URBANA – Twelve individual letters were read aloud to Judge Harry Clem by the parents of eight of Jon White's 11 victims. But the authors shared a common thought – punish him to the fullest extent of the law for robbing them of their little girls.

There were tears and sniffling from the observers in the packed courtroom as the parents choked back tears to tell of their misplaced trust in the teacher.
