Jurors have ruled that an 86-year-old former southwest Missouri minister is a sexually violent predator who should remain confined even though he has completed a 15-year prison sentence for sodomizing teenage boys.The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that jurors reached the verdict last month in the case against Donald Peckham, but the case records weren’t publicized until Tuesday. Prosecutors say Peckham, who is from Sarcoxie, sexually abused at least 14 boys between 12 and 16 years old over the course of 30 years and continued to victimize young boys until he was 67 years old.Defense attorney Amy Clay says the decision to indefinitely commit Peckham to a treatment program run by the Missouri Department of Mental Health amounts to a “life sentence” because few people get through it.___ Information from: St. Louis Post-Dispatch, http://www.stltoday.com … [Read more...] about 86-year-old former Missouri minister deemed sexually violent

“Can’t complain. Thanks for asking.” It’s standard-issue stuff. Sometimes sincere. Sometimes not. Conversations with Kyle Van Noy are different. They can dance to whatever beat happens to be in the 28-year-old linebacker’s head. If you happen to like hip-hop, he wants to know your top five. If you’re into fashion, he’s got a suit-maker. If you’re a foodie, he’s got a list of spots around town. If you have a question for him, he can probably pose the question back to you. He’s got a nonstop motor on the field and constantly turning wheels when he’s off of it. “I just get intrigued with different things,” Van Noy said. Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty is close with Van Noy and there’s a certain way he likes to describe Van Noy whenever people ask to describe him. It’s playful, but also truthful. “As a person, he’s a very weird dude,” McCourty said. … [Read more...] about Kyle Van Noy is not your average, everyday Patriot
