[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] A woman in Alabama, USA, was sentenced to the maximum prison term of 723 years for sexually assaulting her daughter and stepdaughter for over 10 years along with her husband.


According to the New York Daily News on the 5th, Lisa Lesher sexually abused her two daughters with her husband Michael Lesher for more than a decade.


Police investigations revealed that this was not the first incident. In 2007, the school resource officer noticed suspicious wounds on the daughters' necks and reported it to the police. However, the parents were not prosecuted at the time, and the police investigation was dismissed.


As time passed, in 2017, the two daughters, now in their twenties, found the courage to testify about the abuse in court. Consequently, the police arrested Lisa and her husband and reopened the investigation. The couple was indicted in November 2017 and began their trial.


The Alabama court sentenced Lisa to a total of 723 years for charges including first-degree rape, sodomy, sexual torture, sexual abuse, and neglect. Her husband received a 438-year sentence for participating in Lisa’s sexual abuse. The court explained that up to 99 years were added for each crime classified as first-degree rape.


Courtney Shellack, the local district attorney in charge of the prosecution, described the sentence as "very gratifying," stating, "The victims endured over 10 years of suffering living with these two monsters."


She added, "This level of sentencing is appropriate for such a case. They deserve it. By punishing the perpetrators severely, we must assure the victims that they will never have to endure such pain again."



Meanwhile, Lisa, who was sentenced to the maximum penalty for mercilessly sexually assaulting her biological daughter for 10 years, is scheduled to be released in the 28th century, in the year 2743.
