rapist faces 210-year sentence

Sickening. Earlier this year, 55-year-old Michael Joseph Pepe of Oxnard, California was convicted of brutally raping with seven Cambodian girls, ages 9 to 12. He faces a maximum sentence of 210 years in federal prison. If you ask me, that's not severe enough for this sicko pedophile rapist scum. He needs to be hanging from his balls for the entirety of those 210 years.

Pepe, a retired U.S. Marine captain, was working as a teacher in Cambodia when he hired a prostitute to procure the children from their families in 2005 and 2006. The victims, six of whom were flown to the United States to testify, said Pepe drugged, bound, beat and raped them in his compound in Phnom Penh.

Last week, the seven victims were flown to Los Angeles from Cambodia to speak at Pepe's sentencing hearing: Oxnard man faces 210-year sentence for sexually abusing Cambodian girls. He's expected to be sentenced on November 4. Hopefully, these girls will find some sense of justice for the trauma this bastard put them through.
