(King George County, Virginia) In March 2009, a jury convicted 40-year-old Billy Burch of multiple child sex crimes against a girl starting at the age of 5 and continuing until she was 10.
The girl testified that Burch performed countless sex acts on her and often took her to motels when she rode with him in his tow truck.The girl finally told her mother and the authorities were alerted. Investigators then set up a telephone sting in which Burch acknowledged his molestation of the girl. Later, he confessed to detectives.
The girl said she never told her mother what was going on because Burch threatened to hurt her whole family if she did.
The abuse continued after the girl's family and Burch moved back to Maryland. It finally stopped when the child was about 12 and her family moved away from Burch.
Yesterday, Judge Horace A. Revercomb III sentenced Burch to 485 years in prison.
Burch also must complete a 40-year-sentence in Maryland where he was convicted of sex crimes against the same girl, giving him a total of 525 years to complete his rehabilitation.
