The word I've just gotten is that Tommy was sentenced to 6 years. My guess is that that is accurate, but I don't know for sure. Assuming that that was the sentence he received:

The earliest victim I've talked to dates from around 1982. I seem to recall that someone has alleged that something happened in the 1970's as well. At any rate, using the 1982 figure, after 30 years, Tommy got 6 years.

Almost 9 years after Glenn Dryden brought the issue to 3ABN Board chairman Walt Thompson's attention in May 2003, Tommy got 6 years.

Over 5 years after we blew the whistle on Danny's coverup of the child molestation allegations against Tommy, Tommy got 6 years.

I have no idea when he would be eligible for parole.

Wonder how the Danny defenders are going to spin this one. Over on WikiPedia one of them lied and said that Save-3ABN.com could be why Tommy was arrested, if I recall correctly. While Alex came forward because of Save-3ABN.com's material, Tommy is heading for the pen because of someone who had already come forward before we ever blew the whistle.

The Danny defenders should abandon the spin and instead pursue truth, justice, and morality.

Will there be media news items on this?

I'd expect the Washington Post to carry the story in the morning, like they have done before. Possibly some TV news.

Not yet, I will find out tomorrow. My attorney's will be talking to Virginia Common Wealth attorney Kathy Stott this week.

They have to know where to send Tommy information since he is still a defendant in my lawsuit.

Even though he is inprisoned, or will be, he still has the right to defend himself.

Like I said, I will fnd out more tomorrow.

It will give him something to do to prepare all those legal papers.

Do you think 3ABN will have their attorney help him prepare some of his papers?
