In my line of work, you get used to seeing the worst aspects of our communities.
You find yourself struggling for a positive, for some aspect of a story that would seem to redeem those involved.
Then there are the cases like the child-porn case in Colwyn involving John Worman.
I can’t think of a single redeeming factor in this horrific case, which made even hardened federal law men and women blanch when presenting how low humans can sink.
Several months ago, federal prosecutor Michelle Rotella admitted she struggled in presenting the evidence against Worman, and his two co-horts, Dorothy Jackson and Concetta Jackson.
Several jurors had to turn away when photos of children in the worst possible situations were displayed in front of them.
All three individuals in this case which stunned little Colwyn have been convicted.
Worman, who was described as a “monster” who preyed on neighborhood children, is awaiting sentencing.
Prawdzik, who along with Jackson served up kids for Worman’s deviant behavior, was sentenced to 30 years in jail.
Yesterday, it was Jackson’s turn. Her sentencing was delayed, but a judge did revoke her bail.
She apparently had been going about her business in Delaware County, shopping and doing other activities.
Not any more. Yesterday a federal judge revoked her bail and sent her to prison to await sentencing, which now likely will take place in August or September.
After returning a guilty verdict, several jurors referred to Worman as “Satan.” I suppose that would make Prawdzik and Jackson the devil’s helpers.
None of them is likely to be back on the street of Delaware County anytime soon.
Finally, something good to come out of his nauseating case.
