DESCRIPTION:
Now updated, it shows how Sexton's sick genius ultimately dodged justice, and investigates the tragic aftermath of his victimized family.

He enforced every cruelty imaginable, from vicious beatings to raping his daughters and fathering their children. Yet the sadistic father nearly escaped death row on a legal technicality.

JYZ A true, well written, shocking story with twists and turns. The truth and lies of the parties involvedchange with each page.

You just don't want to believe that these things happen in America.
