Update on father-son molester team; son has been sentenced to 105 years in prison (Jackson County, Indiana)

We've reported on dad RICHARD HOBBS and his son before. The son has now been sentenced to 105 years in prison after being found guilty of 5 class A felony counts of child molesting.

Did this son really need his dad's stellar example of parenting? Sometimes kids are just better off without a molester dad as a role model, hard as that may be to believe. I know the girl victim would have been better off.
