Utah Child Rapist Sentenced to Life in Prison Without Possibility of Parole



A St. George, Utah man was recently sentenced to life in prison without parole. Marc Clifton Bryant was convicted of the heinous crime of rape and torture of a 16 year old girl with a screwdriver and a blow torch.

After being charged, Bryant fled to Florida and did not appear at his April 2008 trial.

He was arrested in September at a Golden Corral restaurant in Jacksonville, Fla., after appearing on "America's Most Wanted" TV program.

A letter from the victim detailed her struggles with memories of the incident. Her struggles include nightmares, distrust of people and, when she becomes overwhelmed, she seeks shelter in a closet.

"You can see the scars on my face, and I will always have them on the inside," the victim wrote.
