Sadistic Stalker and Kidnapper Dustin Beach Says He Has Found Religion
--
Hallelujah. He Has Ten Years to Do Good Deeds Behind Bars.
According to his attorney, twenty-seven-year-old Dustin Beach is a reformed man. Since his arrest in July 2019, he has reconnected with his faith. He has earned some kind of religious certification. On April 4th, 2021, he was even baptized.

He hit her with a hammer, a cane, and his fists. He held her head under water until she passed out. He cut her by dragging a pin up and down her legs. He sexually assaulted her.
Somehow, in Lewiston, Maine, she managed to escape. She called local police from a motel, begging them to rescue her before Beach came back. They found her sitting in the lobby wearing dark glasses and…
