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.
I’m having a hard time envisioning a Texan approving the release of a rapist.
Something else... Yer thinking the taurus judge or the new sw variant.
Charter Arms. .44 special aka the bulldog or the pug is a good cheap rig that with 200gr GDHPs from cci blazer is very effective. I carry one as a backup ankle rig to my .50GI Glock conversion CHL rig.
Stay safe. .... Trussel is a old an trusted freeper an a good gal. Help her if ya can.
I feel the same way about kids, dogs and women (or men that I care about for that matter).
I don’t cry at weddings, but that may change when my babies go on their way.
I admire you greatly for surviving what you have endured, and for standing up for yourself and others.
Is it possible to get anti-release publicity BEFORE the parole hearing? Especially in whatever media is influential in the area where the Board meets. The Board Members need to know there is a price to pay for releasing this felon. Mentioning the names of Board Members who voted for release before might be useful (unless this might antagonize them). If at all possible, come up with something the felon has said or done since the last hearing to provide a reason for them to change their votes to NO. Are there any womens’ groups at colleges, sexual assault hot-line groups, local politicians, etc., that you can get to contact the Board and speak out? (Who cares what their politics are.)
I would love to have the press ask this of Board Members: Would you allow this person to live in your home or the house next door to your family? If so, when will he be moving in with you? If not, how do you justify releasing him to prey on others?
If out of state letters are acceptable, please let me know the details, and I will send one.
If the Parole Board knows that the public is aware of this situation and that the public is upset about his possible release, they do take notice of that and it does affect their decision on release. The Board panel have to sign their names on documents that allow the guy to walk out the door and none of them want to be questioned as to why they thought he deserved to be released when there is another victim.
Is this his first Parole hearing?
Say hello to Lefty and his buddies for me. ;)

I'm more up front about things, but it was a neat toy.

Hey, I’m a gun nerd. Not in Squantos’ or Archy’s class, but who is?
Dewhurst pushed Jessica ‘s law, and for the death penalty. For tape. CRUZ bungled the case.
No, this is his 3rd. Late 2005, Early 2009, and now
I am hoping and praying the letters sent by FReepers will help sway the board in the right direction!

I wish there was a way to unrape a person. God grant you healing.
That should be death penalty for child rape.

Thank you. Even with the CCL and the training, the fear doesn’t get any easier. I never let my guard down. It’s hard to trust.
Excellent advice!
I agree...but I wasn’t a child in 1990
That being said, I would suggest following the advice many others have offered: Get yourself a pistol/revolver and learn how to use it REALLY WELL! Also, if he IS released, in addition to exposing him to the public, also make sure you "beef up" security on windows and doors around your place...
