Personally, I like this sentence.

A man was sentenced to more than 4,000 years in prison Wednesday for sexually assaulting three teenage girls over two years.

A day after finding James Kevin Pope guilty, jurors sentenced him to 40 life prison terms — one for each sex assault conviction — and 20 years for each of the three sexual performance of a child convictions.

At the request of prosecutors, state District Judge Graham Quisenberry ordered Pope to serve the sentences consecutively, adding up to 4,060 years. He will be eligible for parole in the year 3209, according to the Parker County District Attorney's Office.

Given his new-found affection for those who abuse kids, I suspect that Justice Kennedy would consider this cruel and unusual punishment. Unfortunately, our black-robed overlords tell us that we can't execute disgusting creatures like Pope, so requiring him to serve time into the next millennium may be the best possible option.
