*Convicted DC Sniper Lee Boyd Malvo is speaking out.
Now 27-years-old, he spoke with the Today Show’s Matt Lauer. One of the things we now know is that he’s claiming he was a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of his accomplice, John Muhammad.
Malvo also said there are still unidentified victims from the pair’s shooting spree and that he contacted the families of some of those victims.
“Without anyone contacting me two and a half years ago, I reached out and I did that,” Malvo said in an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer that was aired on the “Today” show. “In five different instances in different states. But there was a point in time where psychologically, I couldn’t handle it.”
Lauer told viewers the telephone interview was taped Wednesday and lasted about 40 minutes.
Malvo’s accomplice, Muhammad, was executed by lethal injection in 2009. Malvo is serving a life sentence at a prison in Virginia. The pair were linked to 27 shootings across the country, including 10 fatal attacks in the Washington area.
“For the entire period when I was almost 15 until I got arrested, I was sexually abused by John Muhammad,” Malvo said in the interview.

I suspected as much particularly from descriptions of his behavior while in the company of others and JM.
I believe him too, Melody. He does sound like a classic case of a sexually abused victim. However, it still does not justify those innocent people that he helped murdered. Very sad how he destroyed the lives of others as well as his own.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. SO FUCKIN WHAT! First off I don’t believe John Muhammad molested him and even if he did he should’ve did the very thing I just said on the last column, he should’ve turned that gun on John. These muthas kill me coming with that I was sexually molested mess like that should buy them some sympathy from the public. This sounds like some of that Menendez brothers bullshit!
