A 49-year old pedophile is pleaded guilty in Franklin County Common Pleas Court and sent to jail to suffer for 17 years after charity workers found stomach-turning images of him raping a toddler. The said pictures were reportedly discovered in a bag donated to an op shop.
Gary Sovie was arrested after the said tote bag of items was donated to a US charity shop. The bag horrified workers as they got 32 confronting images inside it.
As per the Police, pay stubs and mail to Sovie were traced. The suspect was then searched immediately in his address at Ashville in Pickaway County, Ohio. When officers found Sovie, he told the detectives: "I'm a very sick person." The Sun quoted Sovie as saying.
The photographs found had a young girl naked alone while some other images taken were showing the pedophile, Sovie, abusing the toddler. It was very nauseating to look at, police and charity workers said.
Judge Julie M Lynch sentenced Sovie to 17 years imprisonment after pleading guilty in Franklin County Common Pleas Court to one count each of rape along with pandering sexually orientated matter involving a minor, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
It will be unbelievable to see the man released from jail according to the Judge. She said what the man did to the young girl who has been between 16 to 18 months old at the time of the assault was "the bottom of the barrel for a human being."
"Right now, you live in the bottom of the barrel, but I bet that bottom is going to fall out for you shortly." Judge Lynch quoted by Columbus Dispatch as saying.
The judge also imposed the maximum penalty of $35,000 for the offenses plus court costs on top of Sovie's period of imprisonment. In 17 years, after pedophile is released from prison, he will be required to register as a sex offender every 90 days until his last breath.
