A Michigan man convicted in late January of molesting two underage daughters of a family friend has been sentenced to 90 years in prison.
Roy Arlen Vannortrick, 43, was sentenced Wednesday, June 1, 2016, to two consecutive 45-year terms in prison by District Judge Brady O’Callaghan, the same judge who presided over his trial five months ago. While Vannortrick will be credited for the time he has spent behind bars since his booking here in November 2013, the first 25 years of each sentence must be served without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence, meaning he must serve almost 50 years at the least. The separation of the sentences and their consecutive nature takes into account there were two separate and distinct victims.
Vannortrick was accused of sexually abusing the girls, both under age 13 at the time, repeatedly in 2009 and 2010 when he lived in Caddo Parish. He was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Task Force in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, in late October 2013 and extradited to Caddo Parish the following month, originally charged with two counts of aggravated rape.
The case was prosecuted by assistant district attorneys Monique Y. Metoyer and Mekisha Smith Creal. Vannortrick’s defense attorney was Mary Harried.
