ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- A former teacher is facing a 25-year prison sentence after admitting to a decades-long pattern of molesting teenage boys in the United States and Japan.
Fifty-year-old Kevin Ricks of Federalsburg, Md., had already received a one-year prison sentence in a Virginia court for taking indecent liberties with a minor while teaching at Osbourn High School in Manassas. But his guilty plea Thursday in federal court to child pornography charges exposes him to a much greater prison term.
As part of a plea bargain, both prosecutors and the defense will recommend a 25-year sentence.
Ricks admitted a pattern of assaults that began when he was a 19-year-old camp counselor. Molestations continued while teaching English in Japan and at teaching stints in Danville and Manassas.

Drug dealers face 25yrs for their crimes....but if you rape and molest little kids for decades you face the same sentence. Who makes these laws? This guy should be shot.
