Leland Beasley: Sentenced to 290 Years in Child Porn Case

Leland Beasley: He was given the largest sentence in the history of the federal court here.

Suspected murderess Casey Anthony may be home free, but we can't say the same of one local scumbag. Leland Beasley, a St. Louis County man who molested as many as ten boys at his video gaming business -- and videotaped them, too -- was sentenced today to 290 years in prison.

That's the largest sentence ever imposed by the Eastern District of Missouri, according to U.S. Attorney Rich Callahan.

Beasley, 43, was found guilty at a jury trial in April of ten counts of production of child pornography and two counts of its possession. He operated a business called Gamestation Sector 19.

Police said at the time of his indictment that the boys ranged in age from nine to fourteen years old, according to the South County Times.

The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Carol E. Jackson, who was appointed to her seat by then-President George H.W. Bush. She was the first woman ever appointed the bench in the Eastern District of Missouri.

290 years huh? Elections must be coming up.

Gee, I wonder how you would feel if it was your daughter or son? Then again, liberals are all talk so we know how that would turn out.

It's easy for a chicken-shit to talk tough on line but I'd bet money that you would fold like origami if you had to talk shit in person.

What's the matter? Why all the anger? Mommy & daddy didn't hug you enough? Oh, maybe mommy and daddy hugged you too much.

May I suggest not feeding the troll? :o) He does this crap on another blog, and its ridiculous.

You're being a jerk. Concentrate your anger on the villain who did the crime, not imaginary "libruls".

Alexandre Burrows

If it was a liberal appointed judge, he would've gotten 3 months in prison and psychiatric help.

You mean instead of showboating with 290 years? Repuppuetcans make such bold statements that only impress idiots.

Many a con will find this ass makes a perfect fit for their "Tetris" block. Then again, he looks like he might like that.

It could not be more appropriate. The number of boys that he molested made the punishment worthwhile. He used his store to entice them. Abusers such as these nee to be permanentlyconfined.
