CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST, VICTOR G. WONYETYE

Here are the facts about The Convicted Child Rapist, Victor G. Wonyetye, a.k.a. State of Florida Department of Corrections (DofC) inmate number 621378:

Inmate #621378, has spent a great deal of his life in and out of reform schools, prisons and jails. When it comes to most convicted criminals their juvenile record is not known but at least part of Inmate #621378's, record as a child is known because it was reported widely in newspapers in New England and Florida as well as presented in court.

The Convicted Child Rapist was born in Windber, PA on 7 May 1943. Windber is a coal mining town in western Pennsylvania, not too far from Johnstown (about 20 miles south-east) and is about 228 miles west of Philadelphia. In July 2008, Windber's population was just over 4,000 people making it obvious that Windber never was a large community. WONYETYE is the fourth of five children born to a heavy-drinking father, who worked in the coal mines, and a mother, according to a parole report, who was "hard to please." This same report states the mother saw Inmate 621378 as a "bad boy" and rejected him, and her attitude of THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST son being a "bad boy" led to rejection of 621378, even as an infant.

Since juvenile records are sealed it is impossible to get a complete picture of the convicted child rapist's entire juvenile criminal history.

What is known, the convicted child rapists first arrest as an adult came in 1962 when he served time for larceny (theft) and housebreaking. He was 18 at the time when he and two of his buddies broke into 3 businesses in NH on one night and 2 businesses in SC the next night. It is obvious Inmate #621378 was not punished harshly enough in these early years for his criminal activity because after these he went on to gather another 30 or so felony convictions before the conviction of CHILD RAPE against his stepdaughter, before becoming the suspect in the cases of Christy Luna and Tammy Belanger, and before being convicted for the charges which currently have him in prison.

I am going to highlight these latter cases with the hope they will inspire everyone who reads this page to write the Florida Department of Corrections to urge them to KEEP THIS CHILD RAPIST AND PROBABLE MURDER IN PRISON but first I will share what is known about this SCUM-BAG's earlier years.

621378 has spent a great deal of his life in and out of reform schools, jails, and prisons. As noted above, he is currently a resident of the D of C's Florida's South Florida Reception Center (SFRC), South Unit

When it comes to juvenile record, most are sealed. This CONVICTED CHILD RAPISTS juvenile record is pretty well known. I've been able to gather bits and pieces of his life as child criminal through interviews and through newspaper articles relating to VICTOR WONYETYE. I'm sure not all is revealed here, but at least I can give you a sampling of what 621378's record as a child was and highlight the path he chose to take in life.

621378 began his run-ins with the law at an early age. While in third grade THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST was kicked out of a private Catholic school and sent to reform school for the first time. THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST would spend half of his school years (6-years out of 12-years) in juvenile facilities by being sentenced 4 times to juvenile reform/detention for 10 separate cases in Pennsylvania. Most of the cases 621378 were charged with were burglary; THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST did face one charge for stealing a car. 621378 chose to leave or was expelled, it is unclear, high school, 3 credits short of having a diploma.This is not a complete picture of THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST's entire juvenile criminal history.

After working 29 years in the coal mines, the father of THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST retired and moved to the Dover, NH. Dover is a town in southeast NH which is much larger (28,775 in 2007 with the majority of it being urban) than Windber, PA. Durham, NH is a neighboring town and home to the state university, University of New Hampshire (UNH). When the family moved to Dover, the father of THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST went to work at UNH as a security guard while his mother went to work at a local factory. WONYETYE did neither; THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST went to work on his job as a criminal.

In 1962, at the age of 18, THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST and two buddies broke into 3 businesses in (New Hampshire) NH on night one; they left the state and drove south to South Carolina (SC). Heading south or north, depending on the location 621378 is at when breaking the law is a pattern displayed THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPISTs entire adult criminal history. On night two, while in SC, the very next night after breaking into AT LEAST 3 businesses in NH, 621378 breaks into 2 businesses in the southern state.

Punishment for 621378 was not harsh enough in these early years for THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPISTS activities because he never stopped being a criminal. There may be a year or 18 months between arrests but this does not mean THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST wen a year or 18 months without committing a crime; this only means that 621378 went this long without getting caught.

From that 1962 arrest, THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST was sent to prison on only 2 counts, one for housebreaking and one for larceny. I do not know the actual amount of time 621378 served for this sentence but it would have been far less than the minimum. He may have just been given probation.

