A Missoula MT man, Craig Gibson, sexually assaulted a five year old girl on numerous occasions in 2013.
April 7, 2015, The Honorable Judge Robert L. “Dusty” Deschamps sentenced Craig Gibson to twenty years with the Montana Department of Corrections, with all but five years suspended. Judge Deschamps recommended Gibson be placed in the community of Missoula while he is under DOC supervision. No prison time, he just has to pay for the child’s counseling. Montana Code Annotated 46-18-222(6) allows the judge to make this determination.
“One of the things is he’s almost claiming to be the innocent victim of circumstance,” Deschamps added, asking Dr. Michael Scolatti, who conducted Gibson’s psycho-sexual evaluation, if he believed the defendant had accepted responsibility for his actions. “I don't think he is accepting full responsibility, and I do think he is minimizing,” Scolatti said. “I think he facilitated this and encouraged this. That's bothersome to me.”
Craig Gibson is a pedophile that sexually assaulted a five year old girl on numerous occasion. He also has a facebook page with pictures of him posing with a young girl. I have intentionally cropped the child’s face from the pictures.
Judge Deschamps did not order the removal of these pictures from Gibson’s facebook. Gibson’s probation officer did not order him to remove these pictures from his facebook.
Gibson’s attorney, Pat Sandefur, argued the defendant was ashamed and embarrassed by the incident and had a difficult time expressing his guilt to the psychologist during the evaluation. He also said the defendant has no previous felonies and has had no contact with the child since he posted bail in September of 2013. He’s been gainfully employed for four years, and will be able to pay for the girl’s counseling for the remainder of his life.
Pay for the girl’s counseling for the remainder of his life? What about the remainder of her life? What happens to this child’s mental health when she finds this facebook page with Gibson cuddled up to a little girl during the time he was sexually assaulting her, the victim? She will find out there is no justice from Judge Robert L. “Dusty” Deschamps.
These are not my pictures. For decency sake I have cropped the child’s face from the pictures. These pictures are online for all to see on Craig Gibson’s facebook page. The judicial system has failed the children of Missoula by not protecting them from a pedophile that posts pictures of children on his facebook page. Gibson need only visit his facebook page to meet his sick psychological needs. Judge Deschamps and the Department of Corrections have failed all the children of Missoula and Montana.
Missoula, are these your values? You need to hold the Department of Corrections accountable and you need to replace Judge Deschamps. No pedophile should be allowed to post pictures of children online and not be ordered by the judge or their supervising probation officer to remove the online pictures. Stand up Missoula and protect your children. Don’t leave it to Judge Deschamps to protect your children because he has failed in his obligation to the children.
