FORT WORTH, Texas - A man convicted of abducting a girl as she walked to elementary school and molesting her must serve nearly 400 years in prison, a judge decided Wednesday.
Jeremiah Sexton, 23, of Springtown, must serve four sentences of 99 years each.
State District Judge Wayne Salvant, calling Sexton a "serial predator," ordered the sentences to be served consecutively, making the total 396 years behind bars.
A jury Tuesday convicted Sexton on three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of aggravated kidnapping.
Sexton was arrested in February and accused of abducting and sexually assaulting a then-9-year-old Arlington girl, investigators said.
A police officer in nearby Grand Prairie had noticed suspicious activity in a car at an apartment complex.
Sexton was nabbed following a chase that ended when his car hit a van and a school bus, authorities said.
The abducted girl was found with Sexton.
A second Arlington girl testified Wednesday that she believed Sexton was the man who abducted and sexually assaulted her in September 2004 while she walked to elementary school.
Sexton, when 17, was convicted and placed on two years of probation for four counts of indecent liberties with a child in Sedgwick County, Kan., court records indicate.
Tarrant County sheriff's department spokesman Terry Grisham said Sexton, following sentencing, was evaluated by mental health officials and placed in protective custody on a suicide watch.
Wish they wouldn't go so easy on them. He should have gotten life. Hey Hey
He won't last 396 days in general population.
Buh-bye, scumbag!
Color me stupid, but, how the hell can you serve 396 Years in prison; further more, what happens when you're released?...send your remains(if any) to your next of kin(if any)?
I could never understand this type of sentencing whatsoever.
It means he will never qualify for parole and will leave prison in a box.
What a great judge! I'm pretty sure he just ensured his reelection for darn near eternity.
If technology becomes available to keep this perp alive for 400+ years, do ya think the state will have to employ it, so he gets justice?
I don't think he's the one that's going to be getting in touch with it.
Actually some other guys are about to get in touch with his feminine side. LOL
He'll be getting plenty of justice. In his cell, in the shower, in the laundry room...
A 55 gallon drum of vasoline might be a little more practical given his imminent subjection.
BTW, nice job to whomever the Judge was!
If he doesn't make parole, his "girlfriend" will be 369 years over the age of consent in most states.
Fun and games for him!
Assuming he's placed in general population. Many lawyers for these freaks are successful in getting them placed in protective wings precisely because they will be targets, a courtesy not extended to the small-time, non-violent criminals who quickly become rape targets.
"Color me stupid, but, how the hell can you serve 396 Years in prison;..."
Maybe it'll serve as a precedent for when (if) life spans are extended to 1,000 years or better.
Hope the Kansas judge is pleased with himself. FOUR counts and he gets probation? Glad this Texas judge showed him this just will not stand in his jurisdiction. KUDOS to him and the prosecutor.
Kinda like Methuselah's age, of 960 years ?
It'll might make some people believe parts of the Bible now said to by mythical.
