e-mail print friendly

A Pittsboro man was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison for molesting a girl a decade ago, authorities said.

Murnice Chandler, 44, was convicted on 21 counts of indecent liberties with a child and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He also was ordered to wear a Global Positioning System tracking device for the rest of his life.

The molestation occurred from 1996 to 1998, when the girl was age 8 to 10, authorities said. Chandler was a self-employed painter at the time.

Prosecutors said they were searching for others who might have information about Chandler's activities during that time.

For his own safety he will need to do that time in solitary confinement.

PRISON FORE LIFE.SHE HAS PROBLY BEEN DAMAGED FORE LIFE AND A LOT OF COUNSILING.

Why not just take away the "tools" he used to committ the crime? Problem solved.

Why not keep him in prison for life? dataclerk Why not keep quazy Quets in prison instead of going scott free?

He damaged some little girl for a very long time if not for life. He should be watched at all times if it were only possible since they "MUST" LET THE CREEP OUT.
