Man Gets Life For Molesting Young Girl
October 11, 2011
An Escambia County man has been sentenced to life for molesting a young girl.
John Cirota was convicted by an Escambia County jury of lewd/lascivious molestation upon a child under 12 and lewd/lascivious conduct. Following the verdict, Judge Jan Shackelford sentenced Cirota to life in state prison.
Cirota was also designated a sex offender. He was previously convicted of a lewd and lascivious act on a child in 1994 and of an attempted lewd and lascivious assault on a child in 1998. He served three years in state prison on that conviction.
In March 2011, Cirota was present in the home of the victim and her family as a guest when he molested the girl in her bedroom.

Prayers are still needed for all parties.
hell prob be put in protective custody- doesnt take long for the other inmates to find out why hes there….maybe some lifer will take care of business (save taxpayers $)…glad the parent/child did the hard thing..and, the judge did the right thing!
i didnt know they would give you life for that lol well sucks for him he deserves to rott in there
Good job to the judge in this case. Better late than never.
He had several arrests for the same type of behavior. In one case the state dropped the charges because the parents would not allow the 2 victims to testify. Had these parents allowed the 2 victims to testfify this piece of trash would have been in prison. He also was charged with failure to register as a sex offender but that was dropped by the state also.

I just pray that the parents of this child gets him/her counseling because I can tell you first hand that this will affect him/her for the rest of their lives. Secondly I don’t understand why it took three times to finally put this man in prison for life! I have put my own father in prison for (2) life terms for the same charges back in 1998. The sad part about it all is he will be given three meals a day, a place to lay his head, and pray that no one finds out what he is in there for, because the outcome won’t be good and that smerk will be whipped off his face!
AMEN!
Thank you Judge for finally ending this mans reign of terror…..
BUT it is a very poor reflection of our judicial system that this man was CAUGHT
molesting 3 young girls in a 16 year period before he was sentenced to life in prison where he can not do this again. It makes you wonder how many he did this to who
were ashamed and never talked. I know plenty of girls who when young never said a word and lived with the guilt and shamed forced on them and some of them were 4 and 5 years old, you know they were not teasing them or asking for sex.
As for the look of this man, have any of you been looking at some of the people
around this county for some time now, many of them look like wild people
who just climbed out from under a rock.
Just find out what prison he is sent to and let an inmate know the reason for his sentence… let prison justice work its magic!
Amen Roll Tide.
Sick….Sick….Sick….he deserves no other comment
He looks crazy, I say just kill him.
