OSWEGO -- A 48-year-old man convicted of sexually abusing three young boys while his girlfriend watched has been sentenced to prison for 131 years.
An Oswego County jury in January convicted Richard Kirk Sr. of Williamstown of 25 separate counts, including charges that he had oral sex with the boys when they were 7, 8 and 11 years old.

Throughout the trial and during sentencing Wednesday, Kirk repeatedly denied having sexual contact with any child.

Kirk's girlfriend, 42-year-old Catherine Grybowski, is serving a four-to-12-year state prison sentence.

Grybowski admitted raping several boys, letting Kirk watch, and then allowing Kirk to sexually abuse those same boys and three girls in 2004.

" why do the laws differ so much from one county to the next? isnt there a STATE law on prison terms?
If so why did this guy get 131 yrs and the guy last week in Auburn got 1-3 for fathering a child with a 14yr old???

" That is absolutely disgusting. A woman raping young boys and girls while her man watched and then let him sexually abuse them? Why is she only doing 4-12 yrs? She should get the 131 yrs. too. At least it wasn't done here in Cayuga County where they would only get 6 mos. "

" In Cayuga or Onondaga county he would of gotten 2 to 4. Kudos to the Oswego County Judge for doing the right thing. The Punishment must fit the crime. "

" Its always sad to hear of one adult abusing young kids like this, but to hear of a WOMAN watching it happen?
There HAS to be drugs of some sort involved here--or a lobotomy? "
