Re: child molestation sentencing

Fifteen (15) years for the first (1st) offense and twenty (20) years each for the remaining offenses, thus a total of seventy five (75) years if the cases are run consecutively and the defendant is sentenced to the maximum punishment available under Section 97-5-3 Miss. Code.
