Chapman Pleads Guilty to Escape

Accused rapist Joseph Chapman of Emporium pleaded guilty Thursday in McKean County Court to an escape charge.

The 28-year-old walked away from the McKean County Jail in July of 2007 and spent nearly five years on the run. He was arrested on May 20 near Dunkirk, New York, after a TV viewer recognized him on the show “America's Most Wanted.”

He was originally in jail after being charged with raping a seven-year-old and eight-year-old girl in Cameron County.
