Therapy, jail ordered for molester
By JOHN WEBSTER (Chronicle Staff Writer)
Accused of making pornographic pictures of a 6-year-old Spokane girl with help from his 19-year-old wife, a 55-year-old man pleaded guilty in Superior Court last week to two counts of indecent liberties. Judge John J. Ripple placed Kermit F. Brooks on 20 years probation, committed him to Eastern State Hospital for a determination of whether he is a treatable sexual psychopath, and ordered that he serve two years in jail.
Ripple told Brooks, now of Seattle, that if he is deemed unacceptable for the mental institution's sexual psychopathy treatment program, he will be sent to prison. The two-year jail term. Ripple said, will begin as soon as Brooks completes the in-patient psychopathy treatment, which usually lasts a few years.
Defense Attorney John Nollette urged the judge not to send his client to prison, arguing that he probably would be killed there by fellow inmates, who have a well-known hatred for child molesters Nollette added that Brooks suffers from cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes and lung problems, among other things, and will probably die before the 20-year probationary term ends.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Patricia Thompson told the court that in 1978, the defendant and his wife were baby-sitting the young Spokane girl.
Brooks engaged in various sexual activities with the little girl while his wife took photographs, Also, she engaged in various sexual activities with the child while Brooks took pictures, the prosecutor said.
Investigators also found photographs showing Brooks engaged in sex acts with other young girls. Miss Thompson said.
There were indications that some photographs of the activities were sold, although it recently became more difficult to sell child pornography in western Washington, where the defendant resided, because of government crack downs there, the prosecutor said.
Betty Lynn Saferite, now 22, Spokane, who was the defendant's wife at the time of the activities, pleaded guilty earlier this week to two counts of communication with a minor for immoral purposes. Ripple allowed her to remain free pending a presentence investigation.
Mrs. Saferite told the court her husband forced her to engage in the activities. Her husband, on the other hand, contended she initiated the child molesting.
Miss Thompson told Ripple that at one point. Brooks told the 6-year-old she had better not tell her mother about the goings-on, threatening her with a rifle and a handgun.
The child, now 9, who has developed psychological problems, is now undergoing counseling. Miss Thompson said.
