Some measure of justice was served after child predator Jarvis Butts was sentenced to 35–60 years in prison for killing a 13-year-old girl, Na'Ziyah Harris, on Thursday, 12 March. However, the 43-year-old was facing other charges related to sexually assaulting children.

Aside from the Harris case, Butts was also sentenced to 10–15-year sentences for sexually assaulting other children. This will all run concurrently to the longer murder sentence. It was added that parole will only be possible after he has served 35 years behind bars, Fox 2 reported.
