Joseph McCann, 25, was sentenced by Judge Lynn Ellison to 18 years in prison for the horrific aggravated sexual assaults of two young children, McCann’s cousins. McCann has previously pled to a cap of 25 years in prison for the sexual assaults, and asked the judge for leniency. A cap means the judge could have sentenced the defendant anywhere from probation up to 25 years. We hope the courage and strength of our victims will encourage other abuse victims to come forward. Their bravery will prevent McCann from brutalizing other children for years to come.
