Man who raped 2 children, sexually abused dog gets 40 years in prison
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An Oregon City man who was convicted of raping two children and sexually assaulting a dog was sentenced on Thursday.
Edward Jones was sentenced to 40 years in prison after being found guilty of the multiple instances of sexual abuse and possessing “a huge trove of child pornography,” the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office said.
“The victims are now 15 and 12. The sexual abuse of the younger child began at age three to four years old,” the DA’s office said. “Investigators discovered more than 10,000 images of child pornography in Jones’ possession including a video of him having sex with the older victim.”
The mother of the two children was allegedly aware of the sexual abuse. After being charged with two counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment last month, she has a pending court case against her, officials said.
As for Jones, he pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree rape, first- and second-degree sodomy, two counts of sexually assaulting an animal and three counts of first-degree encouraging sexual abuse of a child.
Elementary teacher jailed for 215 years after filming himself sexually abusing students
Former teacher Kim Wilson was sentenced after he was convicted of multiple counts of disturbing lewd acts on children
A former elementary school teacher has been sentenced to 215 years to life in prison after he admitted to filming himself sexually abusing students.
The sentenced was handed down on Friday after Kim Wilson, 64, pleaded guilty to nine counts of committing lewd acts on a child in February. Wilson was a former teacher at Del Paso Heights Elementary School.
Prosecutors said he confessed to having multiple victims. The Sacramento District Attorney's office said Wilson had set up a broadcasting club for students, with its own designated room.
He would take female students to the room alone and commit sexual acts on them, often capturing photos or recording the incidents, the office said in a statement.
While most of the sexual assaults took place in the school broadcasting room, some victims were also assaulted at Wilson's home during events he hosted. After learning about the sexual assaults, Sacramento police detectives conducted a search of Wilson's home.
According to the Sacramento District Attorney's office, authorities discovered a number of disturbing items including: "child-sized sex toys, child-sized artificial genitalia, and a child-sized torso with artificial genitalia. Additionally, detectives located a substantial amount of VHS tapes, DVDs and other digital storage devices containing videos depicting Wilson sexually assaulting his students. The videos depicted conduct spanning multiple years with numerous students."
Multiple decades is more like it!
"The recorded content also showed Wilson forcing students to look into the camera while saying and depicting sexual acts," the District Attorney's office added.
Under California law, Wilson will be eligible for parole after serving 20 years of his 215-year-to-life sentence. According to court documents, Wilson has been behind bars since his arrest in late January 2023.
He ought never to see the light of day again!
Taking into account time already served, he'll need to complete 17 more years before becoming eligible for parole.
Wilson and his previous employer, the Twin Rivers Unified School District, are facing a another lawsuit filed in June 2023 by a female student who claimed she was "physically and sexually assaulted, sexually harassed, molested, threatened and intimidated" by the now-incarcerated educator during school hours on the Del Paso Heights Elementary School campus, according to the complaint obtained by USA TODAY.
The same case accuses the Twin Rivers Unified School District of "mishandling student complaints and failing to document, investigate and report complaints" of sexual misconduct by the now-former district employee.
The student, who was just seven years old at the time, claimed the abuse took place when she was in second grade during the 2013-2014 school year, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit also alleges that Wilson frequently gave "frontal hugs to female students on school grounds" and regularly pulled the accuser and other girls "out of their scheduled class periods and/or recess periods" to invite them into a "secluded and unsupervised broadcast room" on the elementary school's campus.
Attorney Lauren Cerri, who represented a different student in a similar lawsuit against Wilson and the district, told The Sacramento Bee, "Sadly there's a repeated pattern of schools putting their image and reputations over the safety of students, turning a blind eye to complaints and ignoring red flags."
School and District administrators need to pay a price for this!
Convicted sex offender in Louisiana agrees to be castrated by state: reports
(NewsNation) — A convicted sex offender in Louisiana has been sentenced to physical and chemical castration as part of a plea deal, according to reports.
The district attorney for Vernon Parish in Louisiana confirmed the man’s sentence to People and local outlet KPLC 7.
On Tuesday, Thomas Allen McCartney, 37, pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree rape of a child under the age of 13. The guilty plea concerns an arrest in 2023 after McCartney was caught “engaging in sexual contact” with a 7-year-old girl, according to reports.
McCartney has a history of child sex abuse, with a conviction for aggravated rape in 2011. KPLC reported that he was also arrested in 2006 and 2010 on sexual abuse charges against minors.
In addition to castration, McCartney’s plea deal includes 40 years in state prison.
“This is a horrific crime that never should have happened,” Vernon Parish District Attorney Terry Lambright said in a statement obtained by KPLC. “Thomas McCartney is a predator that needs to be locked away from others in our community.”
In 2024, Louisiana became the first state to allow surgical castration to be used as a punishment for sex crimes against minors. Surgical castration, unlike chemical castration which is achieved via medications which decrease sex drive, is an invasive procedure which can involve removal of the testicles.
“This is a consequence,” Republican state Sen. Valarie Hodges said during a committee hearing on the bill in April 2024, the Associated Press reported. “It’s a step over and beyond just going to jail and getting out.”
