Oliver Hooper, who posed as a home buyer and then raped a 19 year old, is appealing his consecutive 50 to 100 year sentences. This animal says there was not enough evidence to convict him.
When doing an open house, take precautions, please. And try to have someone with you when you are showing a property, or your own home. It may seem like an inconvienance, but as we have seen recently with Sarah Anne Walker, preditors think this is an easy target. Now with the media getting the story out as much as it has, copycat crimes may follow.
35-year-old Oliver Hooper, who’s from Gorham, was convicted in May of raping a 19-year-old Dover, New Hampshire woman in her home after posing as a potential home buyer.
The appeal argues there was no DNA, blood, hair or other tissue evidence connecting Hooper to the woman, and that there was evidence of contact from another person that was not introduced at trial.
Hooper is serving a 50 to 100 year sentence in state prison. via WCSH6.com

(Not all that innocent) Freedom of Speech is a great privilege that we have in America but those who ignorantly abuse such a privilege are the ones that jeopardize the continuation of such privileges so you may want to utilize your free speech a little more responsibly.
You tell people to "turn your attention to his wife, kids and the victim and help them." How does making his Ex-wife believe he was having an affair during their marriage help her, the kids or anyone else? Oly would be very proud and thankful for your help.
“For those who were so quick to jump and believe that he was and would cheat on his wife, how can you call yourselves friends of his” You were his wife, supposedly, and of all people you should know him best and have known his true love for you and that he would NEVER in a million years be unfaithful to you. He RAPED a 19 year old girl, while he was married sounds unfaithful to me. Adultery and Rape. How many of us who knew him well suspected he was capable of such behavior before he did it? Amazing how strongly you can contradict yourself in the same posting.
Who"s who in here?Male or female?[not all that innocent]I understand what you have said and agree ,But I thought you were a female.
i dont think not all that innocent is a male. I know that Oly did those things/acts to her and I also know for a fact that he did that to his other girlfriends but he knew them and didnt rape an innocent woman. He has ALSO cheated . you all need to stop defending a RAPIST.
The question his family needs to ask is WHY this happened.
to not that innocent – You are right, freedom of speech is allowed in America. BUT BEFORE all of this started with his ex-wife, you volunteered this on the board. –
"I have followed this board and case closely as I am a very good friend of Oly’s. I have known him for quite a long time. I dated him while he lived in MD and he is a great person. I find I have visited Oly up North several times regularly when he was on travel and otherwise. Even when I met him during these times and we would be intimate he still completed the things I am speaking of above during sex. I am sure people will write back saying he got what he deserved, especially if he was cheating on his wife, but Oly is a GREAT person, sweet and gentle and would not ever hurt anyone. He didn’t even fight. I think he had only been in one fight in his life and he loves his wife and children very much."
Why would you volunteer this if it wasn't true? Just because you felt like exercizing your freedom of speech? And, really you know Oly has never cheated on anyone?
Then you tell his ex-wife:
"If I were you, I would just move on, forget Oly and build a great and happy life with your children. You need to be strong now and you can do it. Forget him, he is not worth it! There is so much better out there."
Yes, sure sounds like you are some great friend of Oly's. Especially the last sentence.
I was a friend, and he has contacted us and we have contacted him. Funny, you say to help out his wife and family, and I don't see how ONE thing you have posted has been beneficial to his ex-wife or family. Just a thought.
Oly is not worth this many words.
I really could care less what anyone posting on here thinks. Oly has his true friends and family that are there to help support him through this. So to all of you who have an issue with me or my posts, GET OVER IT, MOVE ON AND HAVE A GREAT LIFE! Stop wasting your time. I would hope you have better things to do then comment back on issues that can not be changed or to those you don't know.
What a sick animal. Disgusting!!
i new him personally before it happened. i could not believe that horrible thing he did. it makes me sick
it makes me sick to know his poor daughter and son wont have a father to depend on. oly must think that every day when he is in the slammer. which he should. im his ex wifes friend. And im proud of her for pulling through this shit.i admire her for her courage. And her parents for there strength as well.
all of you don't know the whole story and i don't either so how can you judge him?you only here what is on this website and what the media says. media is not always correct with what they report. just remember that.all of you whom had affairs with him nice you told this now like his xwife needs to know this now.what kind of person does that make you!
