McCulloch has scheduled a press conference for 3 p.m. in Clayton. The terse announcement of the press conference lacked specifics on the new charges.

PING
Interesting.
Thanks for the ping. I guess it's not the Feds (i.e. FBI) so it's probably not related to porn on the computer, etc. We'll just have to wait and see. I take heart in the fact that the authorities are doing everything they can to build several cases against this guy so he'll be shut up in the pokey for a LONG time.
i think possible sexual assault charges.
Not on foxnews--can someone post info from the press conference?
Devlin charged with 2 counts of kidnapping, and 71 counts of forcible sodomy.
17 counts for one child and the rest for the other.
Devlin admitted to the acts of sodomy.
OMG. I wonder how they came up with 71.
I can't say I'm surprised, but I sure didn't want to hear that.
Thanks for the info. It hasn't been on Fox News yet.
Fox said they were going to have the press conference and they didn't have it!
I thought they said that too!

I had my tv on fox, too. I caught the end of the press conference on the my fox-stl website. I'm sure they'll put the presser on their video on demand later.
I hope this shuts up those who wanted to think that Devlin just wanted to play video games with these poor children, and that his victims were having some grand old time.

Subsection 4 of section 558.019, RSMo, shall not apply to the sentence of a person who has pleaded guilty to or has been found guilty of forcible sodomy when the victim is under the age of twelve, and "life imprisonment" shall mean imprisonment for the duration of a person's natural life for the purposes of this section.
3. No person found guilty of or pleading guilty to forcible sodomy or an attempt to commit forcible sodomy shall be granted a suspended imposition of sentence or suspended execution of sentence.
