A man arrested for the abduction and rape of a 9 year old Massillon, Ohio girl had previously been accused of raping a woman in Wyoming where he left her for dead. He was convicted of manslaughter. He was living in Port Washington, Ohio at the time of his recent arrest. Makes you wonder what he's been doing and where has been between 1999 and 2016.

MASSILLON A 9-year-old girl was savagely beaten and raped in a church parking lot roughly a mile from her home, and the man accused of the brutal attack threatened to kill the child if she told anyone.

Those were among new details that emerged Friday when a police detective was questioned by attorneys at a court hearing for Dennis L. Menefee Jr., who faces felony charges in the Sept. 26 incident.

Detective David McConnell said during the hearing in Massillon Municipal Court that he has received verbal confirmation from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation that DNA evidence from the child matches that of the 45-year-old Menefee.

Menefee avoided a trial set for July by pleading guilty to the rape counts plus a charge of having a weapon under disability. Attached to the charges were sexually violent predator, repeat violent offender and firearm specifications.

Menefee received the maximum punishment under the law, Scott said. Farmer sentenced the defendant to two life prison terms with no chance of parole on each of the rape counts; the additional 26 years is related to the weapons charge and specifications.

Farmer told Menefee that his criminal history is proof that his predatory conduct was not an isolated incident.

“You were not satisfied with taking the life of a woman in the state of Wyoming,” she said. “... You stole and shattered the innocence of a victim and of the community.”

Added the judge: “You represent every parent’s worst nightmare, and to every child, you are the face of the bogeyman.”
