Odessa American
An Odessa man pleaded guilty to continuous sexual abuse of a child Thursday and received 38 years in prison, Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland said in a press release Friday.
The conviction for Jose Salais, 43, comes 10 years after the sexual abuse began. Salais was charged for the incident (incident? How about atrocities?) in 2011, but absconded to Mexico in 2012, according to the release.
“He was on an ankle monitor and he cut that off and then he ran to Mexico,” Bland said. “We’ve been trying to get him back for the past four years.”
Salais was extradited back to Ector County earlier this year due to the collaboration of the U.S. Marshals Service, the government of Mexico and the Ector County District Attorney’s Office.
“We made sure he was brought back,” Bland said. “Justice was done.”
“The victim’s family supported this plea and felt it was in the best interest of the victim,” the district attorney said in the release.
Salais was arrested in 2011 following an investigation into claims Odessa police received that he had intercourse with, performed sex acts on and forced two girls to perform sex acts on him beginning when they were ages 6 and 7.
Trial set in Mason City child sex abuse case
MASON CITY | A Mason City man is scheduled to go to trial July 11 on felony child sexual abuse charges involving a 10-year-old.
Christopher Alan Hull, 36, pleaded not guilty Monday in Cerro Gordo County District Court to second-degree sexual abuse and lascivious acts with a child.
If convicted as charged, he faces a maximum sentence of up to 35 years in prison.
Hull touched a 10-year-old child's genitals and placed the child's hand on his own genitals in 2015 in Mason City, according to the criminal complaint filed on April 19.
He was arrested May 6 on a warrant on that charge. The additional charge of second-degree sexual abuse was included in the trial information filed May 12 by the Cerro Gordo County Attorney's Office.

Franklin man sentenced for sexual abuse of child
Man sexually assaulted a child, while the child was asleep
WLWT Digital Staff
FRANKLIN, Ohio —
A judge sentenced a man from Franklin to four years in prison for sexually abusing a child.
Joseph Plummer was convicted of two felony counts of gross sexual imposition in April.
On Tuesday, Plummer was sentenced to 48 months in prison. He will also have to register as a Tier 2 sex offender for the next 25 years.
Investigators say Plummer sexually assaulted a child, while the child was asleep, multiple times from June 2013 to December 2015.
Seems like a pretty light sentence especially considering we don't really know the effects such sex abuse will have on the child. It could be psychologically devastating for all we know.

Roanoke man sentenced on child porn conviction
By Jeff Sturgeon
William (Billy) Raywood Rhodes, 26, of Roanoke will spend 10 years in prison followed by 15 years on federal supervision for trading child pornography, a judge ruled Tuesday.
The judge declined to fine Rhodes, saying she wanted to conserve what money he has for victim relief.
U.S. District Court Judge Elizabeth Dillon said children depicted in child pornography fear that the people they meet in everyday life have seen the images. Anxiety, depression and emotional pain result, according to Dillon, who read confidential statements from children seen in the images Rhodes had.
Child porn offenders owe compensation to the children if authorities can identify and contact them. One child in this case has been found. A lawyer for that child seeks $5,000 restitution from Rhodes, said Jessica Urban, an attorney with the Department of Justice. Dillon said Rhodes will pay something but plans to choose the amount later.
Dillon told Rhodes she knew of no evidence that he produced child pornography or touched children. But an investigation of Rhodes’ personal computer found he had possessed and shared with others “violent, despicable images of abuse of very young children,” the judge said.
In 2014, an online police sting run by the FBI in Dallas tapped into a peer-to-peer file sharing network that included Rhodes, and downloaded more than 1,400 illegal images from his computer. Texas authorities alerted law enforcement officers in Virginia, who downloaded 300 more images. They later raided the Roanoke home Rhodes shared with his parents.
Rhodes pleaded guilty in Roanoke federal court in February to a single count of knowingly distributing or receiving child pornography.
Rhodes told the judge he can’t comprehend the gravity of what he’s done but wants “to grow and heal as a human being” and get back on the right side of the law. Dillon said she would recommend he receive sex offender counseling, substance abuse treatment and mental health care. He could have possibly been helped when he showed interest in child porn as a teenager but never received treatment, the judge said.
Man arrested after telling cops child porn site
tried to extort him
By Joshua Rhett Miller
An Ohio man was arrested after telling investigators he was being extorted by a child porn website he visited for thousands of dollars, police said.
Julius May, 22, told Twinsburg cops he was targeted by the vile site — which he said sent him an email threatening to give police his personal details and viewing history if he didn’t send $5,000, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
Mays later admitted to visiting the child porn website and downloading child pornography from other sites as well. He was arrested Friday on charges of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a second-degree felony.
Additional charges could be filed in the case, sheriff officials said.
Mays was slated to be released from Summit County Jail after posting bail on Monday, Cleveland.com reports. His name did not appear on the jail’s inmate roster as of Tuesday.

