Connor Coonfare arrested for exposing himself to Registered Person after he made death threat on Oncefallen.com Facebook page

About a month ago, I had posted harassment and threats from residents of the town of Washington, Iowa, and one of them was an explicit threat from Connor Coonfare. Well what do you know, the dumbass went and committed a sex offense. In Iowa, an indecent exposure offense can lead to 10 years on the sex offense registry.

MAN ARRESTED FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE, HARASSMENT AT REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER’S HOME

A Washington man has been arrested for harassment and indecent exposure. The incident happened at the residence of a registered sex offender near the Washington Middle School where people have been protesting since the school year began.

According to the Washington County Communications Office, on Tuesday 24-year-old Connor Alexander Coonfare was arrested. He faces charges of harassment in the first degree, an aggravated misdemeanor; harassment in the third degree, a simple misdemeanor; and indecent exposure, a serious misdemeanor. The incident happened at 2 a.m., when a man rang the doorbell and exposed himself when the resident opened the door. Coonfare had no previous criminal record in Iowa. He was taken to the Washington County Jail.

Washington Police Chief Jim Lester spoke of the issue during Tuesday’s city council meeting, “I can’t stress enough the importance to the public to not reach out, and not vandalize, harass, or make threatening comments to anybody else. They’re members of our community. We take all offenses, all violations of the law seriously, as we have to. And, you know we’re doing our best to keep everybody [safe]. I know the group that’s out there protesting sees us drive by a lot. I can tell you, when you’re not there, when you weren’t there last year, we’re driving by a lot. School patrol is a priority for us every single day.”

Lester explained that the registered sex offender at that house is on a lifetime parole with quarterly check-ins with the sheriff’s office, but he does not have residency restrictions. Those are placed by the court system based on the convicted charges. Also, Lester explained that the city cannot pass ordinances with its own restrictions per Iowa law, and those wanting to change that would have to speak with state legislators.

Brianne Banger's "132 Feet" vigilante group (Washington, IA) commits a sex crime in addition to other crimes

OnceFallen usually assists those convicted of sex offenses to reintegrate after they served time, but we do not offer assistance where sex offenses occurred during a vigilante action. 

While the pieces of shit at the 132 Feet gang have slowed down their online presence, they're still harassing the same registrant. Thankfuully, the Washington Police Dept. posts their activity logs. There was an act of vandalism, which is a crime, and now we see someone from the 132 Feet gang exposed his genitals to the registered person, which of course, is a crime in Iowa. Soon one of these vigilante losers will land in jail. 

Looks like Brianne Banger and her group of miscreants still have yet to learn their lesson. 

ACTION ALERT! Washington, Iowa vigilante group "132 Feet" is ALREADY being linked to crimes against registrants

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who responded so far. The police have sent me a response they are looking into the threats that were made. Hopefully this group will leave the registrant alone and allow him the opportunity to become a productive member of society. 

 In the few days since the "132 Feet" vigilante group formed in the small town of Washington, Iowa (pop. about 7500), and already, they have been engaging in intimidation and theft, as posted by the Washington PD:

Online, one of this group's members made an explicit death threat against the Registrant they are protesting:

They also made a threatening text to my own phone:

Note: It is very easy to spoof calls using Google Voice, but if these idiots think these calls are untraceable, they better think twice before continuing to send me harassing calls. 

Not that I've ever hidden my addressed but they've also taken  to doxxing OnceFallen while intentionally adding inaccurate info from other vigilante websites:

Accusing me of making false allegations is serious, and I have no problems turning this evidence over to the courts. We'll see who is lying then, huh?

The Washington, IA police chief Jim Lester already gave these vigilantes a public blessing, so they feel emboldened to up their game, and each day, their antics get more and more threatening. 

