Raymond Roy Frye, a previously-convicted rapist, was convicted and sentenced in Stafford County General District Court on Wednesday for his most recent arrest.
On Dec. 27, 2014, Frye was reportedly standing in the driveway of the house he had moved into just days earlier in Aquia Harbour wearing only a shirt — no pants or underwear — exposing himself to passersby. He was apprehended by Lt. Nate Thompson of the Aquia Harbour Police Department after a brief foot chase.
Frye, 50, was initially charged with one count of obscene nudity, a misdemeanor. The trial for that charge was set for Feb. 24 but was postponed while Frye was served with additional warrants because there were more victims who claimed to have seen him, according to official sources.
On March 18, Frye faced a judge, police and seven witnesses for one count of obscene nudity and two counts of obscene display in public, all misdemeanors. He accepted a deal where he pled guilty to all counts and was sentenced to one year in prison for each, with two of those one-year sentences suspended. He also received five years unsupervised probation and must remain on the sex offender registry.
Frye is not allowed to enter Aquia Harbour for five years. After serving his sentence at the Rappahannock Regional Jail, he plans to return to Maryland where he had been living until shortly before his arrest, according to Thompson.
Frye was convicted of rape and malicious wounding in 1991 in Chesapeake, Virginia, and was sentenced to 45 years in prison. He was released in 2013. Court records obtained by Potomac Local News show that he was charged with attempted indecent exposure June 3 in Maryland and was released on bail.
Stafford County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Aquia Harbour Police Department in the Dec. 27 arrest.
