115 years to life for "escalation", despite offences being over a decade old?

Post by Jim Burton »

Something not quite right about this sentence, possible appeal.

The verdict was delivered on October 30 after both victims, now in their mid to late 20s and early 30s, testified about the abuse they endured when they were children. Prosecutors said Brocke's crimes often occurred when the victims were isolated from each other or other protective adults.

[...]

The court further determined that Brocke poses a serious danger to society and that his crimes have escalated in seriousness over time. Brocke has a prior conviction related to the sexual abuse of a 12-year-old girl in or around 2006.