Delevan man to be sentenced for second time
on child porn charges
Bretton Keenan
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) - A Delevan man was charged on child pornography charges on Tuesday, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
U.S. Attorney James Kennedy says New York State Police received a complaint from an 11-year-old girl in August 2014 that John Cutler, 34, engaged in sexual contact with her.
Cutler was convicted on state charges on endangering the welfare of a child and criminal sexual act in November 2014, according to officials. He was sentenced to six months in prison and ten years probation, according to authorities. The court also ordered him to register as a sex offender.
Part of Cutler's probation ordered that he maintain contact with the Cattaraugus County Probation Department and was not allowed to have devices that connect to the Internet.
Authorities say probation officials conducted a polygraph examination of Cutler on July 9, 2016, during which he confirmed he performed oral sex on the minor victim. This is what he was convicted of in November 2014.
And he got six months? What a deal!
Cutler also made incriminating statements about his Internet activity and sexual contact with minors during the polygraph test, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. After a forensic examination of his laptop, officials found a several images and videos depicting children engaged in sexual activity.
Cutler is being held until his detention hearing on Friday. Cutler is charged by criminal complaint with receipt of child pornography. This carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 40 years, plus a $250,000 fine.
Pennsylvania man gets five years in child-porn case
Don Aines
A convicted Pennsylvania sex offender was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday in Washington County Circuit Court to charges of possessing and distributing child pornography while living in Hagerstown in 2015.
Dwayne Philip Bowers, 39, of Biglerville, Pa., was sentenced by Circuit Judge Daniel P. Dwyer to 17 years in prison with 12 years suspended on the one possession and two distribution counts to which he pleaded guilty.
Bowers will be on five year's probation after his release, must register as a sex offender for 25 years and have no unsupervised contact with children. Bowers is also prohibited from having any devices that can connect to the internet.
"In every single one of these, there's a child being horribly abused," Dwyer said of the thousands of images and videos Bowers possessed and traded. Those images remain on the Internet forever, the judge said.
Bowers was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography between February and September 2015, according to the application for statement of charges filed by the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
During that period, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or NCMEC, received five cyber tips about possible child pornography being uploaded to an internet file-hosting service and alerted local authorities, the charging documents said.
Two internet addresses from the tips were linked to Bowers' former Amanda Lane residence in Hagerstown and another to his workplace in the city, the documents said.
In 2015, the sheriff's office obtained a search warrant and seized a laptop computer and cellphone from Bowers' home for forensic examinations, the documents said.
The file-hosting service that originally sent the cyber tips to NCMEC also turned over more than 4,500 files linked to Bowers containing images or videos, the documents said.
On Bowers' cellphone, investigators found evidence he used an instant-messaging platform to discuss trading "boy vids," with a link to his file-storing account, the documents said.
Bowers pleaded guilty in Adams County in 2016 to corruption of minors and child-pornography charges and served a sentence in that county, according to Pennsylvania online court records.
He is a registered sex offender in Pennsylvania, according to the state's Megan's Law website.
Assistant State's Attorney Sarah Mollett-Gaumer told Dwyer that Maryland was seeking a six-year prison sentence.
Assistant Public Defender Robert Sheehan said the Pennsylvania conviction involved soliciting photos of a juvenile male Bowers knew.
Sheehan asked Dwyer to impose a sentence of no more than four years, noting Bowers admitted his guilt, was remorseful and sought treatment. Bowers is "amenable to treatment," he said.
"I was sexually abused as a minor," Bowers told Dwyer. "I came to terms with that" through therapy.
