After accepting a plea deal from prosecutors, a Montana man who was charged with 64 individual counts, including rape and sexual abuse of children, may never spend any time behind bars after receiving a 1-year deferred prison sentence on Monday.
William Edward Miller Jr., according to reports, received the sentence from Judge Elizabeth Best.
Miller will be on unsupervised probation for the next year. If, after the year, the 51-year-old has committed no other crimes, the entire matter will be expunged from his record.
He was accused of raping a 14-year-old girl and permitting an 11-year-old boy to rape her, too.
In August of 2019, state authorities filed 64 counts of sexual abuse of children, alleging that Miller possessed images of child pornography and bestiality on his phone and laptop.
In court, Miller said the entire case destroyed the lives of him and his wife. "We're suffering," the paper quotes him as saying. "Ive served time in jail for stuff that I didnt even do." Miller said he wants to be a good person but has had "really bad luck," the paper reports.

WOW, this is NOT justice. What about the child this deranged man RAPED. Will she get murdered by this "man" like that other woman received after the early release of her tormentor?

carry for them for the rest of their lives and he gets probation?!

It's hard to believe a woman judge passed down this verdict. She's as sick as he is!