While his peers were learning to love rock-n-roll, going to drive-ins, hanging out at the local burger joint, going to fight in Korea with close to 40K dying there, dancing to Elvis then screaming for The Beatles, THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST was breaking into homes, getting kicked out school, taking what did not belong to him, stealing cars, breaking into businesses, and probably developing a taste for pre-pubescent girls. There is no way these criminal acts committed by 621378 can be seen as the follies of teenager. If he had gone on to hold jobs and stay out of trouble, one might be able to think such a thing but due to the fact that THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST racked up nearly 30 felony conviction in the next 8-years for burglaries in NH, Massachusetts (MA), and Connecticut (CT), one can hardly argue anything but the fact that 621378 became a career criminal.

One also should wonder if during that period in NH, MA, and CT if burglaries were really all that really happened based on what FL and NH law enforcement officials would discover in years to come, and based on court decisions which held that THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST should only be charged with burglary when he was clearly guilty of sex crimes.

I have to wonder, based on the fact that predators escalate with their criminal acts over time, was he ever spotted by some young girl or some parent of a young girl "peeping" in the window to watch the child? Was there ever any young girl or a family who caught a male subject outside their child's window masturbating and did not report it to the police due to the embarrassment of of the crime? Did a town in one of those three states have a problem with a male exposing himself and/or masturbating around young girls? Were there any young girls who were assaulted in their beds at night by THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST and the crime was not reported and/or the police did not solve the crime. If any department has any case involving a female child and a male adult or late-teen in New England, east of the Mississippi, or any place THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST visited or lived, and 621378 was not in prison, he should be looked at as a possible suspect!

THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST has a thrill-seeker mentality. He doesn't break-in to places to steal large amounts of cash or valuables. He is often know to have just taken tokens. For example, he has taken just a pair of roller skates or only a carton of cigarettes. Even one of his probation officers noted 621378 isn't concerned about the consequences of criminal acts, he commits crimes for the thrill it gives. Token taking, thrill-seeking behavior, and this need for instant gratification are all traits one can find in many serial killers.

On 6 October 1967 621378 married Frances, a woman he had met through a social worker who visited him while in jail in NH. The marriage did not last long, for a short 7-months after wedding Frances THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST was back to a place he knew well, jail, for burglary. Frances didn't remain faithful as she began to see other men. 621378 never lived with his wife again and was divorced through the mail. He has a tattoo on his left upper arm that simply says "Fran;" chances are he had this tattoo done for his wife Frances.

Through the 70s other women came and went into WONYETYE's life. He lived with one woman for short time while working at a NH factory. She gave birth to his child after they split up. As far as I know this child has NO relationship with WONYETYE.

Upon breaking up with his pregnant live-in girlfriend WONYETYE began seeing a woman with a little girl; the little girl he would be convicted of raping. This child is not WONYETYE's child. She is the daughter from a marriage the mother had been in previously.

At the age of 8 this little girl somehow summoned the courage to tell police WONYETYE was undressing her, and inserting his fingers and penis in her genital area. On 27 July 1973 WONYETYE was charged with molesting this child.

WONYETYE's lawyer told the jury that a girl of her age could not distinguish between fact and fantasy. The child's mother chose to believe THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST over her own daughter; she even married the SCUM-BAG five-months later. The state of NH dropped all charges in January 1974. This, even though the police had interviewed the girl, she had been examined by medical professionals, and she stated WONYETYE was raping her. As a result no action of any kind was taken by anyone and this poor child had to endure a long-term sexual relationship with WONYETYE, who was now her step-father.

When she was 11, according to court records, she had to seek medical treatment due to the intercourse with WONYETYE. Nothing happened; he wasn't arrested at the time; no social service agency paid the family a visit; her mother stayed with WONYETYE; the little girl was sent home. As a result, WONYETYE kept on doing what he loved; HE KEPT ON HAVING SEX WITH A PRE-PUBESCENT GIRL. In a former parole officer's report it states: "After she (his step-daughter) recovered (physically), he started having intercourse (raping) her (his step-daughter who was 11) again." Note: I added the parenthetical notes in that quote be cause the she he was referring to was WONYETYE's 11-year-old step-daughter; the young girl may have recovered physically from her injuries but there is no way she recovered psychologically. Also, intercourse is something done between two consenting adults; forcing oneself upon an 11-year-old child can only be seen as rape.

