The man in the picture is actually named Jonathan Watson and was sent to prison for shooting Garret Benson to death in 2008. There was no mention in the story of Watson even having a sister, let alone of her being raped by Benson. Watson did kill two child molesters, not five. https://heavy.com/news/2020/02/jonathan-watson/
