Background:
Willie Lagway is being considered for early releasein May2015, by the Ohio Parole Board. He is currently incarcerated for the kidnapping and robbery of 6 women, two of which he raped.
During each attack on these women, Lagway copied down their personal information. He has also seen the victim's age progression and their families by way of a second trial, where he was re-convicted on all original counts. Additionally, with the way technology is today, it would not be difficult to gather current information on the victims.
The victims and their families are asking for your help to keep him in prison as they are scared he will recommit if released.
Not only did he admit to everything, during his trial, Lagway stated, "the only mistake he made was not sacrificing his victims because this is what ended up happening, he ended up getting caught."
Please sign the petition and leave any comments on the blog page.
We are also asking that letters be sent directly to the parole board at the following address. Letters MUST includeWILLIE LAGWAY #A173689 on each page.

Seeing 2,500 people stand behind us feels like a massive weight off these families who have lived in fear for so long. Every name on this list proves that our community refuses to let his victims be forgotten.

The fear in our community remains heavy because these women still live with the threat of what he said he would do. I have spent these past few days reviewing your messages and they provide the strength we need to keep pushing the parole board. We have to ensure he remains behind bars so that no one else has to live in terror.

Please don't let someone out like this we have daughter. And also if he didn't care then he doesn't care now. Wth
please keep this man in jail,how on earth could he be a better person now. He terrorized these woman and I fear will seek to do more harm. we know from a young age what is right from wrong, and pay for the pain caused.please keep him locked up
Just keep him in there.!!!!!!! No one else should endure what he will more than likely do again! Minimum of 109 years should mean something. Letting him out is an insane idea!!!
Either keep him in for the entire time or execute him. It is the only way to ensure he will not go after the victims again. Besides I agree with others if he was sentenced to serve 109 years then thats what he should serve.
Please keep him in there! The victims have had to and will continue to learn to live with what he did to them. Minimum of 109 years means until he dies in there...so be it.
Letting violent serial rapists go free is RAPE CULTURE

He needs to stay where he is because I am going through prosecuting someone for a home invasion thru DNA after 2yrs for kidnapping,agg burglary,agg robbery and 2 counts of assult 1of wich was my 5yr d grandson that they punched in the face. Can you even imagine a 5yr old being a threat to teenage boys. I am prosecuting to the fullest to maybe hopefully get piece of mind that people will think before doing home invasions. They can't get away with it.