That poor child had to wait another two-years before WONYETYE faced criminal charges. This meant this poor little girl had to live through two more years of being routinely raped. WONYETYE, his wife, and his step-daughter lived in the small town of Rollinsford, NH when the arrest finally came. The former chief-of-police, Al England, had told local papers he always knew there was something wrong with the girl because she was at the police station so much and crying all the time. He tried to get the girl to open up to him about what was wrong, but she never would. This was probably because she had once gone to the police and while the police had believed her story of rape at the age of 8, WONYETYE's lawyer was able to throw enough coals into the fire that the state of NH dropped charges, letting him go, her mother married the man and didn't believe her, state social workers had never done a thorough investigation of the home, and later, even when she went to the hospital requiring treatment from being raped, nothing was done.

What led to WONYETYE's arrest in 1979, a full five years after the first charges were filed? WONYETYE's wife, the little-girl's mother walked in on WONYETYE raping her child on 22 January 1979. To her credit, she went to the police. WONYETYE played his old-favorite of I'll try to hide and you seek me, game.

His parents had moved to suburban Lake Worth in 1977 and WONYETYE fled there. In February 1979 WONYETYE was picked up by police at his parents home and eventually he was to face extradition to NH for rape.

Just like so many other low-life child predators, WONYETYE has an excuse for everything. He hadn't "fled" to Florida; he was just visiting his parents. He hadn't raped the girl; it was a "loving and consensual relationship." He even claimed the mother, his wife, had found WONYETYE and her daughter in bed together many times. According to 612378 his wife never did anything about it, like go to police, as long as he agreed to stay with her.

WONYETYE got his speedy trial and in May 1979 he went to trial. He wanted to tell his side of the story but his lawyer, Daniel Newman, was horrified by what WONYETYE had to say. WONYETYE never denied the "relationship." He even went as far as claiming it was "consensual" and they were "in-love." As anyone who isn't a pedophile knows, there is no way a child can consent to having sex with an adult male at the ages of 8, 9, 10, and 11. Besides, the young girl did not consent. This is just a SCUM-BAGS way of trying to confuse the judge and/or jury. WONYETYE was so horrified by his client's story he asked to have a court-appointed psychologist evaluate WONYETYE.

WONYETYE not only raped his step-daughter, but he also videotaped these encounters. His ex-wife did confront the CHILD RAPIST about these tapes but the SCUM-BAG reportedly told the woman the relationship was "normal" and that he and his step-daughter were "in-love." WONYETYE's in love alright; he's in love with raping pre-pubescent girls. This poor child wasn't "in-love;" the fact that he would make such a claim victimizes her all over again. This little girl had gone to the police. She had spoken with state prosecutors. Charges had been filed then dropped. She had to seek medical treatment for the physical damage done to her little body when he raped her. In July 1973 the State of NH had the chance to protect this little girl from this SCUM-BAG and they dropped the ball. Now, in February, 1979, 5-years and 7-months AFTER the little girl had gone to police and the state for help, WONYETYE was back in custody and finally before a judge.

When asking for his client to be evaluated Newman wrote the judge "the alleged repeated rapings of his stepdaughter suggests a psychiatric imbalance that further warrants examination." Newman also claimed WONYETYE had a lack of understanding when it came to concepts of guilt."

In addition to videotaping the rapes of his step-daughter, WONYETYE also took photographs of the child in various stages of dress during the rape and he used these photographs as a tool to try to get the mother of the little girl to make her daughter not cooperate with the state in their prosecution by promising to release the photos of the child who was now 13. This alone should have brought additional charges and should have shown NEW HAMPSHIRE how evil this man is but as far as I know, tampering with a witness charges were never filed. According to the former chief of police in Rollinsford, Al England, WONYETYE, who did not testify at his trial, spent a great deal of the time in courtroom mooning over his stepdaughter. Somehow he was able to get away with "looking over at her and saying 'I love you,' and then he was sending her love letters."

In May 1979 WONYETYE was found guilty by the jury and on 16 May 1979 the judge sentenced him to 7 1/2 to 15 years in the state prison. When the judge asked WONYETYE if he had anything he would like to say at this point, WONYETYE asked why he was "being cruicified" for something that wasn't a crime.

Post-conviction the judge sent WONYETYE for a psychiatric evaluation. A month later the judge heard from the state hospital doctor who wrote the judge declaring WONYETYE was NOT a dangerous sexual offender and not in need of psychiatric treatment." Using the results of that exam as proof, WONYETYE began corresponding with the judge, claiming he had been railroaded.

