A Warren County couple who faced nearly 70 years in prison after they admitted to child sex charges-is sentenced to eight years each in prison.

37 year old Benjamin Rodgers and 35 year old Leah Rodgers of South Lebanon pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual battery and eight counts involving child porn last month.

Police said the Rodgers had sexual activity with a child over a six-month period this year and video taped the incidents on several occasions.

The judge also said they'll spend five years on probation once they've served their terms. They also have to register as sex offenders.

People are getting sicker and sicker and yet the "law" keeps letting them off with a simple slap on the wrist. It's becoming more and more apparent that the laws of this nation do NOT give a flip about the children. Casey Anthony walked away from murdering her baby. Christy Shaffer, of Indiana only did 77 days for the murder of 16 month old Alissa and now we have these pedophiles living the life in prison when in reality, they should have been sentenced to death!! The children of the US are quickly becoming obsolete and our laws sure as heck do nothing to protect them.

So If your a teacher who has sex with children you walk with no 'real' penalty. If your not a teacher you face 70 years. Or maybe it's 70 years because a man was involved, or possibly it was the camera that makes it 70 years. Whatever it is, those teachers should have been facing the same penalty.

I can't WAIT for these two to go to prison. The other prisoners will be ready and waiting. These two better be kept in general population. Then, IF they survive that, public execution. Disgusting, vulgar, vile, EVIL, people. There is nothing redeeming about these two. My thoughts and prayers go out to the child that was put through this. My heart hurts for him/her. Hug your children tight tonight neighbors. And give them a couple of extra for the poor child that had to endure this abuse.
