Cop Pleads Guilty To Sex With 13-Year-Old Boy
An Illinois police officer pleaded guilty Friday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to having sex with a 13-year-old boy in Dubuque.
Donald Rager, 40, met the boy through an Internet chat room, according to court records. Rager took him to a Dubuque, Iowa, hotel on Feb. 12, 2006, and had sex while Rager video-recorded them, prosecutors said. Rager also showed the boy other videos of men having sex with minor boys.
Rager spent 20 years in law enforcement.
I am thinking that he enforced his own laws on society for 20 years.....

Take a look at Illinois
sex offenders and you will find
his brother david Rager,
this is aproblem amoug this family.
old neibor
hey you can take a back ground check and find out rager is a
cop with a lot of problems in his back ground, he was kicked off of one job rumors say for a behavior problem of some kind.
Yeah, i knew his wife, lisa and his kids till about a year or so ago, five or take and knew him too and i he told us a long time ago that his father had a secret family that he didn't know about until that summer(gawd, that was, i think, 2003 maybe 2004, i cant remember, i haven't talked to them in a while)...he was also a fireman for about a year, before he came a cop, till he had gotten cought in a chemical fire and singed up half of his lung. he also worked all though-out the my highs chool.
to those that responded, i am one of don's brothers. there are 10 of us and how dare you try to say that there is anything wrong with my family because of one bad man. i will not defend him as i am appalled by what he has done and i hope i never see or hear from him again. why don't you take a further look at david's sex offender problem. this was a young teenage girl who later recanted admitting that she had only accused him for attention. but he was stuck with the stigma of being a sex offender. she has tried to appologize several timesto him and the restof our family since. the "secret" family that my dad had was a marriage he had shortly before he met my mom and they had a son that we didn't know about until he tried to find out if he had any family after his mom had passed. it was her decision to keep my father away from them. to all of you bloggers, if you want to bash don, be my guest do it all you want. but as soon as all of you take on the responsibility of all of your family's mistakes or crimes then you can come back and try to blame my family for what one sick individual has done.
the teenage girl never racanted her story, she moved to another state to get as far away from him as she could.even though this was her own uncle. david also pled guilty on his own.no one forced him to do that.if you investigate further you will find yhat another brother was arrested for peeping into young girls windows
don rager did not only meet the boy in Iowa he convinced my young son that he was in a "relationship" with him - and this was in Kane County Illinois! so the boy in Iowa might just be one of many! don is evil and I Pray to God that he receives life in jail!!!! My life has been turned upside down because of this, but God will get us through it!
hi every one.im one of dons vitiams.yes he was sick.yes he fuckes underage boys he told me. but i learned alot of stuff from him.i didnt have a father so he treated me like his son but then it came down 2 sumthing gross.but now im 18 and i would forgive him.i would forgive him what he did 2 me but not what he did 2 other boys.but u know what it was our fault letting hm cum by us and we said yes he never forced any boy 2 do sumthing.
Still doesn't make it right what he did
donald W is the local idiot around here
he was a bad man in and out of hotels
wen he was my football coach he told my football team to hit the quarterback in wen he was in the process of taking a knee
he wasnt very good at life
might wanna improve on that
im the boy from iowa...don was a horrible man..i apoligze for ripping his family apart and i do not forgive don...not for what he did to me..and not what he did to the other boys...he makes me sick...and to tthe other bloggers...dons family is NOT to blame...i very much disagree with people saying its a problem with his family its not..its his problem so i stand by his brother when i say it is NOT their family it is him.....
don rager was great man, husband and coach
he just enjoyed plowing little boys every once in a while...who doesnt?
seeriously..the guy is one sick fuck
i am not defending him but the little boy who agreed to doing this and meeting him is also fucked up in the head! why arn't you bashing his family too. I mean they have to have some problems too right? if the boy agreed to do it and meet him.
I am also one of Dons victims. I know of at lease one of the other boys that he had sexual relationship with. When it happened I was just 15 when he first had sex with me. He said he loved me. He called me his BF. He gave me a few gifts. He did alot for me. Its hard to say my feelings about him. He was my first. I still love him and miss him. I was so young when all that happened, and so unstable and HE KNEW i was, and still used me for sex.
