although the defendant is not in the presence of the victims anymore, he will “never be out of their lives.”A federal judge sentenced a man he described as malicious and sadistic to nearly a thousand years in prison for child pornography.
Pierre Earnest Falgout, III was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 960 years without parole for 32 counts of knowingly enticing and coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct.
Child exploitation doesn’t begin to describe the sadistic, cruel abuse this man inflicted on pre-school victims. It is one of the most horrific cases we have prosecuted and life is the most appropriate sentence,” said U.S. Attorney Alice H. Martin.
"To say the video was shocking would be an understatement,” said U.S. District Judge David Proctor who called the case one of the worst ever prosecuted in the Northern District of Alabama.
During the sentencing, Judge Proctor indicated that, although the defendant is not in the presence of the victims anymore, he will “never be out of their lives.”
U.S. Marshals took the 35-year-old man from the Federal Courthouse in Birmingham back to Lamar County where he faces further related charges.
