Manhunt ends after child sex abuser who fled trial before receiving life sentence found dead inside house in Galveston
SUMMARY: Richard Jay Duplessis, a man from Galveston, Texas, who was on trial for child sexual abuse, was found dead after hanging himself. Duplessis had failed to appear in court on the final day of his trial, where he was subsequently sentenced to life in prison by a jury. Last August, a child victim came forward and accused Duplessis of sexually assaulting her since she was six years old. The investigation revealed that Duplessis had a history of similar offenses, including a previous conviction for endangering a child in 2016. The U.S. Marshal's office had launched a manhunt to apprehend him.
