This might be the longest prison sentence I have ever heard of issued in Texas, or anywhere for that matter. As one Carthage, Texas man was sentenced to 750 years, which the District Attorney believes is the longest sentence ever handed down in Panola County.

The details of this case were released by KLTV, regarding the extremely long sentence but the punishment fits the crime.

The details around this crime are horrible. During the trial a sexual assault nurse examiner took the stand and said that not only were the victim's children under the age of 18, but they were all pre-pubescent. Which added to the long sentence after the trial.
