DISGUSTING!! He lives at 111 4TH AVE NW HAMPTON, Iowa, 50441
Sadly, this abuse had gone on for YEARS and never reported until it finally came out. He was a pillar of his community in Aredale — Fire Department, volunteer, etc….
I was afraid of that.
Hell is to good for him and I know if given the chance he will do it again. It makes me sick people like this can walk free.
Anyone who touches a child in a sexual nature should be strung up from a very, very tall tree.
You my friend are soooo right!
meanwhile drug dealers are getting 20 year sentences Federal time, God Bless America…
Great point. Priorities out of whack to say least.
Poor Mike Frazer….lol
Studies prove these people can’t be rehabilitated– he will probably do it again. Does he live in Hampton and if so, what is his address?
I’m just sure he got rehabilitated in 11 months……. What is wrong with this picture. These are the criminals who should never get concurrent sentences!
What a POS and we had to pay to feed this waste. I sure hope he got enough in the rear where he was at so some young child doesnt have to worry about him.
