| − | On April 20, 2007 Ted Lamborgine, 66, of Parma, Ohio, was sentenced by a Detroit judge to three life terms in Michigan for sexualy molesting boys. Lamborgine and Richard Lawson, 60, were accused of operating a pedophile ring in Detroit during the 1970's and 1980's, often luring kids into sexual acts in exchange for candy, soda, food, and other items. Lawson, however, pointed the finger of blame at Lamborgine at another unsolved case: the notorious Oakland County Child Killings of 1976-77, in which four children were molested and killed in the county north of Detroit. Lamborgine had refused a prosecuter's deal in which 13 of the fifteen charges for child molestation would be dropped in exchange for a polygraph examination into the deaths. Lawson is currently serving a life sentence for murder.
