(From North Coast Journal, January 2004):

CHILD MOLESTER SENTENCED: "A Eureka man responsible for raping three boys every night for more than four years was sentenced Monday in Superior Court to 165 years to life in prison. Mike Hiscox, 42, was convicted in November of 11 counts of child molestation involving his former girlfriend's sons, who ranged in age at the time of the crimes from 7 to 12. Hiscox tearfully asked Judge John Feeney for leniency, saying that he was sorry for the trauma he'd inflicted on the boys but that he no longer engages in "aberrant behavior."
