Earlier this year, a New Jersey child sex predator, Gary Wolchesky, sentenced to 46 years in prison has reportedly died in the home state. But, it turned out to be a hoax, a fake news. An appeal had been granted to him for representing that pedophiles are victims of discrimination earlier this year.
In late January 2020, the supreme court accepted his appeal on the basis of constitutional rights and not the defendant’s “unusual strategy”. He had made headlines for advocating pedophiles as a persecuted minority. He must server at-least 32 years in prison before being eligible for a parole.
Gary Wolchesky Death/Died Hoax & Arrest
Arrested in 2009, Gary Wolchesky trial took seven years to enter the court. The 31-year-old is still alive and currently serving the 46-year sentence in prison after being convicted in 2016.
The now-31-year-old Gary Wolchesky was first arrested in 2009 but it took seven years before his trial started.
The court released documents stating that the delay was caused by Gary representing himself and not hiring an attorney. Investigation delay and imposing new charges were considered different reasons for the delay.
The Truth
According to Snopes and Lead Stories, it 2017 when the ‘decapitated corpse story’ was used to create viral and fake news content. That story claimed dead predator to be William Smith. But, there is neither the name of Gary Wolchesky nor does it mention Smith in the adjacent image next to his mugshot.
It looks like a network of fake news sites wanted to create something viral, so they appeared to have created a social media campaign. The original story was posted on a well-known fake website, and the incident took place in Texas rather than Florida.
