A Norman man convicted of molesting underaged children over a two-year period received 400 years in prison Wednesday from a Cleveland County judge.
Anthony Lynn Dunn, aka Anthony Defreeze, was found guilty during a February jury trial of six counts of lewd molestation to a child under 16. On Thursday, District Judge Thad Balkman delivered on the juryâs suggestion â which included individual sentencing recommendations of anywhere from 25 to 100 years per count â and gave Dunn 400 years, to be served consecutively.
Balkman said Wednesday as he delivered his decision that the sentences are âlengthy, but theyâre legal and theyâre just.â
