Larry Lorenz Burg, his hands and feet shackled and his eyes behind a thick pair of glasses, sat stoically in a courtroom Friday as the mother of a preteen girl he molested described the horror the girl experienced at his hands. The 59-year-old, gray-hair

I think it likely that he will NOT die in prison

Even 230 years doesn't seem long enough of a sentence for someone who preys upon children. Chances are he will only serve a few years then be let out to molest more children.

I think that along with the 230 years this man should be castrated so that every day of the rest of his life he will be reminded of his punishment for what he did.

230 years in prison, he should never get out. No TV or internet, no airconditioning or heat, and no hot or cold food or water. no memoirs, no media contact, etc., all sound appropriate to me. He's lucky that he gets to live...

I hope this will serve as a lesson for parents to be more alert to where their children are,and who they are with.

All those convicted of sex crimes against our children should remain behind bars for life. Time and time again it is proven they DO NOT change.

With the courts going the way they are, he'll probably be out in no time and be on the prowl all over again. Guys like this need to be strung up without delay, before any court can free him.

He is a monster and parents need to pay very close attention to their children who and where they spend their time with. It's their responsibility as parents.

I wish I could be as forgiving as some, but I cannot for I would be a hypocrit (?) There are no excuses, NONE, for such sick crimes as this. So although he is sentenced for 230 years, this young girl will serve life, in her mind for what he did to her. So a message to the young girl...I am on your side, you did nothing wrong, and I will keep you in my thoughts.

For the lives and/or souls he took with his molestations, his life behind bars until his death is fitting. They should castrate him at the same time, just because!

230 years in prison seems unrealistic, medieval, disproportionate. The acts were non violent, and violence is the worst offence there is.
How much would he have gotten for a murder? 15 years?
The appropriate sentence, in my view, should be 5-10 years, depending on circumstances.

Ahhhh. Petr B. considers molesting children a 'minor' offense? A sentence of 5 to 10 years would assure that the molester would get out of jail......to molest MORE children. NOW, why would Petr B. be an advocate for this??? Maybe police should look into Petr B.'s activities??

hahaha .. let police "look into my activities" .. and what is this, a police state? .....but let me remind you - people sentenced to "15 years in prison for a rape", end up "killing 6" - as the recent massacre news in Ohio shows ... meaning - law cannot abuse with medieval, nonsensical, abusive sentences. ..... anyway, just what happened in this case? .... further, child poverty is another, real abuse by society.
