Judge said he wanted to be sure Thomas Goodman ‘never get out of prison again’

A Rhode Island man jailed for 260 years in prison for producing child pornography involving prepubescent children fainted in court when the judge read out his sentence.

Thomas Goodman, 45, was told his crimes showed “depravity beyond comprehension” by Judge John McConnell at the US District Court in Providence.

The paedophile pleaded guilty to eight counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography last October.

Prosecutors said Goodman had begun sexually abusing two young girls when they were six-years-old, and had also filmed himself inappropriately touching a three-week-old baby.

Pedophile Faints in Court as Judge Announces 260 Year Prison Sentence
posted by John and Ken Staff - Mar 26, 2019



A Rhode Island man fainted after hearing his sentence of 260 years behind bars. However, it is exactly what he deserved.

Thomas Goodman, 45, is accused of molesting several 6-year-old victims for six years. He also filmed himself sexually abusing an infant girl starting when she was just 3 weeks old until she was 18 months, according to the New York Post. Goodman even posted some of the disturbing footage online.

Goodman stayed passed out on the table for a few minutes until he awoke to the judge explaining the reasoning for the high sentence that will ensure the sick pedophile will never abuse a child again.

His sentencing was 160 years more than prosecutors had initially sought. Thirty years each for eight counts of sexually exploiting children and 20 years for one count of possessing sadistic and masochistic child pornography, all to be served consecutively, the Providence Journal reports.

They don't take well to child molesters.

I estimate three to six months of abject terror for the guy before he's finally shanked in the prison laundry. It would be too good for him, but there it is...

My patient population includes ex-cons, and I've had a few patients I discovered were in for child molestation. I gave them the same level of care I give all my patients who aren't monsters.

I wasn't happy about it. And I'm human enough to want these creeps to face real justice. My sympathies are with the victims and their families.

I used to attend seminars on high tech crime investigation. One of the presenters showed a photo of a guy that was apprehended for child porn. He was good looking, maybe in his early 30's, and I would never have guessed he was a sex offender.

I also had a co-worker a few years ago who I later found out was a registered sex offender (again, under age girls). I would never have guessed from his looks. His personality however was reptilian. I was very happy when he moved onto another company.

If I needed a neighbor to watch my grandkids for a few hours and this man with those glasses offered up his services, I'd take the kids with me.

Agree that a molester can also look like Mr Rogers, but people like this have the natural warning signs of a porcupine.

3 people recognized him from the sketch of him and his car. His girlfriend, Ann Rule and one of his professors. They ignored the tips because a clean cut college student could not be the person committing these murders.

He went on to commit 7 more murders before the arrested him.

I have worked with both pedophiles and murderers. With the exception of a few committed antisocials, most of them look like and seem pretty much like any normal person. Actually, they pretty much ARE like any normal person.
