:laser:

This needs this! If he did this crap right out in the open then there's no rehabbing this goon!
 
The fuck is with this guy? Was he trying to get Dads consent by leaving the notes on his car? Clearly dad thought this goon was gonna quit otherwise he would have punched him by now.

...AND... the million dollar question is: Why hasn't the dad done a good old fashioned beat down on this creepy old bastard?
 
boy's father said he told Ruppel on several occasions over the past two years to stay away from his son.
I would have done the same but of course, I would have driven the point home with a 2x4 repeatedly bashed into his skull. You know, just to make sure he GOT my message to stay the fuck away.
 
This is scary as hell! I can't believe he's leaving cards and letters with flowers on dad's vehicle. This guy needs to be in jail before he does something worse.
 
For two years, a registered sex offender would watch a boy in Allentown and leave love letters for him, attaching a peach-colored rose to each one, according to court records.

Ruppel, of the 1400 block of Hamilton Street, was charged Tuesday with stalking.

How come it took TWO YEARS to charge an established RSO with stalking? Why the wait?? WTF.
 
If I was this kids parent I would have already gone and whooped this old mans ass! With crowbar.
 
After 2 years, nothing had been done about the guy (I'd have kicked his sorry ass to the police department), then - because you fear for your child's safety ...

he's even asked his neighbors to watch out for his son when he goes outside

Well aww hell no! If I'm scared for my child, I'll report UNTIL someone listens. Or said child will not be leaving MY sight - not depending on someone else to watch out for him. This old fucker - he's a neighbour too, right o_O... so who knows WHO will be watching over that kid!
 
'Pedophile who will never stop' sentenced in stalking case
A 74-year-old sex offender convicted of stalking an Allentown boy, "is a pedophile who will never stop," a prosecutor argued on Tuesday.

Clyde Ruppel admitted he has sexual urges toward children, which began when he was a teenager, Senior Deputy District Attorney Anna-Kristie Morfi Marks said.

And Ruppel's criminal record, which dates back to 1975, shows the law does not stop him from giving in to those urges, Marks said.

"For 50 years, all of his offenses have related to children. All of his victims are children," Marks said, later adding, "He is one of the scariest sex offenders this community has seen because there is no end in sight."

Ruppel himself said he will be a pedophile until he dies, Marks said.

Since he served his maximum sentence, Ruppel was not under any supervision, Smith said. The defense attorney argued stalking did not warrant five years in state prison, and instead asked the judge for a sentence that included probation, so Ruppel could be supervised while he is out in the community.

"Sentence him for the actions he committed," Smith said.

When Ruppel was asked Tuesday if he meant to harm his stalking victim, he said, "Not in a million years."

Ruppel said when he is released from prison, he plans to move out of state, possibly to Colorado.

Marks rattled off Ruppel's criminal record in her request for the maximum sentence:
  • In 1975, Ruppel was charged with corruption of minors for performing a sex act in front of children.
  • He was charged again with corruption of minors for fondling a 9-year-old girl.
  • In 1976, Ruppel was convicted of indecent assault for picking up a 14-year-old boy who was hitchhiking, attempting to perform a sex act on the boy, and then performing a sex act in front of him.
  • In 1993, Ruppel was again charged with corruption of minors for showing nude images to children.
  • The most serious case was in 1995, when Ruppel faced rape and related charges for sexually assaulting two boys, ages 7 and 9, at a lower Bucks County parks and at his house in Croydon, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Ruppel was sentenced to six to 15 years in the case.
In the most recent case, prosecutors said the stalking started in July 2013, when Ruppel would watch from his car as the boy, then 11, rode his scooter on Hamilton Street.
