        1. Oh my god will all of you grow up! Who gives a shit about ken Vayo or Kristina link …..you two should kiss and make up! What a waste of time and life ! Grow up people she is just as stuiped and sick as he is!

          1. No she is and was a victim you loser. Again blaming the person that you targeted, lied to, stole from when you did this. If you would just move on with your life this would stop, assclown. You, Ken Matthews aka Vayo and all the rest of your made up names are a sad human being. The only thing Kristy did was believe in all the lies you told.

            1. I am not ken Matthews by the way! Oh what ain’t her sons name Matthew? Oh my you used Matthews name and made up the name ken Matthew.. God you are a sick family over there! She Dont even own a house so how did he stay with her? The crime her is that she is using her dad ed to live on earth and use people .that’s the crime

              1. Either him or another poor woman who believes your lies, you cynical snake.

  1. The issue here is not the victim’s relationship with her son, her ability to care for her father, or her own mental health. The issue here is not a case of jealous ex-girlfriend, either. The issue is a man not being truthful about himself and leading a vulnerable woman on and taking advantage of her and her elderly father. No amount of badmouthing by the “anonymous” will change that fact. Unfortunately, this was not the first woman he had done this to, nor do I think it will be the last. Now that he is free again, I pity the next unlikely victim he sets his sights on.

    1. So you mean lonely woman just pick up homeless ex con’s and move them into there homes around there kids and family. And no one should be concerned about her ability or her stability. I think there’s more to the story and I think she plays a big role.

      1. You would know it’s what you do. You purposely seek out women who are looking for a true relationship. That’s why you have multiple accounts on Plenty of Fish, under different aliases you assclown.

        1. No she is and was a victim you loser. Again blaming the person that you targeted, lied to, stole from when you did this. If you would just move on with your life this would stop, assclown. You, Ken Matthews aka Vayo and all the rest of your made up names are a sad human being. The only thing Kristy did was believe in all the lies you told.

      2. When a person uses an alias, they block the due-diligence that would disclose they’re an ex-con. Allegedly, Vayo used the name Ken Matthews instead of his real name. When people see profiles on Plenty of Fish or any other site, they should use the Google photo search to determine other places the photo appears.

        1. You have posted on front cover page wanted….that in very incorrect he is not wanted

          1. This is not the front cover page of this blog. This page is a post that was made in an effort to apprehend him. It’s dated May 24th, and indeed, he was wanted at that time.

            If you read further down the post the addendum states he was apprehended and that he pleaded guilty to the crime. If he doesn’t want his actions to become public, he should stop committing crimes. It’s that simple. Criminal behavior is public domain.

            You’ll notice that I removed considerable negative and offensive comments about him where other bloggers might have left them intact.

          2. That is because he was caught, I agree it should change to captured, plea agreement with victim restitution reached.

            1. Plea agreement with victim is incorrect. The plea agreement was made with the prosecutor. This was a criminal offense. He pleaded guilty to a crime! It was not a civil trial.

              Caught, captured, same thing. He was arrested and thrown in jail. The addendum at the end of the post states the outcome.

  2. Why post comments as anonymous? We all know who you are and what you did. Move on with your life and leave it alone. By attacking your victim all you do is show what a narsacist you are. Pay your restitution and keep moving forward. Saddly, you are a predator and will find another lonely woman to prey on. I hope karma gets you, assf…

    1. Yeah you tell him! I heard he is back with that Cathy lash chick! Bet he con her to pay it!

      1. Well you would know, she knows you are a crooked person. Than again, she fake married you. So best of luck you deserve each other. PS who are you stealing from now to pay her bills?

    1. My oh my this should be called the bitter ex girlfriend site! We all sure do hope the state checks into how her health care skills are ! Heard she has a kid and takes care of her dad! My what has this world come to?

      1. Anonymous, you sure seem to know alot about this person. Out trolling already? The truth hurts doesn’t it. Like it was said before kenneth John Vayo has a very long rap sheet. It’s all public information. This isn’t his first rodeo . This is what he does, preys on women and most currently a disabled veteran. He steals, lies and cheats. Its unfortunate but he will never change. He’s angry with his victims because he got caught. My advice to both men and women in today’s world please be very careful. Not everyone is truly who they try to perceive them selves as.

    2. Please help us here Joyce who is this Cathy lash where he was living from around November? Dont see a check frad. or other things you have posted please explain?

  3. He not only stoled, lied, cheated and dishonest he stole from my family before I even knew any of this was happening. Lie, cheat and steal will always lie, cheat and still. He is right where he belongs. ‘NUFF SAID…… Thanks!!!!! Anonymous learn how to spell tried is spelled like this….NOT tried….!!!! There is such thing as spell check!!!! Use it😦 Lol

    1. For what? Every word of this post is backed by documented and credible information.Ken Vayo was indeed arrested after evading arrest for several months. I’ve reported facts that are in the public domain. A frivolous lawsuit can cost the perpetrator significant losses and additional exposure.

    2. You may want too look at the court records again! Will be a law suit coming..

      1. If you provide valid information that conflicts with the post, I will remove it. This post states that there were charges and warrants issued against Ken Vayo, and that he averted arrest. All of that information is true, no?

        My source indicates that ultimately, he was arrested. Some of the charges were dropped and the judge agreed to “time served” on the remainder.

        It is not rare for plea bargains to reduce charges. If you have credible information to the contrary on this issue, I’m happy to listen or correct what is written.

        You should be aware that arrests are pubic information. This case was not only published on this blog but was also a news item for First Coast News, an ABC affiliate. Here’s the link.

        1. Where do you see check grad and rape and elder abuse…do you know this woman has two sons had even had her son Alan Allen arrested she uses her father for financial gain she’s also on prescribed medication Prozac she is very unstable…he paid a bill that she said was ok …this was a woman he found out that he did not want too be with and she made up all kind of things…I Dont think you have the facts you have a woman that is crazy and tryed too keep and man that wanted to leave her and she made up a lot of things.. Shed lied and them are facts. What you posted are not true facts they are hear say from a bitter woman….but you live with what you posted you was not there and did not live with her.

      2. Obviously the Anonymous texter is the non-classy, illiterate Kenneth Vayo,

        So if your innocent why did you take a plea bargain and why were you ordered to pay restitution. Sounds guilty to me.

        1. Why post comments as anonymous? We all know who you are and what you did. Move on with your life and leave it alone. By attacking your victim all you do is show what a narsacist you are. Pay your restitution and keep moving forward. Saddly, you are a predator and will find another lonely woman to prey on. I hope karma gets you, assf…

        2. I agree, this anonymous is definitely Kenneth John Vayo, For one he can’t spell, and his message context is a dead giveaway. If he put in half the effort to being a hard working law abiding citizen he’d be a success instead of hurting innocent people and ruining his life. For every action there is a consequence KenNetherlands Vayo. Get off the dating sites and get a job if you can so you can pay your restitution. 🙁

          1. Sorry for my typo. Kenneth John Vayo. Phone error. I can spell. My apologies to my fellow readers.

  4. This man is a predator on woman .I was not the first and I’m sure I will not be the last.He Still has a account on plenty of fish .Please keep your eyes open .He was spotted in Orange park,florida thank you
