This is an example of why you have to be extremely careful when it comes to hiring a babysitter.  You just don’t know what type of person you are giving access to your kids:

An Air Force staff sergeant who posed online as a trusted baby sitter to troll for victims was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Friday after pleading guilty to multiple counts of raping and molesting three girls, two of them preschool age.

Staff Sgt. Joshua Adam Smith, who had advertised baby-sitting services to the Kaiserslautern military community and proclaimed his compassion for children in an online forum, told the judge he had sexually assaulted the girls — then ages 3, 4 and 7 — over the last year.

Military judge Col. Dawn Eflein issued the sentence — the maximum possible punishment — after deliberating for one hour.

Military prosecutors had argued that life behind bars was the only way to stop Smith from sexually abusing young children.

In an unsworn statement before sentencing, Smith told the judge, “I am disgusted by myself” and he said he “didn’t know how to stop it” on his own.

Molesting his young victims became easier when the children didn’t tell on him, he said.

“It became easier to justify for the next time when nothing happened,” Smith said as he cried during his statement.  [Stars & Stripes]

Read the rest at the link, but this guys number of victims is probably much larger and it is good to see him sentenced to where he will never see the outside of a prison again. Good riddance.
