“Oak Harbor resident Roger Wieldraayer is headed to prison for raping his 15-year-old niece after dropping his own children off at a church youth group over two years ago.Wieldraayer, 48, received a sentence of a year and a day even though a state-certified psychologist recommended a state program that allows some sex offenders to avoid incarceration by enrolling in therapy.Wieldraayer pleaded guilty to the rape of a child in the third degree earlier this year.Under the state’s Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative, first-time sex offenders like Wieldraayer are usually ordered to undergo specialized treatment with a state certified therapist in lieu of prison.But in a pre-sentence investigation report – which are done in all sex crime cases – Community Corrections Officer Robert Diekman recommended against the SSOSO option because Wieldraayer seems to blame the victim and does not appear remorseful for what he has done.As a normal part of a sex crime case, a comprehensive sexual deviancy evaluation is also completed in order to determine if an offender is amenable to treatment. Wieldraayer was interviewed by Bellingham psychologist William Coleman three times and completed several evaluations, including a polygraph exam.Wieldraayer’s attorney, David Walker, asked to have the sexual deviance evaluation sealed at a Dec. 8 hearing, but Island County Superior Judge Vickie Churchill ruled that it is public information.In Coleman’s report under relevant background data, he writes that Wieldraayer admitted to engaging in a pattern of incest with a younger girl when he was a teen-ager and that he has an unusually extensive history of bestiality involving calves, Shetland ponies and male dogs.Coleman concludes that Wieldraayer has stronger-than-average sexual compulsivity and would benefit from sexual deviancy treatment.Diekman, however, suggests that Wieldraayer could get treatment after he does his time in prison.In assessing the victim impact, Diekman writes that the crime had a traumatic effect on the victim. She became suicidal, introverted, angry and anorexic afterward. She missed a lot of school and ended up dropping out. “
