Iowa High Court-Life Sentence Appropriate for Repeat Child Sex Abusers

Iowa's Supreme Court ruled today that life in prison is an acceptable sentence for repeat child sex abusers. The Des Moines Register reports the justices rejected Charles Oliver's claim of cruel and unusual punishment. He was convicted twice of third-degree sexual abuse in separate incidents, 10 years apart, the most recent in 2009, when Oliver was 33. He was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to life without parole.
