Almost 30 years after he kidnapped and brutally killed 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley, Charles Jaynes is up for parole once more in June — a prospect the younger sufferer’s father says leaves him with stress and nervousness.
“People just have absolutely no idea how bad this Charles Jaynes is,” stated Bob Curley. “He killed Jeffrey. That was only a part of his plan. He wanted to kill Jeffrey, and he wanted to taunt our family and brag about it. This guy is, believe me when I tell you, he’s the worst of the worst. This guy’s a devil, a devil amongst us.”
Jaynes is serving a life sentence plus 10 years for kidnapping and the second-degree homicide of Jeffrey Curley. This can be his second probability at parole after being denied in June 2020.
His confederate, Salvatore Sicari, is serving a life sentence for first diploma homicide and can by no means be eligible for parole.
In April of 1997, Jaynes acknowledged at his prior parole listening to, he met Jeffrey Curley and started “grooming” him as a result of he was “attracted to young boys.”

What he was thinking? Where was I to help him? Where were his brothers? How afraid he must have been in those moments.”
Although the parole board unanimously denied his case final time and he doesn’t suppose Jaynes can be launched “on Gov. Healy’s watch,” the sufferer’s father stated, he doesn’t “know how it will go this time.”
On the prior parole listening to, Jaynes acknowledged he was not on the lookout for parole and confessed to the crime intimately earlier than the board.

At times he appeared to be grandstanding, which appeared to be an attempt to further victimize the family.”

“A lot of cases, people remember the killer instead of the victim,” stated Bob Curley. “In this case, that’s not the case. I think people remember Jeffrey more than Charles Jaynes, and I think that’s because Jeffrey was such a, just an ordinary, regular kid. I think everybody can relate to Jeff, because they know a Jeff, either a kid in the neighborhood or a son or nephew — just one of the regular local kids growing up in the city.”
Charles Jaynes’s parole case can be heard in entrance of the Massachusetts Parole Board on June 24 at 1 p.m.
