Oregon child molester sentenced to 80 years

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - A twice-convicted child molester has been sentenced to 80 years in prison, virtually assuring he will never be free again.

The Register-Guard newspaper in Eugene reported that 43-year-old Bryan Erwin Fallis was given the mandatory sentence after a jury convicted him last week of multiple counts of rape, sodomy and sex abuse involving a 9-year-old girl.

Police said the crimes occurred in Oakridge during 2007 and 2008.

Lane County Circuit Court Judge Debra Vogt rejected a defense request to sentence Fallis to 25 years in prison.

Vogt called Ellis a predatory pedophile, telling him that he would remain in prison the rest of his life.