"This girl used me to get and have anything she wanted simply by saying she loves me and giving me sex any time I wanted it and didn't even have to ask," he wrote. "She was the one that climbed into my bed." His lawyer tried to get Wonyetye to stop writing "ridiculous poison pen letters" to the judge. But Wonyetye didn't stop.

"I gave her money any time she wanted it Wonyetye wrote the judge in another letter. "I bought her a $1,600 swimming pool. I gave her all the clothes she wanted. I even gave her a $200 stereo for Christmas. "She missed 35 days of school last year because she would call me up and tell me that I could come home and make love to her if she could stay home from school," he wrote. "She also told me she loved me and would never do anything to hurt me.

"Now I'm doing 7 1/2 to 15 years because I fell in love with her, because she gave me all her love. What does she get for this? Nothing." Wonyetye asked the judge to grant him a new trial.

"Why is it that justice cannot be in the purest form that it is meant to be?" he asked the judge. "Why was it that I had to be given up as a statistic?"

Wonyetye appealed and lost. And in 1983 after serving a little more than four years of his sentence he was placed on parole and released from prison. The state of NH opened the prison doors and let him go free.

WONYETYE, divorced at this point from the woman who was the mother of the child he raped, was suppose to be on a supervised parole by the state of NH. Everyone knows how well parolees are supervised, though. And in the short time WONYETYE was out of prison, he gained the nick name of "Chester the molester" from his so-called friends, because he was always seen with young girls. Even though this scumbag had gone to prison for, and was on parole for, raping a young girl, it was common knowledge, to those who worked with WONYETYE at a body shop not too far from the coastal hotel in Rye where WONYETYE lived, and to those who knew WONYETYE at the motel, that WONYETYE was associating with young girls. It seems as if everyone in WONYETYE's life knew this EXCEPT those who should.

Newspaper reports state some of those who lived at the motel with WONYETYE for 8-months had names of 14-year-old girls written all over the dashboard, upholstery, and ceiling preceded by "Victor loves . . ." One man admitted to the press he thought it was strange WONYETYE was hanging out with all those young girls but said WONYETYE had told him that girls of that age were much more "innocent" and "didn't have all the baloney other people have."

They were 14 and WONYETYE was close to 40-years-old. No girl at the age of 14 could have legally given consent to be with WONYETYE. No girl at the age of 14 would love a 40-year-old man and for a 40-year-old man to openly admit to friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. he loved 14-year-old girls, and to decorate his car with these confessions of love, alarm bells should have gone off to with the State of NH Department of Parole, and in particular, WONYETYE's parole officer.

Maybe his parole officer was getting too close. Maybe he molested a girl in the Seacoast area and had been confronted by a parent, sibling, uncle, or feared the child would go to the police. I don't know. But something happened. Something happened that led WONYETYE to pull up his stakes and head to Florida. He was still on parole and I have not been able to find out if he transferred his parole to Florida but I do not believe he did. Picking up and fleeing, running faraway is a habit this scumbag is known for once he has committed a crime and fears he will be arrested.

If by chance you are reading this and the picture of WONYETYE looks familiar to you because you were his victim or his intended victim PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, come forward. I am sure the Belanger family will be very thankful and I KNOW Christy Luna's mom will be very thankful. It won't be easy and it will take a lot of courage but remember you were this man's victim. You were the child and he was the adult. WONYETYE had no business having relationships with any girls under the age of 18. If You think you may have been his victim you can contact the Greenacres, Florida PD, the Exeter, NH PD, the FBI, your local police, or even send me an e-mail and I will forward it on to the proper authorities.

When WONYETYE moved to Florida he moved in with his mother and father and who had moved to the Sunshine State and soon began work as a groundskeeper at a Wellington, Florida golf course. It didn't take THE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST too long to get into trouble. On 7 May 1984, living in Florida for less than 2-months, WONYETYE was spotted crouching in the bushes and peeking in the windows of a Beverly Drive home by an off-duty Lake-Worth police officer. WONYETYE claimed he was looking for his lost cat but the astute officer knew better. He was charged with a misdemeanor charge of night prowling, posted bond, and released from jail.

This was another missed opportunity, though! If a criminal check would have been done on WONYETYE it would have been discovered he was on parole from the state of NH, that he hadn't registered with the state of Florida as a parolee, and that he had been charged with raping a young child. If the officer who arrested him knew this, I am sure bond would have been higher or there may have been no bond at all. If the Florida authorities knew who WONYETYE was they may have charged him with more serious crimes and he would have been locked up, waiting to be extradited back to NH to serve out the rest of his 7 1/2 to 15 year sentence.
