GUILTY WA- 3 N. Seattle brothers, 78,79 & 82, arrested child sex-abuse investigation

[Niner]

But I thought he was going to be sentenced on Dec. 22nd?? Isn't what that is for? Or is this like a "penalty phase" for trial??

TIA! if anyone can answer that! :wave:

Hi Niner

This is how I have personally have seen these type cases work. Also unless the press picks it up, the actusl sentence may not be disclosed. The Court record will just read SENTENCED. It is public record. You would have to request the sentence detail from the Court.

After the lawyers have made their arguments (called “submissions”), the judge will consider their arguments and sentence the offender. Sometimes the judge will do this right after submissions. Other times, the judge will take a break or even adjourn the case to another day to think about what sentence they will*give.

Ugh.

Quoting from the link: During that investigation, Edwin Emery acknowledged having molested two female relatives decades earlier, the detective wrote. No charges were filed after prosecutors determined the images "did not meet filing standards for exploitation crimes against children," Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor's Office, said in an email. The statute of limitations for any sex crimes would have expired, he said.

Here’s the Seattle Times story:

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattl...entenced-in-child-*advertiser censored*-case/

1 of 3 elderly Seattle brothers sentenced to 9 months in child-*advertiser censored* case

Edwin Emery, 79, pleaded guilty last month to two counts of second-degree possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexual conduct. Prosecutors have alleged Emery and his two older brothers had “spent a lifetime accumulating” child *advertiser censored*.

I am wondering on his sentence...was the 4 months he has been in jail taken away from the 9 month sentence, and also his "good" behavior credits, to knock down that sentence to a "short stay" in jail.

Oh you all beat me to the article!

Thanks for the information Sanz!

So I guess we wait until Jan. 16th for the last bro....

 

[Wendy101]

would be interesting to see a pic of these brothers when they were younger (25ish)

 

[Niner]

for the SEVENTH continuance....

Tuesday, January 16th:
*Order of Continuance Hearing - WA - arrested for 2 counts possession of depiction of minors engaged in sexual explicit conduct & found Manifesto detailing child rape & homicide - hearing for Thomas Edwin Emery (80) 9/26 pled not guilty. Remains in jail in lieu of $550K bail. This is the 7th continuance hearing for Thomas.
Edwin Harold Emery (78) made the guilty plea Friday (11/21) to two counts of second-degree possession of child *advertiser censored* in King County Superior Court. He remains in jail. He was sentenced Dec. 22: Edwin was sentenced to 9 months in prison Friday. Their bro: Charles L. Emery (82): was sent for competency eval on 8/31. Held on $500,000 bail. 10/26 all charges dropped due to mental illness. Court records indicate the state will seek to have Charles Emery, 83, civilly committed after he was diagnosed with a major neurocognitive disorder and pedophilia. Emery and his brothers, Thomas Emery, 80, and Edwin Emery, who turns 79 on Friday, were each charged in August with two counts of second-degree possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexual conduct. Thomas and Edwin Emery each remain jailed in lieu of $500,000 bail. Case-setting hearings in their cases were scheduled for Tuesday but have since been continued to later this month, according to prosecutors.

Well, it looks like Thomas pled guilty....

I'm going to guess his sentencing will be Jan. 19th.

 

[watcher9]

At this stage of his life, I don't know what good will come of him pleading guilty to a *advertiser censored* charge (if that's what it is) except to give him a home where he will be able to receive free food and medical care.

I would much rather have him talk and confess to all deeds done throughout the years by him and his brothers maybe without fear of retribution so LE could be able to close the many unsolved crimes they have committed.

Did LE make any progress in testing all the clothing and underwear that was discovered?

I guess these four brothers were just found out too late for true justice to be served and that's the real shame.

I looked up at the court site - and here is what they have:

Hi Niner
No not sure if the docket calendar is always correct if something gets moved to a different date. I have been using the WA ST Courts Name search for their Court records. I’ll post Thomas information as of 02-06-2018.

Doesn't really say "what" the sentence was. Anyone in Washington have any articles about this case?

TIA!

 

[wenwe4]

According to vinelink he is out of custody as of 2/14/18 and sentence served.
Offender ID# 1955045

 

[Steelslady]

I am so dead set against that damn statute of limitations, especially in cases like this!

So they get a slap on the wrist in their elder years for all the little girls they molested and assaulted? They basically walk away free and we let them! Sick!

Oh NO!!! You're kidding!!?!?! Geez.... totally agree with you Steelslady! :gaah:

edited to add: I went back to see when they were arrested - 8/22/17, so he spent almost 6 months in jail for this....
