Former Boy Scout troop leader David Mayberry was sentenced for having unprotected sex with a 14-year-old boy.
Mayberry, 52, committed the crime knowing he was HIV-positive.
A teary Mayberry cried in court when he saw the more than a dozen family members and friends there to support him.
The Montgomery County man, a former Boy Scout leader, admitted to soliciting a 14-year-old online. The two met in a parking lot where the boy performed a sex act on Mayberry.
Prosecutors said the crime was made more horrific because Mayberry is HIV-positive and he knew his health status when he met his victim.
"Mr. Mayberry is a classic child predator, plus. He is classic because he wants to have sex with children but he is also HIV-positive. He's given a potential death sentence to the victim here," the prosecutor said.
Mayberry was arrested in November 2005 by state agents who said he met a 12-year-old online and arranged to meet that child for sex. But Mayberry was actually chatting with agents from a state task force, officials said.
It was through that investigation that investigators learned of the 14-year-old boy.
Mayberry was sentenced to 16 to 40 years.
The judge told Mayberry he was absolutely justified in handing down the sentence and said Mayberry didn't care about the child or his health, just his own needs.
Mayberry pointed to the victim as the sexual aggressor but there was no evidence to support that, the prosecutor said.
Mayberry's mother, sister and church community members testified to his good character in court. His defense attorneys refused comment, as did his family.
The judge told Mayberry he didn't buy his claims of remorse.
The victim's mother was also in court Monday. She did not want to comment but called the sentence "wonderful."
Exactly. Hence my comment. Absolutely shameful and disgusting.
“Mayberry was sentenced to 16 to 40 years.”
He should do it all- no parole.
Maybe the sentence should have been a tour of duty in Iran, they don’t have any homos they Kill them all. Amen.
And now we are not supposed to have a problem with the state paying for his AID’s treatment/drugs for the next 16 to 40 years. A bullet would have been more in line with true justice. The only up side I can can see is that his fellow inmates may take care of him or he will commit suicide.
This is just what should be done to the ACLU to shut them down.
Hang him
I know that this may seem incredibly un-PC and hate filled, but as a Scoutmaster and father of a Wolf Scout I have to say this.........
Keep the Gays out of the Boy Scouts!!!!
Tattoo a skull and crossbones just below the belt.
This story (http://www.nbc10.com/news/7374384/detail.html) has a bit more detail — apparently this took place in 2006 — but is unclear as to when he became a former scout leader.
Sorry.....too mad to type.....I am a Cubmaster. Not Scoutmaster.
Tattoo “Child Molester” on his face.
Halloween Trick or Treat is wednesday..
Please parents, look up the addresses of the registered Sex Offenders in your neighborhood and by all means, always make sure your child doesn't go out alone.

Do you remember claims by gay groups that gay scoutmasters would never put the moves on underage boys?
Yep.
Take away his meds.
The Montgomery County man, a former Boy Scout leader, admitted to soliciting a 14-year-old online. The two met in a parking lot where the boy performed a sex act on Mayberry.
He admits he solicited the boy then tries to blame him. Did the boy become HIV positive? I can't seem to find that out.
Cry me a river .... please
I mean, really, what's wrong with these asshats? Anybody I know who would be convicted of this type of crime would only see me wish unspeakable things to happen to them in prison, along with threats to make them occur in whatever way possible...
