GREYBULL (WNE) — A Burlington man was sentenced to 20 to 30 years of prison time at an April 15 hearing in Big Horn County Fifth Judicial District Court.
Erik Randall Gormley, 39, pleaded guilty to eight sexual-related charges, including one count of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree and three counts of sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree.
The change of plea was the result of a plea agreement, with other counts dismissed as part of the arrangement.
Multiple victims were involved with the date of the abuse, which occurred as early as 2013 through 2019.
Judge Bobbi Overfield called it an egregious crime.
“There is not a jail sentence that can heal,” she said. “It’s not the way it works.”
Overfield noted having some peace of mind that Gormley would have no access for a period of time; however, she said it doesn’t heal and doesn’t end the cycle.
