Leroy Fuller Proves You Can’t Fix Pedophiles
April 29, 2008 by impqueen
Waterville, Maine – Leroy Fuller, 66, is a registered sex offender with a record dating back to 1959. But since it’s pretty much a walking offense to feel up a kid in Maine, he’s done remarkably little time. In fact, for his last offense in 2004, Fuller got just 364 days – suspended. He walked on a charge of sexual misconduct with a child under the age of 14. Which is probably why he felt perfectly comfortable feeling up a six-year-old girl in a thrift store on Monday – twice.
Yep, you heard me. Twice. Fuller frequents the Ken-A-Set thrift shop in Waterville, and on Monday afternoon he saw a little girl he liked. She was in the store with her older sister and her father. She was looking at the toys a few aisles away from her dad when Fuller approached her. He showed the child a stuffed animal, began to engage her in conversation, then grabbed her and felt her privates. In the store.
Fuller walked away for a minute, but then went back to the child and felt her up again, at which point the little girl ran and told her sister what Fuller had done. The sister told their father, who chased Fuller out of the store and down the street. The child’s father caught Fuller and detained him until police arrived, which in my opinion shows remarkable restraint on the dad’s part. Fuller’s lucky not to be hospitalized.
Police Sgt, Jeffrey Bearce arrested Fuller at the store and then interviewed him. “(Fuller) was not very honest or forthcoming with information. He is a registered sex offender,” Bearce said. The victim and her father were also taken in to be interviewed, where the child’s story did not change.
Fuller was convicted of gross sexual assault in 1981. He also was convicted of sexual misconduct with a child and visual sexual aggression against a child in 2004 – both those sentences were suspended.
Leroy Fuller is now in the Kennebec County Jail in Augusta on $50,000 cash-only bond. He is being charged unlawful sexual contact, a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Let’s hope they give it to him this time.

And they say men are more aggressive than women??? The bastard is lucky it wasn’t a momma like me. Even if it were another person’s child, I would be up on a serious assault charge. I would have been like that librarian who kicked the pedophile’s ass while waiting for police. Anyone happen to have a link to that story??? I loved that one

I am sick of pedophiles. They cannot be cured. Anytime they think they can get away with it, they will re-offend. There are people out there that think that some parents (me) are too overprotective and hypervigilant about knowing absolutely every move their child makes.
This is why. You never know who is a serial child molester that is walking free. They don’t wear signs…yet.

Yeah I think that pedophiles should have to get their foreheads branded as part of the “rehabilitation.” Kudos to the father, if I would have caught him I would’ve ended up in jail!

Seriously! If we just got RID of the sex offenders, there would be so much more room in the prisons! This case reminds me of one similar in Texas… The guy was a constant repeat offender, and only served 2 years of a 10 year sentence and kept getting probation! These people are slick, and not in a good way!

This guy knew exactly where his kid was and she still got victimized. Hell, she was just feet from her dad, it sounds like.
Obviously, I don’t know how you raise your child, so I would never presume that you are overprotective. However, I think parents who tend toward smothering their child should consider the realistic risk of victimization and develop reasonable preventative measures.
As this story illustrates, as well as others like the toddler who got snatched just feet away from parents at a family picnic, you cannot 100% protect your child short of literally holding their hand for every second of every day until they’re 18. That’s not reasonable. So, what is? Obviously, everyone will have their own opinion. In my opinion, it is unreasonable (and fairly unrealistic) to not allow your child out of your sight, ever.
But aside from all that, my question is – Why did this kid not go to her sister after the first time she was touched? Had this family not had the “talk”? I know she was only six, but really, it’s never too early.

It may be unreasonable to hold their hand every second, but if I want to know they are safe, I would NEVER let my 6 year old out of my sight in public – under any circumstance.
Chop this motherfuckers dinger off. Piece of shit.

SICK & nasty POS!!!
I still think we should throw them in the ocean for shark meals.
Since are laws don’t seem to take Sex Offenders very seriously, they will keep repeating their nasty, sick molesting, rape, or whatever on innocent children…until they are stopped!!!

Its sometimes toooo easy for these chesters my husband proved that to me in not a very nice manner. My first son was just old enough sit in the seat of a shopping cart and i was at wal-mart with my sister and my son. My sister and i were busy putting our bags in the car and he was in the cart when i turned around my son was gone. I started to freak out my heart started racing. Little did i know my husband had saw us and took him to teach me a lesson. You can be the most protective mother or father in the world yet there are those stupid little things that allows these nasty perverted pedifiles to do what they do.

If my husband tried to ‘teach me a lesson’ in that manner, I would be the instructor in the next lesson for a household member. My husband would need to learn how to pull my boot out of his ass. Nobody fucks with my kids. Not even my husband.

I didn’t know how to react i just started crying and took my son in my arms. I was 21 and a new mom. Due to his line of work i did however understand why he did that to me. He deals with these nasty bastards every day

Is he a cop? Regardless, that was still a horrible thing for him to do. There are other ways of instructing a person. Like talking. I find that to be a useful activity in my marriage.
8:54 pm on April 29th, 2008
I agree he was an asshole back then, but he made his point. Don’t think i ever been so devistated.
9:05 pm on April 29th, 2008
So, is he a cop?
9:16 pm on April 29th, 2008
he is in corrections, hince to the reason why i’ve seen a lot of things. And I can’t stand chesters at all. Makes my stomach turn.

JLT — I think the branding on the forehead idea is a good one. These people can’t be cured, so there’s nothing wrong with making sure forever that people know what they are.

NASTY, just plain nasty….yuck.

Little did i know my husband had saw us and took him to teach me a lesson.
Wow, seriously? What was the lesson supposed to be? “You can get got anywhere, no matter what”? I’d think a “lesson” like that only contributes to paranoia.
Incidentally, I did something similar to my boyfriend, once upon a time. He had borrowed my parents’ lawnmower to help a friend. My friend Jessica and I just happened to be driving down his friends street when we say the lawnmower, unsecured in the open trunk of his car, and the boys no where in sight. How dare he be so irresponsible with someone else’s stuff? So, Jessica and I snagged the lawnmower and drive it home without telling the boyfriend. The boyfriend called me, totally freaked out and apologetic, saying, “Honey, someone stole your dad’s lawnmower.” Well, I wasn’t trying to torture the poor guy, so I let him know what we had done. He was relieved and said he learned the lesson. :p

It’s called “tough love”; he was showing you how easy it is for these deviants and how little time it can actually happen. I for one would applaud the Death Penalty for repeated Sex Offenders of children. Why on Earth do we continue to tolerate it? So far, no one has yet to provide a reasonable defense for NOT killing these scum.
