child sex tourism case

OKLAHOMA CITY
A former Oklahoma bail bondsman accused of traveling to Peru and having sex with underage girls has been sentenced to five years in a U.S. prison.
Robert Earl Pierce, 63, was also ordered to pay a $17,500 fine and he will have to register as a sex offender, The Oklahoman reported.
Court records allege Pierce took 30 trips to Peru from December 2005 to September 2013, when he was found in a hotel room with condoms, Viagra, large bags of candy, 26 U.S. $100 bills, gift books and extra-small women's undergarments.
Pierce pleaded guilty last year to engaging in an illicit sex act with one underage girl in Peru in 2012. Prosecutors on Monday said an investigation revealed three underage victims, two of whom were 15.
"For the rest of my life, I'll bear this shame, this humiliation, this stigma," Pierce told the judge Monday, his voice choked with emotion. "It will never go away I know."
And if you have any family, the shame will never leave them either.
Pierce was shown some leniency after cooperating in the prosecution of his friend, former attorney Michael Dean Billings, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Records show the men made trips to Iquitos, a poverty-stricken city in Peru that the FBI says is a known child sex-tourism site.
During the sentencing hearing, Pierce's defense attorney and the prosecutor said his downfall came when his longtime marriage fell apart after he returned from serving with the Oklahoma National Guard during the war in Iraq.
Records show he turned to Billings to be his divorce attorney, and the men began taking trips together. Pierce told the FBI Billings urged him to travel to Peru. Their most frequent destination was Iquitos.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – Today, MICHAEL DEAN BILLINGS, 61, a former attorney from Oklahoma City, was sentenced by United States District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange to serve 168 months (14 years) in federal prison for traveling from Oklahoma City to Iquitos, Peru, to engage in illicit sexual conduct with Peruvian girls under 18 years of age, announced Mark A. Yancey, United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma.
Billings was indicted on October 22, 2014. On November 12, 2015, he pled guilty to traveling internationally from Oklahoma City to Iquitos, Peru, from January 1, 2011 through February 21, 2013, to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a Peruvian girl under 18 years of age. Reference is made to the court record for further information.

Virginia man will serve 6 years for child sex abuse
An Accomac man will serve six years in prison for sexual abuse of minors.
Alphonso Drummond, 55, who had pleaded guilty in August 2015 to two counts of sexual abuse of twin girls under age 14, was sentenced in an Accomack County court last week.
Drummond entered the guilty plea in the case that began after the girls’ older sister told social service workers she had been abused by the man and she was concerned about her sisters.
She told social services workers that the defendant had touched her inappropriately and that she worried about her younger siblings.
Interviews with the girls confirmed that he had touched both in inappropriate ways, Matthew Brenner, the Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney at the time, had told the court.
He had told the court that other more serious acts occurred, “but the girls were not well able to communicate so we proceeded on the sexual abuse charges.”
He said both girls had mental issues and did not want to talk at length about what had occurred.
“Drinking was an issue,” said defense attorney Garrett Dunham.
Drummond has been previously convicted of similar offenses.
“This is his third offense, a felony,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Spencer Morgan at Drummond’s sentencing. “He has damaged these young girls. They didn’t want to come to court."
“I’m not sure he really thinks he has done anything wrong,” Morgan said.
Judge W. Revell Lewis III sentenced Drummond to 10 years and suspended four of those years. He will be required to register as a sex offender.
He suspended 4 of those years because.....????!!

Man to serve 15 years in Virginia Beach
child sex abuse case
By Kevin Green
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A 61-year-old man will be serving 15 years in prison, after he was sentenced this week on child sexual abuse charges.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Colin Stolle announced Tuesday that Stephen Kent Brooks was sentenced to 25 years, but had 10 years suspended.
He pleaded guilty in March to charges that included object sexual penetration, aggravated sexual battery – victim under age of 13 and indecent liberties.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney says evidence would have shown that between January of 2008 and January of 2009, Brooks sexually abused a child he knew.
The child told a family member after a second incident. Brooks reportedly wrote an apology letter to the victim.
Brooks admitted in an interview with investigators that he exposed himself to the child, but denied touching the child.
Brooks reportedly said the child does not lie, and if the child said something happened, he “must have” done something to the child.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney says Brooks has prior convictions on fraud and embezzlement charges.
So, is that why the judge suspended 10 years, because he is such a fine upstanding citizen aside from raping children?
