Evil paedo who brutally molested newborn baby for months collapses unconscious in court as he’s jailed for 260 years
AN EVIL paedo who molested a newborn baby for months collapsed in court when he was sentenced to 260 years in prison.
Thomas Goodman, 45, fell forward onto a table in the courtroom in Providence, Rhode Island as Judge John McConnell read out his sentence, which was 160 years longer than what the prosecutor asked for.
When he came around a few minutes later, Goodman groggily listened as he was handed eight 30 year sentences and one 20 year stretch that will be served consecutively.
Goodman filmed himself touching a newborn baby from when she was three weeks old to 18 months old, the Providence Journal reports.
He made thousands of clips of himself abusing the baby, as well as two other girls aged six and 12 before sharing them online for other perverts to watch.
Goodman was caught in May 2018 when his mobile was confiscated by bosses at the security company he worked at after he breached rules barring employees from using their devices at work.
The paedo’s bosses found his stash of child porn and promptly handed the mobile to the authorities.
Police established Goodman was in possession of about 7,800 abuse images and 370 child porn videos during a raid.
Of that sickening stash, at least 135 photos and 62 videos involved prepubescent children, from September 2007 to February 2018.
The vile man admitted to eight charges of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child porn.
Prosecutor Lee Vilker said his crimes were “by far the worst” he had ever come across.
Matthew Dawson, his lawyer, asked for his client to be given a 22-year sentence and claimed the paedo was also abused himself by a teacher when he was a child.

Moments before he was sent to jail he whispered: “I have no excuse for this.”
Judge McConnell agreed, telling him: “The only way I can do that is to be sure you never get out of prison again.
“I have no assurances you will stop.”
