A homeowner in Aquia Harbour rented a room out to a man who turned out to be a convicted sex offender. Within days of moving in, Raymond Roy Frye was arrested for indecent exposure. According to police, the homeowner claimed not to know that Frye was a sex offender. Frye is listed online on the sex offender registry.
On Saturday, Dec. 27, Frye was allegedly standing in the driveway where he was living on the 2000 block of Aquia Drive wearing only a shirt — no pants or underwear — exposing himself to passersby, police said. He was apprehended by Lt. Nate Thompson of the Aquia Harbour police after a brief foot chase. Stafford County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Aquia Harbour Police Department in the arrest.
Frye, 50, pled guilty to rape and malicious wounding in 1991 in Chesapeake, Virginia, and was sentenced to 45 years in prison. He was denied parole multiple times, usually because of the “serious nature and circumstances of [the] offense,” according to documents obtained from the Virginia Department of Corrections.
According to official sources, Frye was released from prison in 2013 and lived in Maryland until moving to Stafford last week while serving the probation part of his sentence. Information on the Maryland sex offender registry confirms that he was living in Taneytown, Maryland until recently.
Court records obtained by Potomac Local show that he was charged with attempted indecent exposure June 3 in Maryland. The records indicate that bail was initially denied, then Frye was ordered under home detention on June 6. Bail was set after a second bail review July 9 and posted that same day.
Frye is currently being held without bond in the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
Aquia Harbour Police Chief Patricia Harman said that people who rent to others should practice due diligence within the confines of landlord/tenant laws and take every precaution before opening their homes to people they don’t know.
