<DIV>In the Heustis case, not only was the sentence unbelievably lenient, but
Heustis was granted a withheld judgment!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Very curious, since Heustis has not demonstrated that he has been exemplary
citizen. See:</DIV>

Man gets jail time in Internet crime case<BR>> Heustis sentenced to five
years probation, 30 days in jail<BR>> By Christina Lords Daily News staff
writer<BR>><BR>> Posted on: Saturday, June 19, 2010<BR>><BR>> A
Moscow man who pleaded guilty to enticing a child over the Internet
was<BR>> sentenced by 2nd District Court Judge John Stegner to 30 days in
jail and<BR>> five years probation Friday.<BR>><BR>> Kendall W.
Heustis, 40, pleaded guilty to the charge in Latah County<BR>> District
Court in mid-April.<BR>><BR>> He faced a maximum sentence of 15 years in
prison and a fine of $50,000.<BR>><BR>> The charge was in relation to an
undercover law enforcement sting<BR>> conducted by the Washington County
Sheriff's Office in Oregon between<BR>> April and July 2008. The
investigating officer was a member of Oregon's<BR>> Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force.<BR>><BR>> The officer posed as a 13-year-old girl
from Oregon, and Heustis exchanged<BR>> explicit information through chat
rooms and Web cameras with the<BR>> undercover officer during that
time.<BR>><BR>> "It's been a long two years," Heustis said. "I've
learned a lot from it. A<BR>> lot of things happened because of what I did
on the computer, and I'm<BR>> paying the price for it."<BR>><BR>>
During the sentencing, Michelle Evans, senior deputy prosecuting
attorney<BR>> for Latah County, asked for 10 years probation and a 90-day
jail sentence.<BR>><BR>> "I think that it's appropriate to impress upon
Mr. Heustis ... the<BR>> seriousness of what he did," she
said.<BR>><BR>> Evans said it was fortunate Heustis was chatting with an
undercover<BR>> detective instead of an actual victim during the
incidents.<BR>><BR>> Heustis must register as a sex offender and
complete sex offender<BR>> treatment at Valley Treatment Specialties in
Clarkston.<BR>><BR>> The computer he used during the enticement
incidents, which is in the<BR>> possession of the Moscow Police Department,
must be forfeited, and he is<BR>> not allowed to use the Internet except
for purposes congruent with this<BR>> probation
requirements.<BR>><BR>> Under the terms of his probation, he is not
allowed to be alone with<BR>> anyone under the age of 18 and cannot
frequent any city parks or schools<BR>> where children may be
present.<BR>><BR>> Heustis is prohibited from consuming alcohol, but
Stegner said Heustis<BR>> would still be allowed to enter some bars to be
able to continue playing<BR>> drums in his band.<BR>><BR>> He was
sentenced to pay $100 in court costs.<BR>><BR>> Latah County has never
pursued an enticement case like this before, Evans<BR>>
said.<BR>><BR>> Christina Lords can be reached at (208) 882-5561, ext.
