charges, beyond those he already faced for kidnapping and sexual assault, were about to be laid against him.
His wife and fiancee had just found out about one another since the Peterborough man's arrest last week and sat together in the courtroom as suggested by Mr. Tippett's mother, Susan Anderson.
"I want to see his reaction," she said.
Mr. Tippett was stone-faced in court, looking over at his children. They included his son Ryan, 10, who read out a letter outside the courtroom, essentially disowning his father.
"You are not my father," Ryan read from his letter. "A loving and caring father would not hurt his family this way.
"Don't ever talk to me again and never call me your son again."
Ryan said he wanted to ensure his father knew how he felt.
"I want him to stay in jail and never come out," said the small boy, dressed in a suit.
Mr. Tippett's bail hearing was held over until Thursday.
His reported fiancee, Felicia Neals, who only recently found out Mr. Tippett was married, had no comment, but her friend, Dawn Mabey, said Ms. Neal is "not very happy."
Last week, at Mr. Tippett's first court appearance, Ms. Neals was said to be pregnant.
"She lost the baby on the weekend," Ms. Mabey said.
Mr. Tippett's children were with his wife Natalie and were quiet in court. But outside, his young daughter was heard crying and yelling, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy."
There was a reason to bring all the kids to court, Ms. Anderson said.
"My daughter-in-law brought the five children because she wanted him to feel the hurt," she said. "She wanted him to see what he's losing."
Mr. Tippett was arrested last Wednesday morning after a 12-year-old Peterborough girl was allegedly abducted at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. She had left a birthday party in south Peterborough. She was sexually assaulted and left at Courtice Secondary School, police say.
Natalie Tippett said her husband told her he had been carjacked and dumped in Bowmanville.
He was eventually arrested, in his uncle's van, at about 8:40 a.m. Wednesday in Manvers Township.
Court heard new charges were pending, but Peterborough Lakefield Police spokesman Walter DiClemente said he could not confirm that until the charges were sworn in court. That's expected to happen later today.
