Florence, AZ – The Pinal County Superior Court on Monday, Aug. 15, 2011, sentenced Richard Little to 28 years in prison and lifetime probation as a sex offender for crimes against two boys in Apache Junction in January 2009.

“The Apache Junction Police Department worked efficiently to capture this predator,” said James P. Walsh, Pinal County Attorney. “All of us in law enforcement are committed to keeping children safe from predators.”

Little, 70 molested the boys and videotaped the sexual encounters. He pled and was sentenced on two counts of molestation of a child, three counts of attempted sexual conduct with a minor and one count of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor.

Matthew Long and Jason Holmberg of the Pinal County Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case.
