News_Editor Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 California man sentenced over 600 years for sexually abusing underage relative 2011-01-26 09:49:07 GMT+7 (ICT) NORWALK, CALIFORNIA (BNO NEWS) -- A California man was sentenced to more than 600 years for sexually molesting an underage relative of his for two years, prosecutors said Tuesday. Michael Benjamin Burch, 66, of Whittier, California, was convicted by a jury on December 21, 2010 of three counts each of forcible rape, oral copulation of a person under 14 and lewd act upon a child. Burch began engaging in sex acts with the girl when she was 11 years old and continued to abuse her during a two-year period. Furthermore, in 1983, he had been previously convicted in Orange County for sexually abusing two other girls, who are also relatives. The court judge imposed the maximum possible sentence, and Burch received a 675-year to life term in state prison. -- © BNO News All rights reserved 2011-01-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I never understand these sentences. I mean are they going to keep this paedos head alive in a glass jar until the year 2686 or something? Why not simply say life without the possibility of parole, life to mean life?
