A Pedophile could get 45 Years

Monday, June 1st, 2009

On Friday, a self-confessed pedophile, Jeffrey Brisson, could be sentenced to a 45-year jail time. A prosecutor told the court officials that this sentence would protect three generations of children.

Paul Rotiroti, Senior Assistant State’s Attorney told the public, “This is the most horrifying, disgusting, and alarming case I’ve ever seen or handled in court. We need to keep this man separated from society.”

The 30-year-old Brisson was arrested on January 30, 2008 together with 40-year-old Harold Spurling, his roommate. The officers served warrants for a teenage boy’s longtime molestation but when they found the pair in their apartment, Brisson was sexually assaulting a 3-month-old girl.

Succeeding searches of their computer revealed state history’s largest child pornography investigations. They recovered numerous videos of children being molested for several years. Sex acts on children with ages varying from 3-month old babies to 2 years were seen. In fact, police said there was a 14-year-old who has been victimized for eight years.

The mother of the baby (3-month old) was also arrested because she risked injury on the child for leaving her in a filthy apartment. The woman said that she allowed it because the men offered “free babysitting.”

Brisson’s attorney public defender, Kenneth Simon, argued that, “There was actually no physical force. It’s not a physical injury, more of a mental one. Sure, the videos may be disturbing but I saw that the baby was just smiling.” Although Simon did not agree to the facts on the charges, he conceded that Brisson would likely be convicted during trial.
