Man Faces Up To 3,000 Years In Prison

{Madison, West Virginia}...Sixty year old Howard Dotson faces up to 3,000 years in prison after a Boone County jury convicted him on  89 counts of sexual crimes. He was a fugitive for 11 years on charges he sexually assaulted four young girls between the ages of five and 11, dating back to the early 1970s. Court documents say Dotson, who fathered a child with one of the victims, left Boone County the day before his sexual assault trial was set to begin in 1998. Dotson was arrested in October 2009 in Grand Junction, Colorado for allegedly drinking and driving. Sentencing will happen in the next four to eight weeks.
