Ex-Boy Scout Admits Killing Fag Former Troop Leader Who He Says (Homo) Raped Him
   A former Boy Scout pleaded guilty Wednesday to killing his troop leader, who he claimed had raped him over many years. In a tense and emotional courtroom in Newton, Clark Fredericks admitted to killing former Boy Scout leader and Sussex sheriff's officer Dennis Pegg three years ago. "From the time I was 8 years old until I was 12, I was sexually assaulted and raped by Dennis Pegg," said Fredericks. He said he never told anyone about the rapes even as, he claimed, Pegg also raped his best friend Jeff. Jeff committed suicide in 1983, Fredericks said. Fredericks graduated high school, still keeping the secret from his parents. "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," he said. "I started stabbing Dennis," Fredericks said in court. "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." Family and friends of Fredericks wept almost nonstop as he spoke. And then as he got up to leave, applause broke out in the courtroom, something the prosecutors said he'd never seen before. One of those crying and applauding was Rose Funari, who said her own brother a victim of Pegg. |

The relationship progressed to physical intimacy, kissing and touching before the girl turned 18. Soon after she turned 18, the woman said, they had intercourse twice.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – James Daniel III, 33, known as the 'early morning' rapist, was sentenced Wednesday to 144 years to life in prison for a series of attacks on women. The attacks occurred over Labor Day weekend last year and in 2000. Cuyahoga Common Pleas Judge David Matia referred to Daniel's lengthy criminal history while delivering his verdict. That history includes a three-page juvenile record as well as a series of burglaries, robberies and felonious assaults going back to 2000. "It is evident, going through the timeline, that Mr. Daniel does not waste much time between being released from prison and committing another crime. He will not be given the opportunity to do that again," Matia said. In April, a jury found Daniel guilty of a series of rapes and robberies on the city's West Side and in Lakewood over Labor Day weekend of last year. Prosecuting attorney Rick Bell commended the victims who testified during Daniel's trial. He said the words "evil, vile, monster all fit" to describe Daniel.
