KIDS’ TEARS OF RAGE AS PERV IS JAILED

Anthony Philips, a 24 year old man identified as an IRS employee in court records, was hit with a 15 year sentence for coercing a minor girl into performing sex acts from January 2001 to March 2002 in order to produce child pornography.  The girl and her tearful older brother begged a federal judge to hammer their longtime babysitter with the max for sexually molesting them and putting pictures of the girl on the Internet.  Philips abused the girl from age 9 to 11.  Federal prosecutors suspect Philips has molested at least four other kids as young as 7 over the past decade, including the girl's brother.  Five years were shaved off a possible 20 year prison term after lawyer Jason Solortaroff argued that Philips was abused by his mother, a prostitute.
