Media’s Overzealous Coverage Finally Does Some Good

Don’t say that the media’s overzealous coverage of the Amish school shooting didn’t do anything good for our society. In fact, you see, it caught a rapist.

According to CBS 3, just “moments” after state police revealed that Charles Roberts said he had molested young relatives 20 years before, Al Harney walked right into the Upper Darby police department and turned himself in for a rape the cops didn’t even know happened:

“He said his urges were so strong to assault a woman, to rape, to abduct a woman that he had to get it off his conscience before he did it,” said Chief [Michael] Chitwood.

Because there was no record of Hanney’s 2002 rape, police had to track down the alleged victim, now 18 years-old.

Reports show when they did, she confirmed the attack, telling police about it for the first time.

“It is fortunate he came in because he, himself, may have prevented a more horrible tragedy,” said Chief Chitwood.

Well, bully for you, rapist. Way to, uh, not rape again.
