To the dismay of his victim, a man convicted last year of sexually assaulting a University of Virginia classmate in 1984 is scheduled to get out of jail after serving only six months of an 18-month sentence.
William N. Beebe, 42, pleaded guilty in November to one charge of aggravated sexually battery and was sentenced in March to 10 years in prison with all but 18 months suspended.
Beebes projected release date is now Sept. 17, according to Virginia Department of Corrections records.
News of the impending release shocked and angered his victim, 40-year-old Liz Seccuro of Greenwich, Conn.I never thought Id be looking over my shoulder so soon, Seccuro wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.
Beebe was charged last year with raping Seccuro at a UVa fraternity party in 1984, when both were students at the school.

Latin AND French, Bruno??
Do you mind me using this one sometimes??
(blushing) I’m sorry. Brujo(slapping forehead)
The French is more recent. I acquired a smidgen while working in France.
I know, I just KNOW that somewhere in America we still have real men....
even when people are convicted in this country we still apparently have liberal bleeding hearts like some on this thread that think we should just "forgive" and forget.....
my dtr...no.....of course you can allow anything at all to happen to dtrs....
Boy that’s a stretch. That’s not what I said at all. Do you always make stuff up like this?? Have you considered getting help for that??
It was not a date rape - find the original statement from Police Chief Tim Longo. It was a stranger rape. But really, what is the difference? Rape is rape. He was a stranger. He stalked me for nine years with the help of the University of Virginia. I wish the media would get the facts straight.
And of course, I am frightened by this narcisstic sociopath. He did, after all, write the letter to my HOME. We’ve already moved. Yes, this “CRAP” you say about looking over my should is indeed the case.
So, I should “stay out of it?” That’s impossible to do when you must testify, etc. in order to help people like you to understand the horror of rape. Please don’t blame the victim.
I don’t think i blame the victim, and if you are really her, then I was wrong about the facts, or lack of facts, that I thought I understood.
I’m not against him being incarcerated. I just wasn’t sure about the victim having a say, or this much say, about the sentence itself. Not that I think the victim should remain silent at the board hearing either.
In fact, much of my thoughts on this are still undecided, and apparently I was wrong about the case itself as well.
Actually, this whole thing is so alien to me that it’s hard for me to even comprehend all this. and thank God it is. I wish this sort of experience was alien to everyone.
Beebe had originally been charged with rape and object sexual penetration and could have received life in prison. But in November, he entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge after investigators uncovered information suggesting Seccuro was attacked by more than one person that night.
Apparently, there is still uncertainness as to exactly what happened that night.
Also, because the crime occurred in 1984, the parole rules in effect at the time governed.
I’m outta this one. I’ve tried to discuss it and get my thoughts straight and talk it out and work out what I believed. That’s not allowed here.
You must think in lockstep with a certain viewpoint. Even to the point of calling in someone claiming to be the person raped.
Thanks though, for your post.
I have no clue what you're talking about. Did you mean to post to someone else?
No, I was referring to posts above.
I’m curious about this stalking and looking over your shoulder. I was under the impression that the reports said you saw him last when he delivered a pizza to your sorority and that you had’t seen or talked to him since then. I think it was reported also that he tried to write you once or twice before this time but the letters never arrived or something. Are these reports incorrect?
The emails that were part of the Dateline show, did the piece say you were the one who emailed him first? Were there not a number of emails between both of you? I must ask, if you are saying you moved because of this guy, where is the stalking you mention and why would you give him more information about yourself if you were worried he would come to where you live? That doesn’t seem very careful.