In response to lulu- What kind of a person does this make those who had affairs with Oly? We are not rapists and not sitting in jail for the rest of our lives. You cant compare the two. I am tired of hearing responses like “you dont know the whole story” whatever, and you lulu dont know the whole story either. Fact is he did it, he is in jail paying for his crime. He is where he deserves.
Fran who do you think you are? I guess you know the whole story and you had sex with him also.You know it’s not over to the fat lady sings. Who are you to judge him or who are any of us to judge anyone unless we are angles are you? Well I know I am not perfect but things do happen and why was she the one he raped? It was said he was at alot of other houses. Why pick that one?
Surely you're not suggesting it was the victim's fault he picked her life to ruin.
I am not suggesting anything. I figured that all of you know so much maybe you knew the answer to that.And if I wanted to suggest that I could as you have your thoughts about it.
not once have i heard lulu sympathize with the victim. its like she is minimalizing what Oliver Hooper did.
Only Oliver Hooper can answer motive questions. And it doesn't appear he cares enough about the people close to him to give any closure.
Until I know the whole story I can't sympathize with the so called victim.I am his aunt if you would like to know. So that is my reason and I don't care for you to know that.This does not sound like Oly. There is more to the story than we all know.There will never be a closure to this. He has kids. Will this be a closure to them?
If there is more to the story then you should ask Oliver hooper himself about what happened. The reason that he "cant talk " in jail is stupid. He either wants to tell you what happened or doesnt. So now, because he wont talk or supposidly isnt allowed to talk YOu will never know. I am tired of hearing "more to the story" like there is something else. You all want to believe that Oly didnt do it because you are family and friends. It wasnt like the victim just picked Oly out of the blue. He was obviously there. He has distinct characteristics about him that makes it impossible to mistake him for someone else. The gap in his teeth and his uncircumsized penis.
The 'more to the story' angle is sad – letting those close to him hold out hope there will be more details someday when he knows they will never come is cruel. He should let his family start the acceptance process so they can move on.
jesse,
you have not be following the story if you dont know how they knew about his uncircumsized penis and there was also a rape in another state around the same time and the person whom rape the other victim had a gap in his teeth. Go back and read how everyone in the courtroom new he had a uncircumsized penis. Must not be following this to close.
for kidding,
we will never move on. maybe everyone else can but we will not. put yourself in the families shoes. would you. maybe others can just leave thier family member in jail but we never forget them even if they have done something that is not in thier nature. that is what is wrong with the world, people forget the family. i am not saying that in fact if this was done by oly it was right. until everything is said and done i would not talk either. people seem to make everything sound different than it may have been.
the VICTIM knew about his circumsized penis –she described it in court and the JURY was given pictures of Oly's penis so they could see for themselves. you are twisting the story.
were you there? maybe you can put some insight on this.i am not saying you are wrong or right.look this is what i am saying we only heard her side and maybe we may hear the other side.we dont know.
Unfortunately, there's only one reason Oliver isn't telling you the 'other side.' The victim's version was true. He is what he is.
whatever do you know him or were you there? correct we were not there so why are you so sure the story was all true? think what you want. it will all come out one day. how could he tell me the truth about it. i dont live there or near by. you know i am tired of you(kidding right) with your smart comments. so i will stop writing here.family does not know everything so why do you think you do?
THIS CASE IS OVER..FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK AROUND. 08/20/08
kidding right,
mom is right case over and kidding you can bite me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mom or any other family- Did Oly ever tell you about his first child? Soon after he graduated WMC he became a father- that is why he left for NC as he did not want the responsibility or anyone to know. He did not know what to do and pretty much deserted the woman, leaving her too. I know because I have been there throughout the whole time helping to support her and the child.
To Oly's boy,
What?? Who are you? How old are you? What do you know about your real father. Your Mom? should know where we live send us a picture or try to contact us some other way. Unbelievable?? This is alot to handle. Betty
Mom- Not quite sure what you mean when you say "What do you know about your real father. You Mom?" Please explain what you mean by this. The person I am speaking of is close to 40 and is very close with her parents. She does know where you live (if you live in the same place) but was told by Oly to never contact his family and that he did not want to have anything to do with the child if she kept it. He told her to get an abortion. She did not and had the baby and is very happy that she did. They are doing great.
I do want to know my grandson if you are who you say you are. Is it fair to youor us not to meet you and get to know you. Again what is your name. When I say Mom I mean Oly's Mom maybe your Grandmom?
