I also can NOT believe the parents didn’t believe their children!!! This makes me angry as……
Some of his new roommates are going to believe the children .
@Myself to comment,
Having worked with survivors of this heinous act, I can’t tell you how many were not believed by their parents, but it was a large number of them. Sadly, parents never want to believe that someone they know could do that to their child, so when the perpetrator denies all allegations, they choose to believe them instead of their own children.
He will experience pain .

The more you know the better off your kids will be.
GOOD BYE !! Prayers for the 2 little girls, it’s going to be a long road ahead of them , I’m 53 and still struggling. Parents please believe Your CHILD and then get to the bottom of it!
25 year…. he MURDERED A CHILDHOOD and all he gets is 25 years!! I pray the children find healing from the trauma of the abuse and NOT BEING BELIEVED! SHAME ON THE PARENTS! I hope they get everything they deserve for not believing and protecting their child!!
Predators and Offenders are everywhere. Please be aware of the ones that are registered and make others aware. Understand for every monster that is known, there are many that are not known!
There is only one way to make these monsters stop and jail time does not work!
The parents should face punishment. if the child can’t tell her parents, who can she tell. I work in a profession where if you don’t report abuse you get fired. This girl reached out for help and her parents failed her. Unforgivable.
The reason many don’t believe the minors, is parents know their kids better than anyone.
According to the non-profit Leadership Council on Child Abuse & Interpersonal Violence, one study showed a rate of 4.7 percent to 7.6 percent of false allegations among reports of child sex abuse. Another study found a rate of 2 to 10 percent of child abuse claims were false.
The reality is that the percentage of false claims might be even higher. In other studies of reported child sex abuse cases from the 1980s and 1990s, false accusations were as high as 35 percent.
@Josh justice has been served? Negative. Not even close.
He needs to be sent to South Carolina and then expeditiously
be introduced to the firing squad.
Now, the state will have to clothe, feed and house this degenerate for 25 years or until someone neutralizes him.
Justice has not been served.
I’m sorry but I’m having a hard time with the part about the 6 year olds parents not believing her. I don’t know the circumstances surrounding this case and don’t want to judge someone unfairly but my heart goes out to this child , first to have it happen to her and then her parents didn’t believe her ! What was going through this poor childs mind . This will be with this child for the rest of her life.
Justice has been served.
