It was suggested that I should post this in the public forum instead of keeping it in Freepmail.
The monster who raped me is coming before the board of parole again. Every 3 years.
I ask that anyone who may have a reason to want him to stay behind bars, please consider writing the board (by email) expressing their thoughts about his release. He is a 5-time felon. The attack happened in Texas, the day before Thanksgiving, 1990. He broke 6 locks on my front door.
When he was raping me, he made it clear to me that I would not be his last victim. He told me that if I helped prosecute him, he would kill me when he was released. He also assured me that he would never again leave a witness. He told me he would kill next time because he wouldn't allow himself to be put back in prison.
I am blessed that I wasn't killed. I thank God every day for that blessing.
He is a five-time felon. Each one of his crimes was progressively worse than the one before. His attack on me was brutal. During the attack, he took every opportunity to make me feel inferior. He justified his attack by claiming I deserved it because of the way I dressed.
It's been 22 years since he attacked me, yet it feels like it was yesterday. I will always feel fear; I will always worry about my own children being attacked. I will always worry that he is around the corner waiting to kill me. I will always feel the need to watch over my shoulder. Please help me convince the board to not release him. Please help me convince them to make him serve his life sentence. Please help me keep them from releasing another sexual predator on the innocent.
Before they caught him, he ran to Florida to escape. I believe no state is safe from this monster.
Can you post to me when it’s an OK time to call you? It’s very important.
Awesome!!! Congrats!
Well, the best thing is to show up at the hearing and tell them exactly what you told us here. You provide the best evidence and demeanor for keeping this scumbag locked up. What have you got to lose?
I write a letter and I talk to one of the board members by phone...I can’t afford to GO to the hearing, but they call me and get my statement and then pass it around to the other board members. They don’t even hold hearings like you see in movies...one member talks to me and to the monster, takes notes, includes those notes in the file, casts his/her vote and mails the file to the next voting member. That one reads everything in the file, letters, notes, everything...casts their vote and mails the file to the next. ...and so on until they have the votes to either deny or grant parole. 2 “no”s and he is denied parole, 3 “yes” and he is granted parole. (to go back out and do something worse to the next victim).
