Justice for Paitin Fields: 5 Year-Old Raped and Killed; No Charges Have Ever Been Filed

Five year old, Paitin Fields

Pender County, NC – On November 13, 2017, five year old Paitin Fields was taken to Pender Memorial Hospital after being sexually assaulted and strangled.

Paitin Fields died at New Hanover Regional Medical Hospital on November 16, 2017. To this day, no one has been charged with the violent and malicious attack of this precious young child which led to her untimely death.

According to news reports, Paitin Field’s uncle, David Prevatte, was a suspect in the case but this information was not revealed to the public until he threatened the lead investigator of the homicide case.

Prevatte has a history of violence and multiple criminal charges- including arson and larceny-which he pled guilty to.  Furthermore, David -who was there at the time of her death- has shown multiple expressions of racial hatred. This is extremely concerning as we know Paitin was of mixed ancestry living in a home with a man who had “KKK” on his wall at the time of the incident.

David Prevatte stated in an interview that he does not think Paitin was murdered even though autopsy results show evidence of strangulation and rape. He also failed a polygraph text on the day of her death. There are many shocking details in this case- some of which have now been released to public. Despite the evidence obtained (including a rape kit), no one has been charged for Paitin’s murder or rape.

We are asking that immediate steps be taken by the Pender County Sheriff’s department and DA’s office in order to properly identify and charge whoever did this. Paitin’s death was terribly tragic but what is also tragic is that the person who caused this tragedy has not yet been brought to justice. We are first and foremost asking that everything possible be done to get justice for Paitin Fields by having this case made a priority by the community and institutions at large.
