Man gets 2 years for forcing sons to fight

BELFAST, Maine (AP) — A Maine man is going to prison for two years after pleading guilty to charges that he forced his two sons, aged 4 and 6, to fight while he watched.

Twenty-six-year-old Pedro Delgado-Bristol pleaded guilty Tuesday in Waldo County Superior Court to assault and other charges.

The Bangor Daily News says the boys told detectives they were forced to hit each other with closed fists, kicks and knees to the body on Jan. 9 at Delgado-Bristol's Rockport home.

The boys also told investigators Delgado-Bristol hit the younger boy with a sandal when the boy refused to fight any more.

The incident was reported by the boys' mother.

A judge called Delgado-Bristol's actions "depraved."

Ten To One ...

I bet this creep is into dog fighting or rooster fighting!

Anyone know if he owns dogs or roosters?

3rd world people will fight canaries but I don't see him abusing small birds. He wants bigger fights.

C'mon on folks...

It is easy to turn on this gentleman and feel better about ourselves, but do we have the courage to pray for this man and forgive him?

Set  a Tazer on FULL CHARGE on his bare stomach for 5 solid minutes. & then lets see how he enjoys THAT!

Yea..

Pedro Delgado...I am guessing he is not a generational Mainer?   Maybe one of the welfare recruits that Maine is constantly advertising to bring into Maine.
