Care-giver sentenced to 88 years to life for
child sex abuse
Will Cleveland

The Rochester man convicted of sexually abusing six children was sentenced Tuesday to 88 years to life in state prison.

Keith Wilcox, 60, was convicted last month of 34 counts of sexually abusing children between the ages of 11 and 16 over a five-year period at his Tacoma Street home. He was sentenced by state Supreme Court Justice Francis Affronti.

Wilcox abused six children in his care after convincing the parents, mostly mothers, of these children that he would house and care for them like a father would.

He was convicted of two counts of predatory sexual assault against a child, both Class A felonies. Those were the most serious charges he was facing, Monroe County Senior Assistant District Attorney Kyle Rossi said. Assistant District Attorney Leslie Schildt also prosecuted the case.

Wilcox's co-defendant Andre Lomax, 51, was already convicted of second-degree criminal sex act. He was sentenced to seven years in state prison.

Rossi said the investigation uncovered more victims "over decades," but those instances couldn't be prosecuted due to the statute of limitations.

"It's an enormous sentence," Rossi said. "The goal was to make sure this guy could never hurt anyone again. The court definitely delivered a very thoughtful sentence that ensures that."

Rossi also applauded the strength and the courage demonstrated by the victims in testifying against Wilcox.

child sex abuse case

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A former councilman for the Clackamas County city of Estacada has been sentenced to eight years in prison for sexually abusing a young relative.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that 34-year-old Curt Steininger was sentenced Tuesday after pleading no contest to sex abuse charges.

His alleged victim had reported to police that Steininger repeatedly touched her genitals and forced her to touch him inappropriately starting in 2008, when she was 6.

Steininger, an Oregon Army National Guard veteran, had won a seat on the Estacada City Council in 2012 before resigning in 2014.

He spoke briefly in court before being cut off by his attorney after he told the victim's mother he didn't forgive her.


Attorney Richard Cohen says his client will get treatment for a drug addiction while in custody.
