The man who admitted to chaining his 15-year-old daughter to a bed to keep her from overeating was sentenced today to spend 15 years in prison. He’ll be eligible for parole in five years.
District Judge Valorie Vega sentenced Robert Blue, 53, to prison after he pleaded guilty in February to felony child abuse and neglect charges.
Blue told the judge that he’s a changed man and asked for probation. He said he is suffering from severe health problems, including high blood pressure and diabetes, that contributed to his abusing his children. He also said he was greatly sorry for abusing the children.
