The mom should be sentenced for being an idiot. Oh yeah, meet a guy in a bar and let him move in...dumb, dumb, dumb. And nice example she's setting for her daughter.

not only being an idiot, this is negligence. we are meant to protect our children. our childrens home and bed should be the safest place for them. now i wonder. if she cannot count on her mother, where will she turn?

Sunbear I agree with you. I just wonder how long she knew the guy before he moved in? Did he move in with her, or rent a room from her? They do not tell us all of that. So we can't just blame the Mom without knowing the whole story. Unfortunately people get involved everyday with the wrong person, sometimes even marrying them. Not knowing until later or its too late they are wife beaters. Just my opinion...

these guys don't do it to feel like a man, it's a power thing. when you sodomize a person, it isn't about sex. it's about control. especially when it's done to a child.

I am fimiliar with this situation because I knew all parties involved and there are a lot of facts missing from this story.

Mr.Prenger and the mother had been friends for several years prior to the incident, and the sentencing was not 13 years.

...OMG I can't be quiet any longer.....LMAO...Searchingforthetruth...Maybe you should search some more, I have known the "mother" involved for three years, she knew of Larry, she did not know him personally. She moved him in right away just like she did with other men and are you aware this is NOT the first time this and her other child were sexually abused. Larry got 7 years according to the "mother" ha ha ha if that is what you call her. AND the "mother" read a letter to the judge to give him a reduced sentence. Make you sick now, yes, she did it because "friends" of Larry's at Borderline gave her such HELL she can't ditch her kids and party there anymore... poo poo poo, poor her! BS!

I have know the mother and daughter for over 3 years and she was introduced to the guy through another friend of hers(female) she has known for several years, whom she met at Borderline. The mother said she believed she was helping out a friend because she and Larry would hang out at Borderline together, also Larry had a girlfriend who he hung out with regularly, the mother met her, at the time he was molesting her daughter so she didn't even consider the fact that he might be a child molesting freak. Also he was helpful to the mother while he stayed at her house, he slept on her couch and used her utilities and facilities, in exchange for paying rent or anything, he watched her teen daughter and younger child so she could go to the grocery store, run errands, go to doctor's appointments etc. In other words he preyed on the fact that she was a lonely stay at home mom and needed to get out so he voulunteered to help out. I'm sorry, but when your teen daughter is telling you how cute this guy is and when she is voluntarily doing his laundry and making him dinner, sirens and bells should be going off all over the place. SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT!!! He seduced and manipulated the very inexperienced daughter with promises of love. Thank God for her daughter's friends who blew the whistle on him to the mother. IT IS A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY, BUT EVERYONE IS TO BLAME. The mother shouldn't have let a man, friend or not, stay in her home around her children unsupervised, even if she has done this with other male friends before. She should have picked up on the signs of how the daughter was catering toward the man, with laundry and stuff. Larry should not have taken advantage of the friendship and hospitality of the mother and daughter and should not have TAKEN HER CHILDHOOD! The daughter should have told her mother what was happening, even though the guy was manipulating her not too. At least now the family has some closure and can move forward. However long he stays in jail it is not enough. Someone needs to get the word out! You know what they do to child molesters in prison.

He is currently in county and going to Wasco. FYI, the "mother" has visited him at the jail, makes me sick!

Those of you who talk crap but don't know the whole situation should not say anything. Those that know one side of the story should not say anything either. I know the "mother" as some people put it.
Cantfoolme do you know why she went to the jail??? I do, to tell him how she felt, becasue she couldn't say anything to him in the court-room. She also wanted to find out what the hell he was thinking when he did what he did. I don't know why you people blame her it's not her faulet HE couldn't keep his hands off a 13 year old. HE knew better AND DID IT ANYWAYS! if you should blame someone, blame him.
