The Difference between Texas and Vermont

Convicted child rapist, Jeremiah Sexton, has been sentenced to 99 years in prison...times four!

FORT WORTH (AP) - A man convicted of abducting a girl as she walked to elementary school and molesting her must serve nearly 400 years in prison, a judge decided Wednesday.

Jeremiah Sexton, 23, of Springtown, must serve four sentences of 99 years each.

State District Judge Wayne Salvant, calling Sexton a "serial predator," ordered the sentences to be served consecutively, making the total 396 years behind bars.

A jury Tuesday convicted Sexton on three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of aggravated kidnapping.

But then, this is Texas.

Contrast that with the Vermont Judge, Edward Cashman who awarded a serial child rapist a 60 day sentence, who only after intense criticism has increased that sentence to a whopping 3 years!

Then there's Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Senator Jay Paul Gumm is committed to making Oklahoma the safest state possible for your children.

The Senator has written legislation to ensure that repeat child molesters face the toughest penalty possible. It's called Senate Bill 1747. It would make repeat child molesters subject to life in prison without parole or even the death penalty.

The migration of child molesters from Texas and Oklahoma to Vermont has probably already begun! Good riddance!
