Former Missionary sentenced to 40 years in Prison for Sexual Abuse.

People were in a state of pandemonium when a federal judge in Oklahoma has sentenced A former missionary, 21 year old Matthew Lane Durham has been
convicted of sexually abusing children at an orphanage in
Kenya and sentenced to 40 years in jail in an Oklahoma
court.

Prosecutors accused Durham of targeting and molesting
the orphans while he volunteered at the Upendo Children's
Orphanage Home in Nairobi, Kenya between April 2014 and
June 2014.
Durham didn't show any emotion when he was sentenced
on Monday morning, March 7th. He was sentenced on each
of four counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign
places.
U.S. District Judge David L. Russell called the crimes
heinous. In addition to the 40 year prison term, Durham has
also been ordered to pay restitution of $15,863 by the
judge.

seven counts of abuse, but the judge acquitted Durham of
three of the counts in January 2016.
