JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A judge says a Jacksonville father who
kept his 9-year-old son locked in a bedroom for much of his life
should spend nine years in prison himself.
Circuit Judge Mallory Cooper sentenced Randall Warren Piercy,
44, on Friday. Piercy had pleaded guilty to aggravated child abuse.
During a day of testimony Piercy's wife, who is also charged
with child abuse, testified she and her husband both were victims
of childhood sexual abuse and that left them extremely protective
of their son.
Piercy told the judge that cameras monitored her son and that
her husband used the intercom to let him know when he could come
out of his bedroom to eat. He ate alone at the dining room table
monitored by two more cameras.
