Editing Mircea Ionuț (section)

== Personal life ==
Mircea began a relationship with [[Ioana Stănescu]] on 2 March 1983. He was 25 and she was sixteen. Mircea sexually abused her from the beginning of the relationship. The assaults continued after she reached adulthood and occurred most frequently before she turned 23. Ioana gave birth to their son, Vladut, on 1 January 1984, while she was still sixteen.

Mircea repeatedly cheated on Ioana. She remained emotionally attached to him but confronted him when she discovered his affairs. Mircea responded by withholding household money and preventing her from leaving their home. He threatened her and sometimes hit her during these confrontations. He had brief affairs throughout their relationship and maintained one mistress for years.

After killing Gheorghe Drăgan in September 1990, Mircea attended his funeral and pretended to have known him. He offered money to Drăgan's widow, [[Nicoleta Drăgan]], and used the visits to begin an affair with her. Nicoleta was born on 2 June 1963 and was 27 when the affair began. Mircea increasingly spent nights at her home in Ploiești, reducing the frequency of his assaults against Ioana. Nicoleta did not know that Mircea had killed her husband.
