Lots of prison sentences in the news

This must be sentencing week at the IELB. This is probably the most interesting of the sentencing updates. Most will remember the Dateline NBC stings regarding the perverts who showed up at a house to engage in child molestation. NBC chose the right county for one of the stings in fair ole RivCo. One of the attempted child molesters was sentenced to 8 years in the state pen.

In an interesting twist though another one of the fellows only got 120 days. Apparently 48 cases arose from the sting, and 24 have been resolved. I wonder what the gamut of sentences ranged from? See here for the PE's report.
