โThere are few things in this world that are worse than repeatedly raping a small child,โ State Attorney R.J. Larizza said about the case. โEspecially when the pedophile videos the rapes for future viewing and trade. It defies explanation.โ
The case was investigated by the Volusia Sheriffโs Office. Assistant State Attorney Nicholas Kramperth prosecuted the case for the State of Florida. The Honorable Karen Foxman heard the case and imposed sentence.
