A stupid criminal. He'll be dead before he gets out of prison. Do you know how long 68 years is? Leave it up to a really dumb guy to screw up a second chance.

The mother is doing seven years in prison for aiding and abetting in the production of child pornography. American family values at their basest.

This guy is slightly older than I am. Trust me, with that sentence, he'll never get out. Its practically a life sentence and chances are good he'll die behind bars. Good news for little girls everywhere.

Oh, well, SURE, then! I mean, the crime's doin' this stuff in McLennan County! Everywhere else's fair game!

There is a tiny Constittuional issue there, although it doesn't apply because at some of the connected crimes did occur in McLennan Country.

Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

You're too kind. Dull rusty spoon.

Mothers like this are far more common than anyone wants to admit. Mine is spot on identical but met the perp at church instead of prison.

I was old enough to have moved away but other siblings were not so lucky. We found out later that over the course of several years he abused a sibling starting at 8 and onward. Mom found out and didn't report it and allowed it to continue.

In the end she lied on the perps behalf and got the crime to house arrest for the perp. During the fallout we still believed her and only later found out she saved him from what was according to the penal code of that state a capital offense ( though life would have been the sentence ).

and to think my wife only has to put up with my time spent in computer games and on fr.

I have sympathy for your situation and pray for your family. I know there are lots of screwed up families. Acceptance of that as the norm still isn't something I think is good though.

Agreed. Hope nothing I said indicated that I thought it should be accepted as the norm.

It should be punished ruthlessly and with extreme prejudice in every case.

No matter how old he is when they let him out, he'd do it again. It's just not worth it.

The lawyer probably gets stinking drunk each night so that he forgets his shame

We lawyers, as a rule, usually get stinking drunk regardless of whether we have slimy clients or not!

Rape should not equal the death penalty. That diminishes the crime of murder to equate with rape. With rape the victim, though terribly damaged, is alive. With murder there is no chance for recovery.

Rape and murder are NOT the same. The ULTIMATE penalty absolutly MUST be for the ULTIMATE crime of murder.

i want you all to know that she is still my mother! none of you were there and NONE of you know what really went on! all you have to go by is what this article says. they don’t even know what really went on. ya’ll don’t know how scared of him my mom was. he said that he wanted to be my “daddy”. my mom wanted me to have a father figure! yeah i know that it was stupid but you can’t tell me that you don’t make mistakes! how dare you say this stuff about her!!!!! i know that ya’ll are just sayin what you think but you don’t know what all he said to her. he made her feel like she was crazy! yes she made mistakes but i still love her and she didn’t help him take those pictures. you wouldn’t understand anything! she’s my mom and i still need her. she was a good mom. she always gave me and my sisters what ever she could. she hardly EVER got new clothes b/c one of us always needed new clothes. i still need her. you don’t know how hard it is to grow up as a teenager w/o her. she won’t be at my graduation this year. she’s missed out on a lot of stuff and to me that is punishment enough. i don’t think that she shouldn’t have to register as a sex offender. i wish that she could just get out now.

The boyfriend's a real piece of work... but the mother? How could she not see? Must be love is blind - even to ultimate evil. My only regret is both of them were not sentenced to death.

I think that's too soft... the only way we teach pedophiles a permanent lesson is with death. Abusing a child for sexual gratification is not a victimless crime... it constitutes a betrayal both of the highest parental responsibility and one's love for one's child - to always protect them from harm.
