Billy Hooper
William Wellington “Billy” Hooper of Mathews was sentenced to life in prison on Monday by Judge David Novak of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Richmond.
The sentence came after a jury trial last September, during which Hooper was convicted of four counts of crimes involving minors. At that time, it took the jury less than an hour and a half to deliberate before returning guilty verdicts on charges of conspiracy to produce child pornography, production of child pornography, and two counts of coercion and enticement of a minor.
Back in the mid-seventies I wrote some stuff for an HTV film which included the line: Photographs are just memories, captured on a screen, and the snaps I include in these TRMs undoubtedly prove my point. Here are some of your memories received following last week s pictures. Firstly - re the Milford Fishmarket snap: From Nicky Lovell (via WT online) My dad started as a box runner at 15, and still worked the docks til he was 68. Ann Davies (WT online) Remember going there with my Grampy. Christian April Smart (WT online) Wonder if my grandfather Bobby Whisby is in the photograph.
