Justin Kyle Hutcherson was sentenced Thursday to 65 years in prison two years to the date after ‘obscene and lewd’ images of children known by him and filmed were found on his computer.
Family of the victims asked Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Ray Martin to sentence Hutcherson so he could never hurt another child again.
