EDWARD Butler, 64, who forced a nine-year-old girl to perform oral sex on him on three occasions, has been jailed for 16 years.

He had denied he had sex with the girl, now 11, between November 9, 2009 and January 8, 2010, but was found guilty in May of having unlawful sexual intercourse.

The assaults occurred at the girl’s home. Butler knows her family. The girl eventually told relatives about the abuse and a complaint was filed with police.

He was acquitted of a pornography charge.

Just 16 years!?!?! This is unusual and totally not fair. He deserved at least 35 years. That poor girl is traumatized and she will need good years to become a normal girl, by going to psychological therapy.http://magazinonlinebun.blogspot.ro/">Andrew
