Having encountered this scumbag in the US I am delighted and relieved that this has been the outcome. This guy lived in a close nit community for a long time before rumors of his actions and reasons for being in the US were found out by most. He was then completely shunned in the community by the few people he associated with (all be it a few of his close idiot mates seem to have stuck by him). Thankfully all have now left of their own accord or have been deported. I wish these other people had testified but can understand their fears as this animal definitely had links to dangerous drug/ paramilitary gangs. I hope there are little to no grounds for appeal and that his sentencing day on October 13th is the last we ever hear of him!
