Former LDS bishop sentenced for child sex abuse

A bad man is going to do some serious time in prison. 30 years in prison, a death sentence really, for molesting three young sisters.

Timothy O'Sean McCleve, 53, got the maximum sentence from 2nd District Judge Ernie Jones, who ordered two counts of second-degree felony sexual abuse of a child to run consecutively.

Defense attorney Randall Skeen asked for probation and a year in jail, citing McCleve's "extensive record of community service," as well a psycho-sexual evaluation indicating McCleve was "treatable and manageable within the community."

But the judge rejected that option because of the number of victims.

McCleve’s lawyer actually argued that McCleve should not spend time in prison. The bastard preyed on little girls. He should pay for his crime, and pay hard.
