Peter Newman, a child sexual abuse offender with hundreds of victims, was up for parole on September 25, 2024 after serving only 15 years in prison (17% of his total consecutive sentence of two life terms plus thirty years). 

Newman's first opportunity for parole was DENIED! 

Another is scheduled for September 2029, as dictated by Missouri law, which requires another hearing be held (as far out as allowable) in five years.

Sign this petition against his parole, which will be submitted to the Missouri Parole Board as part of Newman’s future hearing(s).
