Convicted Montgomery rapist charged with sexual abuse, torture of a child
MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) -
A convicted rapist has been arrested by the Montgomery Police Department and charged with sexual abuse and sexual torture of a child.
Derek Jermaine Perkins, 45, was arrested Tuesday in connection with a child sex abuse investigation that started on Dec. 2. Authorities said Perkins knew the victim, who was under the age of 12.
According to Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey, Perkins was previously convicted in 2015 on a 2013 rape charge. Records indicate the victim in that case was a 15-year-old girl.
Perkins is listed on the Alabama Sex Offender Registry. He was out on probation at the time of the second arrest.
Bond was set at $90,000 and the suspect is being held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility.
Fannin Co. court sentences child sexual predator to
life in prison
By Alexis Dominguez
FANNIN COUNTY, Texas (KXII) -- A man charged with sexually abusing a child for months was sentenced Thursday to life in prison.
Thomas Randazzo, of McKinney, was convicted of continuous sex abuse of a child and sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday.
After two years of awaiting trial, this victim's mother says her daughter is finally getting justice.
"Knowing that he is in there for life and is never getting out is very satisfying."
The mother, who wants to remain anonymous, says they met Randazzo through a friend in 2006.
"He seemed like a really decent guy, he always had his baby with him at cookouts, bonfires and he never let on to be anything but a decent guy."
Shortly after meeting Randazzo, she says he sexually abused her 16-year-old.
"It's disheartening to know that any man can feel those things or want to do those things to a young child."
The mother says Randazzo threatened to kill the 16-year-old if she ever told anyone.
"I don't care what he would've threatened her with. I'm glad she came to me and knew I would've protected her no matter what."
Fannin County Criminal District Attorney, Richard Glaser, says the 16-year-old wasn't the only victim.
"He had a previous conviction in Arizona and failure to register as a sex offender. He was also charged here in Fannin County for indecency of a child with another victim."

Child sex abuse trial ends in strange fashion
DON LEHMAN
FORT EDWARD — A Hudson Falls man who was on trial for child sexual abuse pleaded guilty during his trial Tuesday after a strange turn of events involving a juror in the case.
Lawrence “Ox” Loveday pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse, a felony, after concerns were raised about a juror in his case being seen leaving the court complex with a court stenographer during the trial’s lunch break on Tuesday. The stenographer was a friend of the juror’s, and was not working on the trial but had been in court to make the record at prior court appearances in the case.
A state court security officer spotted the two leaving the courthouse together, which led to an inquiry and determination that they had lunch together Monday and Tuesday, officials said.
Loveday’s defense lawyer, Washington County Assistant Public Defender Andrew Messersmith, made a motion Tuesday afternoon for a mistrial.
Not only had the juror had contact with a court employee during the trial, but she hadn’t informed the court that she knew anyone who worked at the courthouse, Messersmith said. A standard question during jury selection is whether a prospective juror knows anyone who works in the court or criminal justice systems.
Judge Kelly McKeighan was considering the mistrial request when the defense and prosecution worked out a plea agreement.
Loveday, 38, had been indicted last fall for having sexual contact with a 7-year-old in Hudson Falls in 2015. A Washington County jury was seated Monday, and testimony was ongoing Tuesday until the juror issue arose.
Loveday had been offered a plea agreement that included a state prison term, but after Tuesday’s development and the concerns about a possible mistrial, he agreed to a disposition that will include 10 years on probation. He will also have to register as a sex offender.
Washington County District Attorney Tony Jordan said there were a number of legal issues at play once the juror conflict was noted.
The victim had testified, and his office didn’t want to make her do it again if a mistrial was declared, or if any convictions were overturned on appeal because of the juror conflict.
“In the end, he admitted that he did what she said he did, he is going to be supervised for 10 years and will have to register as a sex offender,” Jordan said. “If he violates probation, he faces a prison sentence.”
He said the contact between the juror and stenographer “was not malicious” but seemed to be a mistake and lapse of judgment.
Messersmith’s office referred comment to Washington County Public Defender Michael Mercure. Mercure said he had no comment on the situation as Loveday awaits sentencing.
He is free, pending sentencing Feb. 10.

Ex-Rawlins teacher sentenced in
child sex abuse case
RAWLINS, Wyo. (AP) — A former Rawlins Middle School teacher found guilty of sexually assaulting two girls has been ordered to serve at least 36 years behind bars.
The Rawlins Times reports (http://bit.ly/2j9wgBR) that Jonathon Moser was sentenced Tuesday after being convicted of several counts of sexual abuse of a minor. He received a concurrent 16-to-20-year prison sentence and another consecutive sentence of 20 to 35 years.
Moser had been a special education teacher and girls volleyball coach at the Rawlins school from 2014 to 2015.
Prosecutor Dawnessa Snyder says Moser used his power of authority over the students for the purposes of "his own sexual pleasure." Snyder says he had sex with a student in his classroom.
Moser's attorney had questioned the victims' credibility and said his client deserved a shorter sentence.

N.B. man pleads guilty to possessing images of
child sexual abuse
CTV Atlantic
A 30-year-old New Brunswick man has been sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to possessing images of child sexual abuse.
Marcel Savoie was charged after the RCMP executed a search warrant at his home in Saint-Edouard-de-Kent, N.B. on Oct. 13.
Savoie entered the guilty plea Tuesday in Moncton provincial court. He also pleaded guilty to breaching a condition to report his address to the National Sex Offender Registry.
Savoie was sentenced to six months in jail for possessing images of child sexual abuse and six months in jail for breaching the condition to report to the National Sex Offender Registry. The sentences will be served concurrently.
Concurrently, why even bother? Good grief!
The RCMP says Savoie will be on probation for two years after he’s released from jail. The conditions of his probation include having no direct contact with anyone under the age of 16, having no access to a computer or electronic devices, having no access to the Internet, and a provision allowing his residence and vehicle to be searched without a warrant.
He will also be registered for life on the National Sex Offender Registry.
Of course, he doesn't need to keep the Sex Offender Registry up-to-date on his address, because there is no real penalty for not doing so - it's a freebee!
