Counter Current News – by Jeremiah Jones
An “Alaskan Avenger”, a victim of molestation and abuse as a child, is accused of vengefully attacking sex offenders with a hammer, using the online sex offender registry to find offenders.
According to Alfred NG of NY Daily News, Using Anchorage’s public online sex offender registry to locate up to 3 offenders, Jason Vukovich allegedly broke into his victim’s homes and bashed in their heads with a hammer in June.
NG says, “One of his victims landed on the sex offender registry 10 years ago, after pleading no contest to attempted sexual abuse of a minor.”
“He said, ‘I’m an avenging angel, I’m going to mete out justice for the people you hurt,’” Wesley Demarest, one of the people Vukovich tracked down, told the local news station.
Police said Vukovich was arrested the same night he allegedly hammered in Demarest’s skull. Police also found a notebook with his victim’s names listed in it, with addresses he found from the registry.
Vukovich, 41, is also accused of robbing the three victims after his vengeful beatings.
On the website, users can find sex offenders and child kidnappers through a database by name, zip code and city or through a map, with details of the person’s address and photos, along with conviction dates, and employer’s information.
NG states, “the sex-offender avenger revealed he had been molested and beaten by his adoptive father when he was a child, he wrote in a letter from jail to theAnchorage Dispatch News.”
“What I can say at this time is that after being physically and mentally abused by a predator, my life was forever changed,” Vukovich wrote in his letter.
He said he targeted sexual offenders in hopes of supporting children “in pursuit of their dreams,” writing that kids should be able to live “without the threat of pedophiles lingering around them.”
Vukovich plead not guilty to the charges of robbery and assault, and is being held on a $100,000 bail, and scheduled to return to court on Oct. 17. He faces up to 35 years in prison if convicted.
Watch the local report below…
“He said, ‘I’m an avenging angel, I’m going to mete out justice for the people you hurt,’”
A noble aspiration, to be sure, but…
“One of his victims landed on the sex offender registry 10 years ago, after pleading no contest to attempted sexual abuse of a minor.”
‘Attempted”/’10 years ago’… doesn’t sound like a vicious child molester to me. The ‘punishment’ you meted out was way out of proportion to the crime, imo.
But wait, that’s not quite all, is it…
“Vukovich, 41, is also accused of robbing the three victims after his vengeful beatings.”
Sorry, but an angel (even an avenging one) would NOT rob his ‘victims’ afterwards.
Sounds like you had an agenda that wasn’t limited to ‘avenging’.
I AGREE NWO….. IT IS NATURAL LAW… “WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND”.. AS YE SOW SO SHALL YE REAP”. HE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH HIS STEALING……….GOD IS NOT MOCKED……………KJV…NT
Either Mister Avenger is nuts or he already knew that there wasn’t much of a chance in getting his head blown off crawling through a window at certain addresses as opposed to any other.
What kind of justice is this, for under the law he will get more time in prison then a sexual predator that beats and sexually attacks a child.
