Rehrig Sentenced

Rehrig Sentenced - Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 7:55PM EST

Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 @ 07:55pm EST
Pottsville, Schuylkill County

Shackled and hiding his face Russel Rehrig walked into the Schuylkill County Courthouse Thursday. A place he has been avoiding for the past year. It's here the fifty two year old learned he will spend the next 42-84 years behind bars for molesting three young children between 2004 and 2005.
Rehrig skipped town right before his rape trial began last year. He was convicted anyway by a jury. He blames an ineffective public defender for why he skipped town.
Rehrig's luck ran out Friday night in Atlantic City. This is where he was caught. Prosecutors think he spent most of his time here, living in homeless shelters and out of his car.
The District Attorney's Office in Schuylkill County credits constant media attention for catching Rehrig, including an episode on America's Most Wanted.
At Thursday's hearing Rehrig said he plans to appeal his prison sentence. He admitted making mistakes but would not take responsibility for what he did to the young children.
