Abigail Spanberger’s parole board is considering releasing the infamous Ocean View rapist who received a life sentence for terrorizing women in Norfolk & Va Beach. Here is a quote from a victim: “A piece of me died that day. There's a piece of me I will never get back.”
“If he gets out of prison, I firmly believe, and I'm not the only one that thinks that, that he will rape again,” she said.
Call the Va Parole Board and tell them NO to releasing Anthony McGaha 804-674-3081
🚨New: One of the most infamous criminals in modern Virginia history could soon be released from prison, even though a state investigation found the rapist should not be eligible for parole.
One of the man’s victims told me she’s terrified Gov. Abigail Spanberger's new parole board will let him out, even though he was sentenced to over two hundred years in prison.
In the late 1980s, the serial rapist terrorized multiple women in Hampton Roads.
Anthony McGaha was dubbed the “Ocean View Rapist.”
McGaha was convicted of breaking into the homes of six different women and raping them.
To the shock of his surviving victims, he has a parole hearing next week and he could be released.
“It was four in the morning and I was sleeping,” one of the victims told me. “Safe and sound in my home, and I was woken up by someone on top of me with a knife to my throat.”
“And your child was in the other room?” Minock asked.
“Yes,” she replied. “A piece of me died that day. There's a piece of me I will never get back.”
“If he gets out of prison, I firmly believe, and I'm not the only one that thinks that, that he will rape again,” she said.
Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares sent a letter to the parole board urging them not to release McGaha.
“The record on McGaha's dangerousness and lack of remorse could not be clearer,” said Miyares. “He told investigators he 'wasn't raping' his victims; he was 'making love to them,' while separately admitting he did not have their consent. At sentencing, Judge Robert W. Stewart specifically noted McGaha's utter lack of remorse and his belief that he was 'invincible.' That combination of predatory calculation, total absence of empathy, and a self-image of invincibility is precisely the profile of an offender who remains a threat to public safety today, regardless of his age or time served.”
A WJLA investigation found Spanberger’s parole board is approving significantly more parole requests than former Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s parole board

🚨 Shannon Taylor, in her own words:
💬 Progressive values "should be the core of any government official in whatever capacity [they serve]."
Not the Constitution. Not the law. Not equal treatment for every constituent. ⚖️
Public office is a public trust, not a political agenda. 🇺🇸#VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics

EVERY.

VIRGINIA.
DEMOCRAT.
Voted NO on tax cuts. NO on more money back in your pocket.
They cannot be trusted.
Democrats OPPOSED helping Americans keep more of their hard earned money — AND — they BLOCKED paychecks for hundreds of thousands of hardworking Americans for nearly four months!
Republicans deliver REAL, POSITIVE solutions. Democrats delivered the two LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS in U.S. history.
It’s common sense vs. crazy, and Democrats are on the side of CRAZY every time.

Soft Shannon Taylor is totally unhinged.
She’s never met a violent criminal she doesn’t want to give a light sentence to.
We can’t afford to have her extremism in Congress.
That’s exactly why 14 sheriffs in #VA01 have endorsed @ReElectWittman.
Virginia Democrat Shannon Taylor doesn't know why she's called "soft-on-crime" because she is "proud" of the work she did as a prosecutor.
Taylor is "proud" she gave an infant abuser - who abused NINE premature babies in her care - a lax plea deal.
SICK!

Honored to have the endorsement of @NFIB, the nation's leading voice for small business. Last year we made the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent, and I'll keep fighting for policies that help Virginia's small businesses grow, hire, and thrive. They're the backbone of our communities across the First District. 🇺🇸

🚨 Look closely at Shannon Taylor's record:
👶 A NICU nurse abused 9 premature babies. Sentence: 3 years, the maximum under the plea deal Taylor struck.
🏥 A nursing aide sexually abused two nursing home residents, per state findings. Taylor declined to prosecute. Less than 5 months later, he abused a third. 🚨
Soft on abusers. Vulnerable victims deserve a prosecutor who fights for them. ⚖️ #VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics #PublicSafety

