Oklahoma Missionary Sentenced To 40 Years For Sexually Assaulting Kenyan Orphans
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK --- An Oklahoma native was sentenced to 40 years in prison Monday after being convicted of sexually abusing Kenyan orphans, the Associated Press reports.
Matthew Lane Durham, who, according to AP, showed no emotion during sentencing, was also ordered to pay restitu- tion of $15,863.
“These were heinous crimes committed on the most vulnera- ble victims. He was their worst
nightmare come true,” U. S. Dis- trict Judge David L. Rus- sell said during sentencing.
Prior to the MATTHEW order, Durham, LANE 21, asked for DURHAM mercy.
In July 2014, Durham, then 19, drew national attention after being accused of raping and mo- lesting several young girls and
boys at a Kenyan children’s home, where he was helping out as a missionary between April and June 2014. Durham had served as a volunteer since 2012 at the orphanage in Nairobi.
Officials from the orphanage and five of the children came from Kenya to the U. S. to testify. The children, who spoke in Swahili, testified through an in- terpreter after Russell was re- moved and the courtroom was closed to the public and media.
Alabama Brinks Employee Sentenced For Stealing $196,000 In Quarters
One Alabama man would have had enough change to do laundry for the rest of his life if he hadn’t been caught stealing $196,000 worth of quarters.
Federal investigators say
Stephen Lawrence Dennis
nabbed 784,000 of the 25-cent pieces while working for ar- mored transport company Brink’s in Birmingham.
Investigators said that the coin-craving culprit had stolen the 9,800 pounds in quarters — in four bags containing nearly $50,000 each— over the first month and a half of 2014.
Brinks Truck
During the 49-year-old’s last day of work in February 2014, Dennis came into Brink’s and put replacement bags where he used $1,000 in coins to cover up the true contents, beads, into the company's coin room.
The counterfeit sacks were discovered during an audit in April of that year, according to court documents.
Among the money process- ing manager’s haul were coins that came from the Federal Re- serve Bank of Atlanta, which re- sulted in federal charges. Monday, and now will likely re- ceive a sentence less than the maximum allowable 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine for bank theft.
Dennis reached a plea agreement with the authorities announced.
