Jason was a victim of sexual abuse as a child. Being exposed to multiple occurrences of assault he grew mentally unstable from it, just as anyone would. In June 2016, he assaulted three men he found on the state’s online sex offender registry. He was sentenced to 23 years in jail. At his sentencing hearing on Friday, Vukovich told the judge his life story and where his anger toward sex offenders came from. Vukovich said he was physically and sexually abused by his stepfather as long as he could remember.
 
“He liked to administer beatings with various instruments, belts, eventually a custom 2x4 he made. He used to disrupt the night by coming in to sexually assault myself. It was rough.”
 
Vukovich and his older brother, Joel Fulton, ran away from home when they were teenagers.
 
Fulton testified at his brother’s sentencing, telling the judge about the trauma they endured for years.

“We’d roll over on the bunk beds and be up against the wall. I can’t look at you man, I’m sorry,” he said to Vukovich, choking back tears. “It was my job to go first so he would leave Jason alone.”
