RSSWTF: Canadian Man Who Sexually Abused his 4 Year Old Daughter Live on the Internet Sentenced to Only 4 Years
THATS IT!!!
How does the following heinous and repulsive crime only get 4 years? Does anyone care about the children? How can 4 years equate to a life time that this child will endure? How can the sentence be equal to the age of the victim? 
“The victim will have this cloud over her head for the rest of her life. The images will always be out there,”
“Words cannot describe what is found in those pictures. They are of a 3- and 4-year-old girl being used by her father for his own sexual gratification.”
One really has to wonder what the deterrent is and how the punishments will ever fit the crimes when the following types of sentences are handed out to sex crimes criminals. A Canadian man was sentenced to only 4 years in prison after sexually abusing his 4 year old daughter live on the internet so that another man could view it. What is even more despicable is that his attorney actually whined in court that his client had been assaulted behind bars. An eye for an eye my friend.
ST. THOMAS – A man who sexually abused his 4-year-old daughter live on the Internet for the gratification of another man was sentenced today to four years in a case the judge called a “sickening” breach of trust.
The 35-year-old man from St. Thomas was arrested on Oct. 29, 2006, just hours after he used a webcam to expose his daughter to a man — who was actually an undercover police officer — during a chat room conversation.
The sentence means the man will serve another 20 months behind bars, in addition to the 14 months he has already spent in custody, and will then be on probation for three years. (The Star)
The perv dad’s defense attorney had the audacity to tell the court that his client had been assaulted behind bars. Can you imagine? The man betrays a fatherly trust and sexually abuses his innocent and unsuspecting 4 year old daughter in a bath tub, takes pictures and puts them on the internet and then has his lawyer whine that his client has been abused in prison. CRY ME A RIVER!
Defense lawyer Bob Upsdell told court Wednesday his client has been physically assaulted twice while behind bars, and has lost 130 pounds since his arrest. (AP)

This absolutly sickens me…
I wonder how many years that poor child was abused before the monster was caught.
They guy lost a 130 lbs???? Boo Hoo
Good he prolly saved the taxpayers some money for food.
“What is even more despicable is that his attorney actually whined in court that his client had been assaulted behind bars. An eye for an eye my friend”
Too bad, I hope he gets assualted everyday for the remaining sentence.
Did the attorney snicker when he told the court his client was assualted? I would have.
Is that St. Thomas in the Caribbean?
In any case … the prison inmates are likely to mete out their own justice. And it probably will be more severe than that handed down by the “law-abiding community.”
Please take note of this story, out today. I find it baffling and nearly sickening that Missouri prison officials are worried about the safety and well-being of this animal.
I also wonder if the ability of this scum to keep this boy in captivity for so long, despite his access to the Internet and telephone, might be relevant in the case of Natalee Holloway.
ST. LOUIS – Michael Devlin received one final sentence Friday — 170 years — for making pornography of a boy he kidnapped and sexually assaulted.
ADVERTISEMENT
Devlin is already serving multiple life terms for kidnapping and assaulting Shawn Hornbeck and another Missouri boy, Ben Ownby. This time around, a federal judge went well beyond the sentencing guideline of 30 years.
The sentence came on a guilty plea in October from Devlin to six counts of making pornographic photos and videotapes of Shawn, who was abducted at age 11 in 2001. Devlin was also sentenced Friday for taking Shawn across state lines on trips to Illinois and Arizona with the intent of sexually assaulting him.
The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of sexual assaults, but the identities of Devlin’s victims became widely known in the coverage of his arrest and prosecution.
Devlin, 42, was sentenced to multiple life sentences in October after admitting to crimes in Franklin, Washington and St. Louis counties connected to the abductions of Shawn and 13-year-old Ben Ownby in January. Both boys were found four days after Ben was abducted at Devlin’s apartment in the St. Louis County town of Kirkwood.
At the federal sentencing hearing Friday, Devlin appeared thinner, with a heavier beard. He showed no emotion, except for an occasional twitch of his shackled hands.
Shawn’s parents, Craig and Pam Akers, were at the hearing. Craig Akers appeared noticeably pained when Devlin’s attorney, Michael Kielty, told the judge that by pleading guilty, Devlin spared the boys and their families “the torture of going to trial.”
Authorities still haven’t determined where Devlin will serve his time. Missouri prison officials are so concerned about his safety because of the nature of his crimes that they have said he may be moved to an out-of-state prison or placed in protective custody. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Friday that prison officials may even provide him with a different identity.
Shawn was abducted while riding his bike near his home in the Washington County town of Richwoods. Ben was taken soon after getting off a school bus not far from his home in rural Franklin County.
A classmate of Ben’s noticed a white pickup truck speeding away. His description led police to Devlin, a former pizzeria manager.
Prosecutors have said Devlin tortured Shawn during his first days in captivity and made the boy promise not to flee to stay alive. Craig Akers has called it a “devil’s bargain” that kept Shawn under Devlin’s sway for more than four years, even after he had Internet and telephone access.
Hopefully someone will castrate him before he is let out.
