I wonder what he has been doing for the last 18 years....I hope they investigate

WELCH, W.Va. - A former West Virginia man has been captured in Virginia 18 years after failing to show up for sentencing in the sexual assault of a 5-year-old boy.

Tazewell, Va., Police Chief Brian Hieatt says Jesse Howard Weaver Jr. was arrested on a bench warrant Wednesday after police received a tip.

The 39-year-old Weaver was convicted of first-degree sexual assault in McDowell County. The bench warrant was issued in October 1990. At the time Weaver's address was listed as Iaeger.

Police say Weaver was living in Tazewell under the alias Jerry Lee Moore Jr.



State Police Trooper C.K. Morton in Welch says Weaver faces up to 25 years in prison on the sexual assault conviction.

About fucking time...it took 18 years for someone to tip this fuckers where abouts?

I hope he gets all 25 years. I bet more current victims will be popping up.

I'm sure more will pop up. How many years was it originally that he was going to be served with? (Probably looked right over it) I think he deserves atleast 18 on top of it for being on the run for as long as he was.
