Sentenced: William Abney Raped 2 Girls, Sought Child Pornography Because The 'Stories Were Well-Written'

[Sugar Cookie]

A 65-year-old man who admitted raping two girls and possessing child pornography told police that he sought out the pornography because the "stories were well-written," officials said at his sentencing Monday.

William Abney, who used a cane when he walked into the courtroom, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Terry Nestor told Abney that should he live long enough to be released from prison, he should stay away from his family.

"You’ve caused incalculable damage to your family and yourself," Nestor said.

Abney sexually abused the girls – one was under the age of 10, the other under 13 – over about five years beginning in 2012, according to court documents.

Cincinnati police said they began investigating Abney in August 2021 after receiving a complaint.

I suppose he feels that he was an art and film credit and that doesn't count as possession of child porn.

 

[Hermy]

I was going to say that he probably reads Playboy "for the articles" but those girls would be a little long in the tooth for him.

If a similar bullshit story worked for Pete Townsend then why not?

 

[Satanica]

Yes, he was only doing important research about the subject.

Santa got tired of buggering elves.

 

[Symmachus]

Both a pedophile and a literary critic, I see! You can tell just by looking at him that he endlessly oozes and froths sophistication. He always salivates over taking the covers off and plunging himself into the next intriguing story.

Maybe he and Roman Polanski can get together and host a podcast.
