Daniel Selovich, Who Legally Changed His Name to Pirate, Has Reappeared in Redwood County, Calif.

Early Life and Education

Daniel Selovich, legally changed to Pirate, became notorious in Alaska following an abhorrent 2015 criminal case alleging him of holding a woman captive and sexually molesting her six times every day for five weeks – only being freed when an army evacuation helicopter landed nearby to transport her to hospital, according to an affidavit from a state trooper.

Selovich is a drifter who has been charged with various misdeeds across the nation. Although he escaped arrest in Redding when DNA collected at the scene of an alleged rape matched his, court records indicate he was eventually captured by authorities in New Mexico a year later and pleaded no contest, serving time behind bars before finally receiving an amnesty plea deal and returning home.

Police in Redding have cautioned residents against seeking vigilante justice against an sexually violent predator with an extensive record who has recently been seen in their community. Daniel Selovich – now legally known by his alias Pirate – can easily be identified due to the vast amount of tattoos covering most of his face and body.

In November he was arrested in Alaska for the kidnap and sexual assault of a disabled woman whom he met online. Prosecutors allege he tied her to a ceiling rafter and subjected her to painful torture for five weeks – beating, biting and cutting her with a serrated blade blade.

He was initially charged with four felony counts of aggravated battery and one misdemeanor, but thanks to a plea agreement his charges have been reduced to misdemeanors and was sentenced Tuesday via videoconference from an undisclosed location in Idaho.
