DeSalvo molested a young girl when he returned to the United States in 1955,but charges were never brought up

 

After DeSalvo's first child was born,he was arrested for theft twice,but was released on suspended sentences

 

DeSalvo was charged also with the crimes where he was known as the "Measuring Man";this is where he would go door-to-door looking for women whom he was attracted to,he would tell them he worked for a modeling agency and would then measure them,fondling them in the process-charges were brought up on DeSalvo in 1960 due-to DeSalvo confessing after he was arrested for suspicion of burglary;he was sentenced to 2 years for this but was paroled in 11 months

 

DeSalvo is stated to have raped over 300 women,but he himself claimed to have raped over 2,000 women

 

DeSalvo never went to trail for the Boston Strangler murders-this because of lack of evidence,and also because his lawyer cut a deal to only have the charges of the rapes/Measuring Man incidents to be brought on him,for an exchange of life in prison without parole

Prison officials,including DeSalvo's psychiatrist believe that DeSalvo was murdered because he threatened to come forward with whom the TRUE Boston Strangler was-this believed because DeSalvo's psychiatrist remarked that the last time he saw DeSalvo he had said to him that he was fed up with the whole Boston Strangler thing

 

When DeSalvo was 7-years-old,he saw his father hit his mother(breaking all of her front teeth),and then saw his father break his mother's fingers,snapping them one-by-one

 

DeSalvo is one of six children-he along with two of his sisters were sold to a slave farmer by they're father for $9.00 each

DeSalvo's wife is from Germany,in which DeSalvo met her while he was enlisted in the Army;when he was honorably discharged,he returned with his wife to the United States

 

DeSalvo is the father of two children-daughter Judy & son Michael

Due-to DeSalvo being subjected to proverty at a young age,he was forced to prostitute himself,he lost his virginity at the age of 10 years old by a homosexual for money

At the time of DeSalvo's arrest(the final one),his reward was at $110,000

 

It only took the jury at DeSalvo's final court appearence 3 hours and 45 minutes to find him guilty

 

While imprisoned for the final time,DeSalvo and two other inmates actually escaped from prison-the two other inmates were caught at a cocktail bar,while DeSalvo called his attorney and turned himself in at a clothing store.DeSalvo's brothers helped in the escape attempt,and therefore were arrested for helping