WHAT WE CAN DO

The first thing we should do is contact the authorities and demand they hold this vigilante group accountable for their actions. I'm including the contact info here for various law enforcement and prosecution agencies so we may inform them of the crimes being allowed and that they should do their jobs:

Washington Police Department, 215 E Washington St, Washington, IA 52353, Phone: (319) 653-2256

Washington County Sheriff's Office, 2181 Lexington Blvd, Washington, IA 52353, Phone: (319) 653-2107

Iowa State Patrol: 1.800.525.5555

John Gish, County Attorney, 222 W Main Street, Basement Floor P.O. Box 841 Washington, IA 52353, Phone: 319-653-7746, Fax: 319-653-7784, jgish@co.washington.ia.us

Office of the Attorney General of Iowa, Hoover State Office Building, 1305 E. Walnut Street, Des Moines IA 50319, Email: webteam@ag.iowa.gov (If you seek a reply, please include your full name, mailing address, and daytime telephone number.), Phone: 515-281-5164, Fax: 515-281-4209

I'd like to hear other suggestions as to how we can prevent these so-called "peaceful" protesters from eventually assaulting or killing their target. 

Since these vigilantes are obsessed with me to the point of harassment and reading this page, here are few things those vigilantes reading the page needs to consider:

1. You can lie all you want but whatever you post online can the phone calls/ texts you make can be traced by your government. 

2. Not every Registered Person is on probation/ parole. Also, reporting email addresses/ social media is pointless to do when it is not a requirement in Nebraska. 

3. You do realize that making false allegations is just as much a crime for you as it is for anyone on the registry, right? Go ahead and tell the police about this page, so that I may share your activities with them.

Police in the small town of Washington, Iowa allows newly formed vigilante group to threaten and harass registrant

 A new vigilante group has started up in the small town of Washington, Iowa. They call themselves "132 Feet" and they're quite a nasty little bunch. They just started a few days ago to protest a local registrant they feel live too close to a school (though the registrant is perfectly within the confines of the law) and the local police chief has given these thugs their blessing. They try to claim they are engaging in a "peaceful protest" but their recent online behavior suggests more violent actions may soon be taken. One member even made an explicit death threat (see last screenshot). 

It will only be a matter of time before one of these "peaceful protesters" assault the man they are protesting. Police Chief Lester is turning a blind eye to this threatening behavior, and they are drawing people that have expressed an intent to cause harm.

Iowa Code Sec. 708.7 clearly states, "A person commits harassment when the person, purposefully and without legitimate purpose, has personal contact with another person, with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or alarm that other person." They should be notified this also applies to harassing communications against someone from another state. 

This new vigilante group run by these "peaceful protesters" have made it clear the intent is to force the man to move, so they are indeed breaking the law.

No peace for scumbag predator groups who make threats and don't know the difference between witch and which!

PROTESTERS PICKET OUTSIDE SEX OFFENDER’S HOME IN WASHINGTON

Posted By: Sally Hart August 27, 2020 @ 6:25 am 

As parents helped get their kids to school Wednesday morning in Washington, a group of about 10 people held up signs outside of a registered sex offender’s home. The house is near the middle school. Signs read “Save our children” and “Warning: child molester lives here!”

These concerns were voiced at a recent Washington City Council meeting. Washington Police Chief Jim Lester explained that not all registered sex offenders have residency restrictions that would not allow them to live within a certain distance of a school, “A sex offender has a residency restriction if they are convicted of what is termed an aggravated offense against a minor. And the sex offender that was mentioned at the city council meeting has a conviction of lascivious acts with a child, however that does not meet the definition of an aggravated offense against a minor. Therefor the registered sex offender on South 4th, as well as the other seven registered sex offenders that live in Washington, do not have a residency restriction.” He said this specific man is on lifetime supervision by the department of corrections.

Registered sex offenders report to the sheriff’s office on a schedule, once, twice, or four times each year. The sheriff’s office communicates these locations to the city police department and school district officials.

Lester said the protest Wednesday morning was within the law, “They were not obstructing traffic. I did not see any signs personally that had any threats or anything like that. You know, that is one word of caution that I did mention at the council meeting, that any action taken against anyone on the registry including vandalism, verbal or written threats to harm or physically assault that person, their family, or their employer could result in criminal charges. However, what was taking place this morning was, in my opinion, it was legal.”

Lester encourages parents to have conversations with their children about being safe. He says to use age-appropriate language to discuss not talking to strangers, and don’t go in a stranger’s vehicle or home.
