This photo provided by the Idaho State Police shows Jesse Vierstra after his release from prison, where he served more than three years for the rape of a college student. While investigating Vierstra for that attack, a detective interviewed two girls who claimed similar assaults during Vierstra's high school years, though they did not tell authorities at the time. In the fall of 2016, more than three years into a 5-to-15-year sentence for the university rape, Vierstra was released in a plea deal when a new attorney argued that his first lawyer did not defend him competently.
