According to court records, this is not Beasley’s first brush with the law.

In Allen Superior Court, Beasley was initially charged in May 1985 with rape and criminal deviate conduct, accused of sexually assaulting an acquaintance. However, he later pleaded guilty to the amended charge of battery and was ordered to serve two years of an eight-year sentence.

It was while in jail that Beasley met a volunteer chaplain and accepted God, according to a 1997 Journal Gazette article.
