INSIDE THE CRIME NEWS

HALL OF FAME - SURVIVOR
Child Molester’s Grooming and Dooming

22 years ago, a long-time chess coach for children, Gary George Vadnais, was convicted for molesting a 7-year-old girl – and giving her genital warts. She grew up confused, depressed, self-mutilated, drug-addicted, and homeless. Now rehabilitated and happily married, she has never fully recovered. She wants people know to keep their kids safe.

See Child Safety - Molesters and Child Safety - Safeguarding.
