Just sharing a couple of folks that we in the Rochester area are ashamed to have here.
First, a "charming" individual who has been sentenced to 25-life for the rape of a 9-MONTH old baby. Yes, that is not a typo. The poor little girl had to have several surgeries and almost died. SHe is now 17 months old and doing fine. She is now in foster care.

A Wayne County man was convicted Friday morning of raping a nine-month-old baby girl.
Richard Lyons will spend 25 years to life in prison. He was found guilty of six of the eight charges including the most serious charge.
In handing down his verdict, Judge Dennis Kehoe told Richard Dallas his conduct exhibited a depraved indifference for human life.
Only Dallas’s family members were in court to hear the judge find him guilty of six of the eight counts against him including predatory sexual assault against a child and aggravated sexual abuse.
Dallas sexually assaulted a nine-month-old baby girl on November 30. He was babysitting her at the time. Doctors testified the child’s injuries were so serious, if left untreated she would have died.
Wayne County District Attorney Rick Healy says this case has been so upsetting it’s been difficult to even talk about.
Rick Healy, Wayne Country District Attorney, said, “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and this case was difficult to think about and to talk about and I’ve prosecuted murderers. But what was done to that child was horrible.”
Dallas faces 25 years to life when he is sentenced on July 17. Healy says the little girl now 16 months old is healing and that a full recovery is expected. The judge will decide later if she will be reunited with her mother.
