RENO, Nev. (AP) - A trucker facing two rape charges in Washington state has been sentenced to life in prison in Nevada for luring a mentally disabled girl and sexually assaulting her in his truck near Sparks Marina.
Fifty-one year old Richard Bunch was given a life sentence by Washoe District Judge Patrick Flanagan on his conviction of lewdness with a minor, and up to 15 years for luring a child.
Flanagan ordered the terms to run consecutively.
At his sentencing hearing, the Reno Gazette-Journal reports that Bunch claimed the girl lied about the assault and faulted police for believing her.
Sparks police say Bunch approached the 13-year-old girl at the Sparks Marina in July 2008, and lured her into his truck.

This horrible blot on society got his just desserts today. Lets be sure that life means just that....life. To abuse a child then accuse her...despicable! tho only way this monster should ever leave prison is in a plain brown box.
