Convicted rapist Bryan E. Halstead was arrested after police say he attempted to lure a teenage girl into meeting him for sex.
Naperville police arrested Halstead on Tuesday afternoon, and he was taken to Stateville on Tuesday night for violating the terms of his parole. Police said Halstead had come to Naperville to meet a 16-year-old girl with whom he had been corresponding on MySpace.com.
Halstead was paroled from prison in December after serving roughly half of a 45-year prison sentence he received in 1986 for the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl and for shooting her father. The shooting victim survived the attack.
Honestly, he should have never been free to begin with.
Halstead will not be facing any more prison time for this latest crime. Nor will he be released into the public. Instead of facing justice for his crimes, he opted to hang himself in his jail cell.
Illinois Department of Corrections spokesman Derek Schnapp said the body of Bryan E. Halstead, 44, of Chicago Heights was discovered Wednesday morning in a cell at Stateville Correctional Center near Joliet. The death is being investigated as a suicide, Schnapp said.

I am the daughter of this man and I find this disgusting that you have no respect for the family or the dead. Get a life.
How many times we hear about the same thing, the perverts are let out to end up doing the same thing over and over again.
