A former Boy Scout confessed in emotionally charged court testimony to killing his former troop leader, but said it was due to the repeated sexual abuse and rape he suffered at the hands of the man, beginning at the tender age of 8.
“From the time I was 8 years old until I was 12, I was sexually assaulted and raped by Dennis Pegg,” said Clark Fredericks, a former scout who spoke in a tense Newton, New Jersey, courtroom about the reasons for his killing.
Pegg also served as a Sussex sheriff’s officer, NBC New York reported. He was killed three years ago and Fredericks admitted to the crime.

Part of the reason Fredericks said he kept silent was because he didn’t think anyone would believe him, due to Pegg’s police badge, and part was due to fear.
“Dennis Pegg controlled me by torturing and killing animals in front of me, saying he would do the same to me if I told anyone about our secret,” Fredericks said.
It was while watching the rape and sexual abuse trial of Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky in 2012 that Fredericks said he “cracked,” NBC New York reported.
He told the court the next day he drank alcohol, snorted cocaine and grabbed a hunting knife Pegg had given him as a gift in the Boy Scouts, and headed with a friend, Bob Reynolds, to Pegg’s home.
“I started stabbing Dennis,” Fredericks said. “I said, ‘How does it feel raping little kids now. It’s not so fun raping little kids now, is it?’ At the end, I slit his throat.”
The courtroom broke into applause after Fredericks finished testifying, shocking the prosecutor, NBC New York reported.

The kid is a homphobe.
“Prosecutor Francis Koch said his office has agreed to a sentence of five-to-ten years because of the aggravating details of the crime.”
I would have never charged him.
well we won’t see this over the media tonight or any night.
The boy scouts don’t care. They just surrendered to the pedophiles.
Justice served cold?
Good goin..!
They ought to invent a new merit patch for that..!
Now there’s a jury I’d love to serve on.
Should have gone with a jury. He’d walk if I were on it.
Good goin..!
They ought to invent a new merit patch for that..!
Cool! Slit his throat! Good job! Had I been present I would have applauded as well.
Let him walk.
Pegg... Pig.
this story cant be. There are no gay scout leaders who would ever touch a boy.
The courtroom broke into applause after Fredericks finished testifying, shocking the prosecutorThat prosecutor, like most who are "that high" in the legal profession, lives in a bubble.
Forgot the shovel and shut up part.
Snorting cocaine eh.
Gays as troop leaders? What could go wrong?
I want to ask Prosecutor Francis Koch why he loves pedophiles so much?
Um... you can’t be a Boy Scout when you’re 8. Eleven is the entry age.
What evidence is there that what he says is true? I tend not to trust murderers.
Good job, nice clean kill!
