Convicted Sex Offender Gets 20 Years In Prison

DENTON -- A former Federalsburg teacher received a 20-year prison sentence Tuesday in Caroline County Circuit Court for a second-degree sex offense conviction.

Kevin Garfield Ricks, 52, who taught English from 2000 to 2003 at Colonel Richardson High School, was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage boy in 2004. In July, he pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree sex offense in Caroline County Circuit Court, and did not stand trial for his other related charges as part of a plea agreement.

The Caroline County State's Attorney's Office said Ricks' Maryland conviction will run consecutive to his 25-year sentence in a federal prison after he pleaded guilty last March in federal court to six counts of production of child pornography and one count of pornography possession for a case in Virginia.

A classic example of a homesexual who gravitated toward a positon of trust (teacher) and proceeded to use that position to engage in his homosexual lifestyle hopefully undetected. A certain segment of the gay community preys on children in an attempt to hide their sexual preference knowing statistics are there verifing that children are unlikey to report sexual abuse to authorities and parents. This is why most of the victims are males as are the perpetrators of this horrific crime.

I think there is one locally and may be involved in politics.

Whatever, stop blaming teachers. The same could be said for coaches, priests, Boy Scout leaders, doctors, neighbors, ANYONE.

It is a known fact that homosexual predators are in our schools in Wicomico County and always have been. Nothing can be done about it until they get caught violating a child. Now that the Boy Scouts are going to stop banning gay's I will make sure my son is no longer associated with that organization. The known gay teachers in Wicomico County will not be teaching my children either.

4:09 is quite sensitive over this topic. He must be one of those teachers who hasn't been caught yet.