Does anyone know if he has been sentenced yet and if so for how long?
He was sentenced this moring to 31 years and one month in federal prison.
Donald W. Rager, 41, formerly of Grayslake, Ill., sexually abused 14 male victims, all minors, in four different states over a two-year period, according to federal prosecutors.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Deegan called Rager “one of the more prolific sexual offenders this office has encountered.”
Rager contacted and groomed his victims via the Internet through chat rooms and instant messages, and also had physical contact with most of them.
Shouldn’t have to worry about him for awhile…
I just found this blog today...I wish I had found it last oct. To
"anonymous" who posted that day, how the hell would you know anything about his case.Are you somehow special and you are privy to information that no one else knows? I think not. She bragged to her friends about getting her uncle in trouble...she thought it was funny.Even her own mother knew it was a lie. You want to know how it all started? He reached for the cordless phone which she was lying on(facing the back of the sofa). He made his phone call and when to bed.The police woke him up 2hours later and took him to jail.Yes, he pled guilty..it was either that or leave his fate in the hands of the court.And if you believe that our court system is "just or fair" then you are dillusional.All it takes is one accusation and in the eyes of the public you are guilty, no matter what the circumstances or how true the story is.David has a family who depend on him, if he took the chance at a trial and went to jail, then his children would be homeless.So he took the plea bargain and has to register for 10 years.
oh and by the way, the laws that require someone to have to register are flawed. It is a blanket law and everyone is lumped into the same category. You could be arrested for peeing outside and you could be charged as a sex offender and have to register with the same people who are actual violent preditors. So unless you have the court reports in hand you cannot assume that everyone who is on the registry is a rapist or molester.Unfortunately everyone always assumes the worst, and its not always the case.Davids kids are the ones who pay everytime some moron thinks they know so much and try to make a big stink about the "molester" in the neighborhood.
Just so you know that his security firm worked for a High School. He was also an umpire for baseball and a ref for football. He umped high school games and was a ref for the Arena Football Leauge. Sad to say but only 14 boys seems small compared to what he had access to. I knew him and most of his family. Never in a million years would I think he was like this. Scares me to think that our family went on vacation with his and spent a lot of time with him.
Finally justice....my 14 yr old son was one of his victims in Illinois. 31 years doesnt seem like enough time but to put this ANIMAL away relieves me! One of the many animals out there that will be put away, one at a time!
You cant trust anyone anymore, not your neighbor, the police, a coach, it's sad but true.
Don is a sick piece of shit that deserved to have life in prison for what he did...31 years is not nearly enough for him.
This is a problem with the family as there is history of it. From the father and several brothers.
Major league "White Trash"!!! He'll have lots of Boyfriends in prison and I'm sure he won't be the pitcher.
to anonymous who posted on 4/23 talking about david. ok first of all that young girl that he raped never recanted. and she did not brag to her friends about it and you dont know her mother so stop saying her mother knew it was a lie. her mother was a good person and a wonderful mother. how come david never raised his own kids? because his wife wanted to make sure that they stayed safe but didnt care about the rest of their family. it is a problem amongst the family and they need to sort it out.
Okay, anonymous who posted on 6/13...you are completely off. First of all David did not rape the girl. It was not anything like that so you need to get your facts straight before you go spouting off at the mouth. Second, you have no idea what the situation with David and his wife is. The facts of what happened in their marriage had nothing to do with her wanting to keep the kids away from his family or to protect them from anything. So again shut your mouth if you do not know what is actually going on.
If you want to make comments about Donny's situation then make them, there are no excuses for them. He was raped as a child by a man and never dealt with his issues and now becuase of them inflicted pain on several others. This is a terrible tragedy and besides his victims the people who will suffer most are his wife and his children who now have to deal with the fall out for the rest of their lives.
those of you who keep adding your comments about the rest of the family, again you know nothing....most of the people in this family are good decent people and should not be condemned because of one sick person.
