School psychologist Craig Figley sentenced to 14.5 years prison for child molestation
May 10, 2010
Fifty-nine-year-old Craig Figley, a former psychologist for the Colville School District (Colville is located in the northeast corner of Washington state) was sentenced today to serve at least 14.5 years in prison for molesting an 11-year-old student and attempting to molest another.
Figley pleaded guilty in March 2010 to molesting the boys and admitted he'd "groomed" the victims to take advantage of them.
In court, Figley said “I have committed illegal and shameful acts.” Those illegal and shameful acts involve two underage boys.
Figley has a history of child molestation, including victims who were friends of his own son
Figley admitted repeatedly fondling the children while caring for them, buying them video games, and taking them out for dinner.
In addition to first-degree child molestation, Figley pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography after images of young boys were found on his school computer.
Figley was a member of a multidisciplinary team that helped coordinate law enforcement investigations of child abuse.
Following sentencing, his case will go before a state board that reviews the sentences of sex offenders, and that board could decide to keep him in prison for life, Stevens County Prosecutor Tim Rasmussen said.

There were others involved in this. For instance, Claytom Allen, who tipped off Figley that the cops were heading to his home. Why would he do that, if his hands weren't dirty?
I knew Figley and Clayton, as well as a boatload of others I suspect were also in on this whole bruhaha. But there's no rest for the widow's son, is there?
