Authorities Asking Victims To Come Forward In Serial Rapist Case

[NaturalHigh]

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Oklahoma - A man accused of preying on women across the state is now behind bars. So far, investigators believe he raped at least six women over a 30 year period, but there may be more victims.

Authorities are looking for anyone who may have been a victim or knows anything about this man's past to come forward. His crimes date back to the early 1980's, but the Pontotoc County District Attorney's office is working to find out what happened in some of those cases.

RJ Thompson Jr.'s first reported sexual assault case dates back to 1985, but the charge was dismissed. The next known sexual crime was 8 years later in 1993 for kidnapping and sexual assault, but Thompson was acquitted.

He escaped from the Department of Corrections and then in 2004 and in 2008 more kidnappings and sexual assaults were reported.

If these allegations are proven, I hope this guy spends a long life in prison suffering with the knowledge that his victims put him there.

1. When they say he escaped from the Department of Corrections

Do they mean he broke out of Jail? It seems to me that for the safety of the public they should probably either place this man in a Maximum Security Prison for life or put him down like you would a wild animal that is a threat to the public.

2. I would imagine he was in one...

of our minimum-security facilities and simply walked away. That actually happens fairly often. You see, a good number of our state's minimum-security prisons are run by private contractors, and it's inconvenient for them to hire adequate staff or pay them enough to pay attention.

Don't worry though - if he's convicted this time, he'll end up in our maximum-security prison in McAlester, and nobody escapes from "Big Mac."
