Former McHenry County Sheriff’s Sergeant Greg Pyle will be sentenced tomorrow in Rockford for having taken a young boy to Milwaukee for sexual exploitation.
Officially he plead guilty to “One Count of Sex with a Person Less Than 12 Years Old” in a Federal case that began November 19, 2008.
You can read his plea agreement here.
The minimum sentence under Federal law is 30 years.
Today, character reference letters were filed for Judge consideration.
The public is not allowed to see them.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office has filed a brief with recommendations, which you can read below:
Pyle still faces state charges bought by McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi.
I find it interesting that there were character reference letters filed for the judge to review.
What kind of character does a man have, that sexually exploits children ?
No character, he deserves what he gets.
A former cop and child molester is going to have a really bad time in jail.
Time to reap what you’ve sowed
His 50 year sentence should put to rest the rumors circulated by some on this site suggested, that he was going to cut a deal to testify about corruption by the Sheriff and others in the department.
Guess there wasn’t much he could say about that.
Now I await Duncan and some of his stupid popcorn comments that will no doubt be forthcoming with some of his other ridiculous innuendo
I would love to see him in general population.
He wouldn’t last a week.
Bill how do you know that he didn’t spill a few beans?
You are assuming he didn’t.
HAVING WORKED ALONGSIDE THIS OFFICER FOR SEVERAL YEARS, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT I WAS STUNNED TO HEAR OF THIS.
HE TRULY WAS THE LAST PERSON I WOULD SUSPECT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
HE WAS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, COMPETENT, KNOWLEDGABLE, HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND WAS WELL LIKED BY HIS PEERS.
I GUESS IT’S TRUE THAT YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW SOMEONE.
VERY SAD.
