(Warning graphic topic). "Worst of the Worst" former pediatric nurse sentenced

Published

A parent's worst nightmare. Heinous acts commuted by a former pediatric nurse The FBI investigators thought they were searching for a child Mediaography perpetrator what they found was much more horrible. The judge will not order therapy as he feels he's beyond medical/psychiatric help. As a part of the verdict the convicted cannot appeal his 80-year sentence. He's going to rot in prison. No other child can ever be harmed by this man or his conspirators (one was a counselor) ever again

At least the judge accepts that the most vile pedophiles are not able to be rehabilitated or treated? I cannot comprehend such a deviant psycho pathology.

'Worst of the Worst': Ex-Pediatric Nurse Sentenced to 80 Years for Sex Acts with Infants | NBC New York

A San Diego pediatric nurse was sentenced to 80 years in prison for performing sex acts on two newborns and videotaping them. During the sentencing, the judge said the nurse was "the worst of the worst."

Michael William Lutts, 50, a former nurse, pleaded guilty in January to two counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of distribution of child Mediaography. He admitted to 15 instances of photographing or videotaping the infants in "sexually explicit situations at both his home and his work place," the U.S. attorney said.

U.S. District Judge John Houston said Lutts was "the worst of the worst" and described what he had done to the two-month-old premature boy and 11-month-old girl "worse than a mass murderer shooting 20 people" because the victims were fragile and easy to victimize.

Nah, put him in general population. They don't like these kinds of people any more than we do.

Was thinking that it is too bad the judge could not make general population placement part of the sentence.

Nothing in the court transcripts indicate he's getting solitary.

He deserves to spend the rest of his days in "general population" of the prison. As crude as this sounds, I hope he's made someone's b***h and is passed around the prison. He deserves no mercy.

What will happen is that he will be placed immediately in isolation, kept from everyone, fed and housed for 80 years or until he dies.

There are no words.....:Emoticon-Devil:

Although I do like the idea of him being made to serve out his sentence in general population. Although chances are he'll be placed in protective custody, prisons have to be seen to be doing the right thing

I sincerely hope another inmate does some prison style justice to him. I am obsessed with crime shows and follow every terrible crime story that comes out in the news.. This is one of the top 5 worst I have ever heard of. I am sick to my stomach and burning with anger right now.

I'm wondering whether or not this nurse purposely entered pediatric nursing to facilitate easier access to children and to have an excuse to be around them.

It's somewhat similar to the handful of Little League coaches who have been exposed as pedophiles with a penchant for prepubescent boys. The coaching gig facilitates easy access to children.

I don't think there's a single doubt that he chose pediatric nursing to abuse kids.

Another question would be how many co-workers suspected he was a perv and kept it to themselves.

Or how many managers heard complaints from nurses, and didn't investigate.

Or even why he left nursing in the first place. Was he fired?

Reading this, thinking about Jaycee Duggard , the 3 girls held for over 10 years in the house in Cleveland.....there just are NO words. None. This type of human goes beyond sick. They have no moral compass. There is no sad sob story of their own abusive childhood and no mental illness on this earth that can ever justify such abhorrent evil. I am not religious. However, the only thing I can think of is a Bible verse in I Timothy 4 that describes the "latter" days when people give in to seducing spirits and have their conscience seared by a hot iron. Sometimes the Bible as a historical book and a book of faith explains things perfectly.

These "people" make me so ill. We did foster care for years and got quite a few kids who had been abused (though no babies) and even as a kid I was horrified. This waste of space deserves to be alone in prison for the rest of his life and in the moments he's not, being assaulted the way he did those poor babies....I can't even read the whole thing or google it because I know I'd be sickened and probably cry here at work.

When it comes to anybody taking advantage and abusing something or someone so helpless or brainwashed, no punishment is enough. However, for the abusers (and yes, that includes animals!!) to experience the same exact type of punishment as well as jail time would be fine by me. I know nurses are supposed to care, but I really hate people sometimes.
