The pain of child abuse follows its victims to adulthood. Many seek therapy, but some internalize the pain and then inflict it upon others, continuing the cycle of abuse. Jason Vukovich chose a different path to exorcise the demons inflicted upon him by his adopted father. Jason consulted the sex offender registry of Alaska and physically assaulted known pedophiles in Anchorage. Jason’s story is not a murder nor a mystery, but it is a true tale about a crime that is far too common and a victim who took the law into his own hands.