Every voter in the First District should see this. ⬇️
🚨 A woman nine months pregnant was murdered. Her unborn son died too.
Capital murder charges were on the table when Shannon Taylor took office. She dropped them. ❌
The victim's niece met with her face to face and begged her to reinstate the charge. Taylor said no.
If that's her judgment on a case this public and this scrutinized, what does it say about the cases nobody's watching? 🔍#VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics #PublicSafety

Thank you, Marvin Franz, for the kind words in the Daily Press. It is an honor to work for Virginia's 1st District, and I will continue to deliver results for the First District, from local bridges to national defense priorities.
Virginia's 1st District deserves a proven, effective voice in Congress. 🇺🇸 #VA01 #Virginia #Williamsburg
Read Marvin’s full letter below. ⬇️
When was the last time you saw a congressman deliver a bridge, a water system, and a national defense win in the same year? U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman has.
Since 2007, Wittman has represented Virginia’s 1st District, and his record shows steady, tangible results. He has worked to include $4.4 million in federal funding for the Urbanna Marina Bridge and $3.96 million for the Jamestown Water Mitigation Project in the 2027 fiscal year budget, both approved by the House Appropriations Committee. In Chesterfield County (chesterfield.gov/m/newsflash…), he helped to deliver $8 million for the Powhite Parkway Extension. As co-chairman of the House Defense Modernization Caucus, he has worked to strengthen the nation’s defense innovation ecosystem through the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act.
Wittman’s work extends beyond infrastructure and defense. He sponsored the House bill that secured federal recognition for six Virginia Native American tribes (apnews.com/general-news-41ae…), and he has spent his career working to protect the Chesapeake Bay. As co-chairman of the House Rural Broadband Caucus, he has pushed to bring high-speed internet to unserved parts of the district. This year, he was named a 2026 Champion of Scienc (sciencecoalition.org/2026/03…)e by the Science Coalition, jointly nominated by VCU and Old Dominion University. Wittman received a District Excellence Award (wittman.house.gov/newsroom/p…) along with an A+ rating for his voting record in Congress, according to his office.
After nearly two decades in office, I believe Wittman is still bringing home results for the 1st District, from local bridges to national defense priorities.
Virginia’s 1st District deserves a proven, effective voice in Congress.

I’m always proud to support veteran-owned small businesses…! It’s amazing to see our veterans continue serving our communities and creating opportunities here in Hampton Roads. Thank you again to @SecVetAffairs for coming to #VA02..!
Veterans can do anything, including making ice cream. Last week I dropped by this Veteran-owned business in Virginia Beach with my friend @RepJenKiggans, who supports our work to put Veterans FIRST in Virginia Beach!

Fake Moderate Spanberger politicized the parole board to release as many violent criminals as possible.
The result? A serial rapist may soon be lurking in YOUR neighborhood.
Virginia Democrats will not keep your family safe.

“We’re all paying for it here in Hampton Roads.”
Says the person who doesn’t even live in the district she’s running to represent.
Jen Kiggans is a tireless patriot who delivered historic tax cuts for working Virginians.
Elaine Luria is a swamp creature who spent her time in Congress enriching herself.
Jen Kiggans lives by the Washington code: Make up lies to hold onto power because she can’t defend her own record of voting with Donald Trump 100% of the time for more wars, more corruption, and higher prices. She will say and do anything to get re-elected and we’re all paying the price for it here in Hampton Roads.

Reminder that ZERO Virginia Democrats have had the courage to call out Spanberger’s insane sanctuary policies.
Not one candidate for Congress.
Not one elected member of the General Assembly or local official.
They all endorse this madness.

When Virginia Democrats talk about people “losing” their coverage, this is who they’re talking about.
Republicans are fighting to preserve benefits for those rightfully entitled to them.

Virginia doesn’t need its own AOC. This endorsement should be all voters need to know that Tom Perriello would be a total disaster for #VA05.
@AOC : “If we want a Congress that actually fights for working people, we must take back the House in November. That is why I am endorsing Tom Perriello for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District. I would be proud to fight alongside Tom to rid Washington of corruption.”

REMINDER: Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria does not even live in the district she is running to represent.
FOX: "Luria did not actually vote herself in this race. She still lives in Norfolk, a constituent of Congressman Bobby Scott."
RNC Research
Far-Left Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria still not does live in the district where she is running for Congress despite promising voters she would move.
Why doesn't Luria want to live in the district she is running to represent?
