A local man has been given what is in essence a life sentence for molesting a handicapped toddler.The man, Joseph Anthony Saitta Jr., 23, was sentenced Wednesday to 58 years in prison by Circuit Court Judge Bart Stanley. His sentence will require him to serve 100 percent of the time meaning he will not be eligible for release from prison until he is 81 years old. Judge Stanley also denied bond should he appeal the case.The sentence comes after Stanley heard evidence against Saitta which went before a jury earlier this year.
