America’s Most Wanted Features Dangerous McKean County Sexual Predator
1 min readSexual predator escaped McKean Co. Jail in 2007
On July 30, 2007, Joseph Chapman escaped from the McKean County Prison. He’d been assigned a morning work detail and seized the opportunity to run.
Authorities discovered Chapman’s prison uniform by a nearby stream, but Chapman has been incognito ever since. He now faces escape charges.
The Emporium Police Department joined forces with the U.S. Marshals Service’s Fugitive Task Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania to aid in the pursuit of Chapman. Although Chapman’s whereabouts remain a mystery, the U.S. Marshals have uncovered evidence that leads them to believe many of Chapman’s sexual attacks have never been reported. As a result, several new criminal charges have been filed against Chapman, including: rape of a child and two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child.
According to authorities, Chapman has made a habit of targeting single women with children. Police say he preys on their insecurities and low self-esteem — or in some cases, developmental disabilities — in order to weasel his way into their life. Chapman relies on the internet as his facilitator.