Mom- I will let her know what you have said and that you would like to get to know him (your grandson). I can not post her name here due to privacy but you do know her and at one time you really seemed to like her. I will let her know. I know she does not want to confuse her son but always liked you and Oli Sr. and she realizes that you all had nothing to do with the abandonment and that you all had no idea of this situation. His name is Matthew.
Am I talking to Matthew or some else? If I am talking to Matthew how old are you? When did your Mother live? You need to give me more information. My name is Betty and I would truly love to meet you. What does Matthew look like? Tall, short color of hair. I do not want to confuse the child at all. We can meet and never tell him who I am at first if she would like. Please don't wait to long this is really bothering me. Thank you so much.

Please don't wait to long this is really bothering me. Is Matthew adopted or does he live with his birth Mom.
Mom- This is not Matthew but a friend of his mother's. I have been there with her throughout everything.
Matthew is tall for his age. This July he will be 9. His hair is sandy blonde and is really a great boy. He lives with his Mom and step-father and is WELL taken care of, there is no reason to worry about that. He has a large family with grandparents and great-grandparents around that love him very much. He does know that his stepfather is not his birth father and one day hopes to meet his biological father. Not sure what the Mom is going to do now as she does not really want to tell him the truth about where his father is but also believes he deserves to know the truth when he is older and can understand.
She lost touch with Oly when he moved from Illinois and did not know anything about what happened until she came across it online and was shocked as she always really cared about Oly. She realized that he was just beginning his life after college and later forgave him for leaving and understood that he was not ready for a child then in his life but really hoped one day he would be ready to meet his son. I will let her know what you have said and that you would like to meet Matthew.
She will probably be excited for Matthew but also scared so please understand the difficulty of this. Her first commitment is to her son and does not want to upset or confuse him in any way. She knows that you and Oli Sr. are great people and really begged Oly to at least tell the both of you so that you knew but it was his choice in the end. Please do not in anyway blame her for keeping Matthew from the two of you as it was not her decision. She decided to have Matthew, despite what Oly wanted, and raise him. She has never regretted on minute that she made this decision and Matthew is well loved.
Mom- I was wrong about Matthews age above. He will be 10 this November. I accidentally put in my sister's sons age and bday. Sorry, things are going a little crazy this morning.
When is Matthew's birthday November what? Why have you waited so long to come out? As there a possibility that we would have never known about Matthew? By the wayI have always loved the name Matthew. This is still so hard to believe. Is Oly's name on the birth papers? If you are who you say you are what is Oly's nickname and does he have any brothers or sisters? Who did he live with in North Carolina? You would certainly know that. In no way do we blame the Mother or mad at her just confused and still not sure I am a believer. Would Mother's initials be PH? May we have a picture of this child? If you are who you say you are the Mother would know our address or be able the get it out to the phone book. Waiting for your reply. Betty
I would like to say this is crazy. The Mother knows where Ollie Sr and I live. Send us a letter I do not plan on continuing this personal stuff on the enternet. If Matthew is our grandson write to me and prove it. The dates you have given me do not match up. This child would be at least 12 yrs. old. Thank you Betty
Matthews bday is November 1. Oly's name is not on the birth papers as he wanted no part in it. Oly has one sister- J, his nickname is Shorty and he lived with a few different people in NC. When he first moved he lived with a bunch of people- J's friends and then moved into an apt. with one other, I think maybe Neil or something like that but I can't remember if the name is right. Oly also had a green jeep he bought in NC after his red car in MD from his friend K anda family dog at home in MD named Pepper. Not sure what is meant by the dates not matching up,I can assure you, Oly is his father.
I will tell his mother what you have said and that you would like her to contact you. If you still live in the same place, yes I am sure she would know how to find you. As far as you never knowing about Matthew, I can not answer that as I am not his mother and I can not say whether Oly would have even said anything.
Good morning,
I am confused on when this happened..right agter Oly finished college?
