MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – Before sentencing him to as many as 40 years in prison, a judge told a repeat child molester he was the worst of “a lot of sick, creepy garbage” she had seen in her court over the years.
Superior Court Judge Gillian Abramson sentenced Kevin Larrabee, 48, a part-time Manchester resident, to 20 to 40 years for child rape.
Larrabee did not make a statement during his sentencing Wednesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court.
Victim advocate Catherine McNaughton told the court Larrabee preyed on a 7-year-old with the knowledge of a relative who was also molesting the girl.
“You shattered the lives of every member of this family,” McNaughton told Larrabee.
Larrabee, a Dexter, Maine, resident when he was indicted last year, is due in U.S. District Court in Concord on Monday to plead guilty to interstate travel for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct and conspiracy.
The relative who made the child available is serving sentences identical to Larrabee’s. If a federal judge approves the plea agreement, both will be sent to federal prisons for a minimum of 25 years, prosecutors said.
Abramson told Larabee he was evil and perverted and said he was destined to spend most of the rest of his life in prison until “the devil himself takes you to a special incinerator in hell where they burn trash like you.”
McNaughton said the child was too young to understand she was being abused. Larrabee and his friend would send the other children outside so they could molest the girl unseen by others in the house, she said. The girl was not allowed to play with other children and was kept inside to gratify the molesters, McNaughton said.
She said Larrabee played the role of father figure, telling the girl he would protect her from cruelty at the hands of the other abuser if she did what he wanted.
“It was perfect. You had her trapped,” McNaughton said.
Assistant County Attorney Maureen O’Neil said Larrabee had a record in Maine for sex crimes and was arrested in 1999 in Manchester for failing to register as a sex offender.
