Julia Burton Gets 4 to 20 for Prostituting Runaway
34-year-old Julia Burton doesn’t appear to have any kids of her own. But she took on the responsibility of being a mother when she and her husband, Milo Burton, took in a 12-year-old runaway. Their intentions, however, were anything but parental. The female Burton was sentenced this week for up to 20 years for her part in prostituting the girl out to friends of her husband. The case is somewhat reminiscent of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka of Canada - though, fortunately, far less twisted and gruesome.
I wonder where this 12-year-old girl’s real parents were. Were they actively looking for her? Was she a foster kid? The news story gives painfully little detail. If anyone knows what’s happened to her, and how she ended up in this sick situation in the first place, let me know. If she does have living parents, I hope to hell that they’re keeping her much closer to home.