You are correct on the people and the places Oly lived. PLEASE have the Mother send us a letter or picture. Was Matthew born before Oly moved to Il? I do give Mother alot of credit for having Matthew, I’m sure she had a hard time being a singe mom and being so young. Who’s name is on the birth certificate? I have so many questions that I will not do on the enternet You write me and I will sending my questions directly to the Mother. If this is true I thank you (the Mother) for having him and you the (Stepfather) for taking good care of him. Betty
why are you doing this now? my mom and dad have been through enough. either prove that this boy is shorty's or just forget about everything. they have to know. i'm sure PLH is a very good mother. don't let my parents DIE without knowing there grandson!!! this whole mess has aged them so much and now you're just making it worse knowing there is maybe a grandson and nephew, to me out there that we can not meet. a letter, picture or anything but this whole internet crap. just let my parents be happy in their older age. not old, but older. you have a happy life with all your family. we need to know all our family too. please take good care of matthew and let him know who we are if he really is shorty's son. jenelle
why are you doing this know? my parents have been through enough. prove that they have a grandson that belongs to shorty. where is the proof? i guess if you say so it is true!!! just like ……….. we won't go there. i'm sure you are very happy having your family around and we are asking for that same happiness. if this is true then when will we meet him. DON'T LET MY PARENTS DIE NOT KNOWING THEIR GRANDSON!!! they're not getting any younger. this whole mess has aged them alot. i guess when you are ready to allow him to meet his other family maybe i'll get to meet my nephew. it doesn't really matter how matthew came about, it's about how he is cared for now. we want a chance to love him and see him and buy stuff for him and just hear his voice. why are you doing this to us now. you could've waited until he was of age to see us on his own. this is really hurting my parent and i. please contact us. jenelle
I will pass the information on to Matthew's mother. I am not sure who PLH is but that is not the initials of the mother.
Let's stop playing games if you really want to contact me you know my address. Either contact me or stop writing. If this is our grandson we have the right to know it if you are playing games the game is over. I will be waiting for a writing or a phone call since Oly is a Jr. Mom
To mom and unconditional love. It doesn't appear the person writing meant no harm in telling you about your biological grandson and has been nothing but pleasant. The family probably needs time to process and figure out what's best for them as far as reaching out to you.
Why would you want to hurt this family by telling them they have a grandson and nephew?And also beat around the bush whether they will get to know meet and know him.This is very cruel to them and Matthew.Your cheating both.Why are you speaking for Matthews mother?This family has been hurt enough.Matthews mother needs to come forward or not to.This family needs closure.Im sure this family has alot of love to give to mom and matthew as they are family if this is true.Its time to get in touch with them and stay off internet.
Thanks peace. I truly agree with you. No one wants to hurt Matthew in any way. Everyone's children need to be protected from any type of harm. As a mother I understand where you are coming from.
I would be thrilled to find out that we have another grandson and when the time is right we could meet him. Betty
To Oly's Son and Peace~
I have several question for you and they may come out like finger pointing but I think as an outsider looking in I find the manner in which you've decided to reveal Oly illigitmate son is in question.
You've stated and have proved that the Mother of Matthew is very much aware of where Oly's family resides, so why didn't you or the Mother send them a note through the mail? Why did you wait so long to come forward with this information?
You've taken a very private family situation and have made it a very public one. This family has been through more than anyone could ever think to bare. So to make such a private statement public would definitely cause his family to put up their guard.
I think you should understand that her questions and concerns are legitimate due to the unfortnate circumstances that they've gone through these last three years. It is also Mother's instinct to protect her children (no matter what) and I see that is what Matthew's mother is doing. As much as she I'm sure she is thrilled with the idea that she has a grandson out there, as an outsider I think it is cruel to bring this new information to a public blog if you hadn't already had a plan on how you would reunite Matthew with his biological father's family. You had to realize that by presenting this information to her that she'd want to get to know this child. Especially if the Mother says she knows the Hoopers well. Then the Mother would have to realize that the Hooper's would want the chance to meet the child. So I think the next time you think you are doing the right thing you should stop and think about all that are involved.
Peace~ The family of Matthew should have thought about this process before coming forward with the information. Its only human nature of a Mother to want to know her grandchildren. All the scenarios should have been thought out before "Oly's son" decided to come forward with the information. Its called Common sense!
Your opinion is surely correct as far as Im concerned.I feel sorry for the Hoopers if this is thier grandson and never get to know him.I just dont know why it was told to them now.Who ever this is hurt them even more.The Hoopers sound like a wonderful family.Its time to stop hurting them.Im sure Matthews mom wants to do whats best for him in which she has every right to do so.But now the Hoopers need some closure.
any news? How is oly? any news on release?
any news about oliver in jail? has anyone visited?
