West Virginia newlyweds:
Yes...I've posted it on a few boards...and to some yes it may be redundant...and for those who've seen the other posts can ignore this one...but I figure if I can get atleast one person on this board who doesn't check the others to see it and pass it on...we might be able to keep this guy in prison where he belongs!!!
thanks!
Galion is my hometown and the Maloy's are family friends. Maggie was shot and raped not more than a football field away from the back of my family's home. Please pass this on to anyone you know that may help. He doesn't deserve to be let free after all he's done to Maggie and the entire community.
Thanks,

This letter below comes from Maggie:
On September 16, 1994, Galion, Ohio resident Charles Shane Vaughan, armed with a 12-inch blade and a fully-loaded .22 revolver, kidnapped Maggie Maloy as she was returning solo from an early morning cross-country practice. Vaughan savagely raped her twice, attempted to strangle her, buried her under some brush for a time, and eventually shot her five times. Finally, as she lay in a bloody, bug-eaten mess, he pistol-whipped her on the back of the head, able to elude capture until later that day. Though Maloy survived the vicious attack, she will forever have 3 bullets lodged in her body, two in her right lungh and one in her head. Her right arm, intially paralyzed by a bullet's destructive path, is mobile but not fully strong or sensitive to feeling. Though several corrective surgeries to realign her shattered jaw were successful, a six-week liquid diet was necessary to sustain her nutritional needs.
In January of 1995, Charles Vaughan was sentenced to 103 years in prison following his no contest plea to two counts of rape, one count of attempted murder, and one count of kidnapping.
NEED YOUR HELP!
Charles Shane Vaughan's first parole hearing is to be held in December of 2007. I, Maggie Maloy, ask anyone who's willing to write a letter to his parole board advocating on my behalf that Charles Vaughan NOT be released. Charles Vaughan is not only a sexual predator but also a ticking explosive device whom is capable of things far worse than what you read above.

This case received national attention. PLEASE disperse this information to whomever you feel would write a letter on my behalf and support the cause of keeping Charles Vaughan locked up.
