It began with motor vehicle violations, but the crimes quickly turned violent, and then sexual, after Leahy was convicted in 1984 of entering the home of a 13-year-old Brockton girl, forcing her into a bathroom at knifepoint, and assaulting her. He should have been given life in prison, with hard labor at this point. Bread, water, no medical care, no tv, no books and no hope for parole. It would haved saved Zapp's life and the anguish his other victims are still going through.
He should never have been let out to "offend" again.
