FUGITIVE WANTED BY DOC IN KING COUNTY August 8, 2014 -- A convicted child rapist is running under the radar in King County. The victims of Level 2 sex offender, Lars Willoya, were a young girl he preyed on for several years, and a teen girl he forced into sex. "Willoya is currently on supervision with the DOC for two counts of a rape of a child first degree, in which he sexually abused the victim when she was seven years old,” Ofc.
