Ex-Boy Scout: I killed troop leader who raped me

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.

That probably earned him an extra 3-5 years, or possibly even the guilty sentence itself.

Just when did this happen?

The man looks a bit old. Looks like it was ages ago.

I think the punishment is OK, considering “extenuating circumstances”. Not sure we can go around supporting detached revenge, before that spins out of control and it starts happening left and right.

But certainly the punishment can be basically a “slap on the wrist”, especially if there is no other history.

Well unless the prosecutor is a legal idiot as well as socially clueless I would think he would have immediately objected to any such unfounded testimony and had stopped it and had it stricken from the record.

He was probably a cub scout when the molestation started at age 8 and graduated to boy scout when he was 11.

Works for me. Actually I still don't think the scale of justice is yet balanced. Other people likely need some pain for allowing this situation.

Um... you can’t be a Boy Scout when you’re 8. Eleven is the entry age.

Yeah, 8 is cub scouts, then 10 is Webelos, then 11 for Boy Scouts, if I remember correctly.

Suspect lazy reporting by a ‘reporter’ that knows nothing about the BSA, let alone a Cub Scout.

That’s a hate crime. Sodomites are allowed to be in the Boy Sodomites of America, right?

Exactly. The torturing and killing animals story seems a bit contrived too.

Not guilty.

Jury Nullification in the interest of Justice.

“That probably earned him an extra 3-5 years, or possibly even the guilty sentence itself. “

That and the snorting coke before going on his murder rampage.

I wonder is there any evidence the scoutmaster did this other than the claims of a drug addict killer.

Sounds like a case ripe for jury nullification. Killing your rapist is completely understandable.

What evidence is there that what he says is true?

Well there is that long string of similar accusations stretching back decades that the (not dearly) departed used his law enforcement position to slide out of.

From what I’ve read, it’s a common tactic used by serial molesters. They threaten to do the same to the victim’s parents if they tell anyone.

There'd be too many queers and bullies needing burial, right?

“Prosecutor Francis Koch said his office has agreed to a sentence of five-to-ten years because of the aggravating details of the crime.”

5-10 years....who was this guys attorney???? I think a good 1st year law student could have demanded a justifiable homicide plea....
