its no comfort for the victim or family but anything other than what he received would be too easy on him. His having to serve probably his life's length and right here in the prime of his age of life is justice once he gets in the penetentary level of corrections. There won't be a minute of any day for the next 45 years he won't be subjected to the same torture he forced on a child.
