Sex offender sentenced to 18 years for assaulting girl he was babysitting

PORT ORCHARD — A 64-year-old registered sex offender was sentenced earlier this month to 18 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a young girl he was trusted to babysit. In 1997, Henderson was convicted in Pierce County of first-degree rape of a child. Like the more recent case, Henderson was accused of sexually assaulting a girl known to him. (Kitsap Sun, June 20, 2019)