Also, keep the girls mother out of this....you again do not know her and should not by any means be putting words in her mouth. She was a very loyal and devoted mother, sister and friend so do not try to get her involved in any of this.
im kind of dissapointed he didnt go after me... u no i talked to hime alot in school and i was kinda hoping maybe, one day i would get the chance...but it never happened :( so sad that i missed my oppurtunity
to anonymous on 6/15/08
the girl that charged david had every right to. he may not have raped her, but he did molest her.
donny is one sick bastard. everybody knew he was going to do this eventually. im an old neighbor of the rager families and i know alot about their history, david was charged with molestation a girl, his niece of all things! and donny is a white michael jackson. and donny was not raped as a young boy, and if he was, the only person to blame is his own father for doing it to him.
and make another background check, another one of the brothers was arrested for peeping in young girls windows.
To anonymous on 11/1...I am pretty sure you know nothing about the Rager family history. You may be an old neighbor but that does not mean you know anything about them. Donny was raped as a young boy but no not by his father.
David was charged with that but again you do not know the whole story.
The other brother that was "charged" with peeping was a young boy so first it should never be part of public record. And secondly the real story is that he was walking passed a house on his way home from school and a girl was changing in her bedroom with the shades open and he happened to be walking by and turned his head. If that is peeping then I guess we are all guilty of that because I am sure there has been a time or 2 you have walked passed a house and casually turned your head and seen inside a window.
I don't know why you feel the need to interject into this situation because I am sure you are no one the Rager family even had anything to do with.
Donny is disturbed, needs help and will hopefully get it while he is in prison. He is paying for his actions. For you to say you knew that something like this would happen I guess means that you could have possible done something to change it. So why don't you keep your mouth shut before you go spouting off. I am sure if someone dug into your family it would not be 100% perfect either. Every family has problems.
I've known them all for years and they are all the same. The only difference between the three with records and the others is whether they got caught. I stay away now since I am sick of their BS. A lot of people have hard lives and don't resort to deviant behavior so quit using it as some sort of shield from criticism.
Can anyone that still talks to a Rager teach them how to use a spell checker?
You should all know that Donald William Rager really is one sick fuck. I was young, looking for companionship, and he brutally raped me one night. He would do anything to get those kids into bed, so how fucking dare you say its the kids faults.
Well I've always hear that the two people who have it worst in prison are cops and child molestors. It can't be good for him right now. Here's a recent picture of Don...

to the person who keeps defending david rager, your either very stupid, or david rager. he is back at his usual BS cheating on his wife putting his naked pictures on the internet, and his stupid wife has no clue what he does when shes not around. he even had sex in their trailer with a scumbag fat chick.
Don was the cop that was supposed to serve and protect, but turned out to be the turd burglar
I still remember these creepy security guards from high school and I can still remember how inappropriate they were with all of the high school students. I hope that some of the deans were able to see and hear this considering they never believed the infinite amount of girls in their office complaining about these guys. Listen to your students.
12/10/07 Myra Morales. My biological mother. I was one of Don's (whatever you want to call it). In Carpentersville Illinois. Also known as Kane county. The woman who posted all that religious crap is a liar. She kicked me out of her car (on the way back from the FBI place (where I was questioned). That night she left me alone. She had her late father stay with me. So her plea to "God" to help us was a lie. I've had to deal with this on my own entirely. I knew what sex was and the risks. Also how to protect myself. We had a very open relationship. Don and I. Was it wrong, yes. However Myra (my biological mother) played the god card for herself. After this situation she abandoned me and left me on my own. Don was a nice man to me. However did get into the records and found out he recorded our meets. It's not right. I would have been on Don's side if it wasn't for the numerous children whom he met. I've been struggling to understand this myself. However I was pressured to make a confession. I had no choice. Yes it was still legally rape. However I knew what I was doing and the risks of it. Long story short I have had to cope and move forward from all of this on my own. So don't believe 12/10/07 Myra Morales' post. She abandoned me that night. In my case, good parenting would have prevented my urge to find love elsewhere.
I lived on the same block as the rager family and all of those dirtbag ragers used to play baseball in the middle of the street all day and their dad would call them into his garage the old man was a carpenter he would have his boys take turns to help him with his wood then the rager boys after it got dark they'd go inside and fuck each other in the pooper when baseball game was over
