400 Lb. Man Sexually Abused 3 of his Kids

A 36-year-old man fled Des Moines, Iowa after he was charged with 8 counts of child sexual abuse with 3 of his offspring. The man with the initials J.B. supposedly abused his children with his wives’ knowledge. She was arrested on Monday on neglect charges and is not allowed to have any contact with her 9 children. The police are still on a search for the father, who may be at Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic: The Gathering card conventions, since he is a devotee to both games. The police were trying to follow their suspect using his license plate number but eventually found the abandoned van at a Greyhound bus station. According to records, J.B. opened a store at a Des Moines mall and lived with his family of 10 in the retail space.

Sexual abuse of a child can be anything from fondling to penetration. One in every three girls and one in every six boys are sexually abused before the age of 18. When a child is sexually abused, the victim doesn’t necessarily need to use force. Often children are innocent and do not understand what is happening when they are being abused. Because of their confusion or fear they may consent to sexual activity that is inappropriate and illegal. When a parent sexually abuses his or her child, it is considered incest. While the punishment for incest varies depending on the degree of the offense and the state, a criminal who is guilty of this crime might end up incarcerated for 20 years per count. That would mean that J.B. would be given 160 years in prison. The children are going to be distributed in the foster care system, and their parents will probably never get custody of them again.
