Federal prosecutors are seeking a 580-year prison sentence for a man who
sexually abused six children, including two kidnapped Amish girls in
northern New York.
Stephen M. Howells, 40, and Nicole F. Vaisey, 26, admitted in May that
they sexually exploited the children. The abuse ended after the couple
was arrested for briefly kidnapping two young Amish girls at a farm
stand in northern New York in August 2014.
They will be sentenced Dec. 17 in federal court in Syracuse.
Prosecutors asking for the maximum sentence against Howells in a court
filing this week said the girls were "subjected to degrading and
unspeakable brutalities."
Howell's public defender asked for a 30-year sentence, saying he was remorseful and accepts responsibility.
Prosecutors hadn't filed a recommended sentence for Vaisey by Friday.SOURCE,,. ABC NEWS
