I would like to thank Galvestonpolicenews.com for sharing this story. This man seems to be a violent sex predator and there is no limit to what he is capable of doing. Since he will be back on our streets next week I would warn all women to be alert.

I'm sorry, did I miss it? ( the reason we are letting this guy out) I'm assuming its not for good behavior. This makes no since. He has not learned his lesson. There is no reason this man should be any where but 6 ft under or behind bars.

Okay, I agree with the previous comment! WTF is he being released for? he is a sicko' and he will do it again!!! I dont understand...I defaintly missed something or we have a really screwed up system!

Much thanks again Breck my daughter has a young pregnant friend living in that block where this piece of work was peeping... None the less to say a call was made to her so she could be aware

Are you people crazy for letting him out the first time ! I agree with the other ladies, this man shouldnt be let out, EVER !!!! Thats whats wrong with the system these days. They keep the less violent people that steal locked up for years and years and then they go and let "monsters" like this run the streets. What kind of world are we living in these days?

This man obviously will strike again given the right opportunity. Why must we wait for another woman
to be raped before he goes back to jail? The system is flawed. Serial rapists must follow more strict rules when returning to society and if proven they cannot stay away from indecent behavior, then they must go back to jail where they cannot hurt anyone.

This time when he gets out, it will be in Texas. He won't get a chance to go to another state and do it again.

Put back in jail and in the same cell with "Bubba", and He probably would never want to look at another Lady. Just a thought.

4226 Ave T doesn't show up in the County Appraisal district, could this be a typo, or perhaps an inaccurate address provided by Mr. Simkiw? I'm going to follow up on this tomorrow with my eyes and possibly Det. Page.

he needs to be castrated...

I totally agree with all above comments. I would like to add though, WHY WHY does this individual find the need to travel all the way to Galveston, TX??? Why not go to Florida or California??? Why Galveston??? Give me a break! As his past history reveals he implicated himself in 8 previous sexual assaults. We all know it is ONLY a matter of time as to WHEN he WILL commit this crime again. And then it will be someone in our community that just had to come all the way down to Galveston, TX to commit more assaults. He should be locked up for good and never see the world w/o bars between him and the FREE world. Pray every second you nor I are not the females he assaults next.

4226 is a valid address. I am his next door neighbor. I could tell something wasn't right about him when I first met him. And, I caught him in my yard twice but didn't know he was a sex offender. Each time he had a strange explanation. Hindsight is 20/20. Thank God he was caught.

the address is correct. word on the streets is he has been seen peeping in the neighborhood before but police were not called. everyone should print this article and post it all over his neighborhood. neighbors have described him as overly nice and freindly. very scary. clearly on the prowl again.

I live in the 4100 block of T Ave. My wife and I have seen this loser numerous time riding the streets late at night on his bicycle. I once asked him why he was out so late and he told me he was patrolling the neighborhood on crime watch, and I actually belived him! Live & learn.

Ladies make sure u'r locked and loaded

Loser !! his daddy should be real proud,, but then again he was a great role model...alcoholic who beat his wife, and who knows, probably many other women along the way. Hope Semkiw rots in prison until he burns in hell
