ANGOLA, Ind. - An HIV-positive man was sentenced to eight years in prison after the parents of two young boys he molested told a judge their children face years of medical tests.
Bobby E. Lehner Jr., of Orland was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty to child molesting and vicarious sexual gratification in January.
The parents of the victims, described in court documents as two boys ages 6 and 9, became emotional as they told Steuben County Magistrate Randy Coffey that because Lehner, 34, is HIV-positive, their children face HIV testing for the next six years.
"That's not fair," one mother said, her voice shaking.
Another woman who said her child had been affected by the crimes said incarceration would be the only appropriate punishment.
According to court documents, Lehner was staying with a friend, the father of the two boys, when the acts occurred. After the father left the house, Lehner instructed the children to undress in front of him on one occasion, court documents said.
Lehner initially denied touching the children in interviews with police.
He told police he was a homosexual and had been viewing profiles of men online that contained nudity when the boys walked into the room.
He later told police he had been molested as a child and never told anyone, and had performed sex acts on the boys as a "learning" and "educational" experience for the children, court documents said.
Now now, if only we support same-sex marriage and homo adoption then this guy wouldn't have caught HIV and would also then be able to practice his 'debauchery' in the guise of teaching and education on his own little boys. Is not the creed "SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE".
It sounds like attempted murder to me...and in time it may, sadly, turn into actual murder.
Oklahoma recently became the fifth state to allow the death penalty for certain sex crimes, if they are convicted twice (which I assume means convicted on two counts)of rape, sodomy or lewd molestation involving children under 14 can face the death penalty.
Where's your compassion? /sar
I would be perfectly fine with the death penalty in cases like this.
"He later told police he had been molested as a child and never told anyone, and had performed sex acts on the boys as a "learning" and "educational" experience for the children, court documents said."
This freak should be turned over to the NRA as a target for target practice for budding gun enthusiasts. For the educational aspect of course
Wrong...South Carolina and Oklahoma have made molesting children a capital offense. I hope many more states will be following them. These evil SOBs should be put down in the same way we do mad dogs.
Hey he's only 34 so if he gets out at 37 he'll have time to work his 'educational etiquette' on other victims so IF these young boys luckily escape without contracting the HIV virus there are many others out there that he could 'prey' on and maybe eventually give it to them before he dies all thanks to this buffoon Magistrate Coffey.
Prayers that the young biys do NOT have HIV.
Yet another example of the effects of diversity, tolerance, the big tent, room at the table, dialogue, debate, discussion, different points of view, human dignity, equality. This illustrates one of the reasons why society and the law at one time suppressed these people. I guess people will have to relive history. In the meantime great damage will be inflicted upon the innocent. People had better start considering the doctrine of self help. The present 'leadership' only encourages them in their quest for "Rights!" Now one can see what they mean by "Rights."
I'm pretty sure there will be some spinmeister on TV explaining how there is no connection between child molestation and homosexuality and how homosexuality is a 'choice' and just overwhelmingly coincidental to childhood sexual abuse and not actually related to it. Blah, Blah, Blah.
yet GLSEN puts the GSA clubs in the schools just for this exact "educational experience".
THAT is really sick.
The big SECRET is that YES most homosexuals have been abused as children. It is a learned behavior. The priests who were accused of molesting boys said that they were molested as children.
Homosexuality is learned and that is why the homosexuals want to control the curriculum in school. The younger the child, the easier they are to brainwash.
I am not condoning what he did - he should die in jail, but acts, not thoughts or 'gratification' should be the crime. This (second part) is a thought crime charge.
Castrate him and then give him 8 years. Castration would stop a lot of these sick SOB's.
