Jackson County Circuit Court

Fifty year old William Henry Thompson was sentenced to more than seventy years in prison after being found guilty by a jury on twenty-six counts of sex abuse, rape, sodomy and compelling to commit prostitution.

Inside a Jackson County courtroom, letters were read by the convicted abuser and one of the victims- his daughter. In his letter addressing the court, Thompson claimed his innocence saying his daughter lied about the abuse and that she needed counseling. Thompson also refused to sign a document that would register him as a sex offender in the state of Oregon. The state could prosecute him for that which is a felony but they didn't say if they would yet.

Thompson's daughter also addressed the court. In her letter she said to her father, "I love but I hate you...you are the only one to blame." Restitution was granted in the amount of around $3,000 dollars. Outside the courtroom, another daughter of the convicted abuser claims that he's innocent adding that they will seek for an appeal
