91-year-old former Marine sentenced for allegedly molesting boys

COLUMBIA, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that a 91-year-old Upstate man was recently sentenced to 15 years in prison for multiple charges.
Wilson said Lorin “Larry” Mixon was sentenced for three counts of Lewd Act on a Minor after entering a plea. He added that he was sentenced to the maximum amount of time for that charge and will need to register as a sex offender after he’s released.

Some of the victims were at Mixon’s hearing and asked that he get the maximum sentence.
