Update: Now dead. Died in a nursing home. Maybe there will be justice on the other side for him. His over 100 victims didn’t get it here.
The MA Dept. of Corrections will release a serial child rapist & possible murderer because they’ve determined that this pedophile is now ‘harmless’.
This story is not a headliner and in the great scheme of things will not rock the world. But for the one hundred boys he raped and otherwise sexually abused, and for the family of the boy who more than likely was murdered by him, there will be no peace. He boasted about raping over one hundred boys. For those of us of a certain age the story was a headliner for months when it went down.
The story brought to mind an earlier post. Recall how wonderful the “The First Step” was? Non-violent offenders. Just some fine folks who got into trouble in the hood who otherwise were on the way to Sainthood, so sure… let’s get them back on the street pronto.Then we find out First Step Act release of criminals include Rapists, Murderers
Rapists, Murderers, you name it are now out roaming our neighborhood. Once again.
So now we get back to this fine fellow. Forgive me if I am cynical this morning. Our justice system is just not working it seems. The Boston Herald has a bunch of stories on Chapman. I ran out of freebie stories, but wander over. Most discouraging is the jury that found him “not guilty” on the latest charges thus opening the doors to the latest effort to keep him confined:
Convicted child rapist Wayne Chapman was found not guilty following accusations that he exposed himself to others while incarcerated on Friday.
Chapman, now 71, was charged with open and gross lewdness and lewd, wanton and lascivious acts for allegedly exposing himself to prison workers at MCI-Shirley. This acquittal allows him to be released back into the public.
Chapman was convicted in 1977 of sexually assaulting young boys he lured into the woods. He’s been civilly committed since his prison term ended in 2004.
Chapman is a self-admitted serial child rapist. He also remains the prime suspect in the disappearance of a 10-year old boy from a South Lawrence pool in the 1970’s.
“For a guy like this, a prolific sex offender, who has been convicted of sexually abusing at least 11 children in three states and admitting to sexually abusing 100 children, it’s good reason to be afraid,” said Murphy.
The Supreme Court ruled Chapman can no longer be civilly committed after two mental health professionals concluded he was no longer sexually dangerous.
Just when one thinks the swamp couldn’t reek much more.

Not much remorse there, eh? Perhaps Polanski regrets this remark and is a changed man with a rather greater perspective on his crimes. But this interview suggests that, in 1979 at least, he didn’t seem to think he’d committed a crime at all.
