In Federal Court today, Jimmie Vance Grubbs, 67, a former CMS school teacher was sentenced to serve 20 years in federal prison, followed by a supervised release term of life.
Grubbs entered a guilty plea to 12 separate federal criminal counts alleging interstate transportation of a minor for the purpose of engaging in criminal sexual activity and illicit sexual conduct.
During the sentencing hearing, the government presented testimony and evidence showing that Grubbs had been molesting boys since the 1970's- and continued to molest boys throughout the 1980's, 1990's... up to 2004. In all, the government presented evidence that Grubbs had molested at least six boys over the past three decades in addition to the five boys alleged in the Indictment.
In handing down today’s sentence, U.S. District Judge Robert J. Conrad, Jr. noted that Grubbs’ abuse of boys took place at Grubbs’ home, at the school where he taught language arts, at various churches, where he was a Sunday School teacher and Youth Group leader and on trips to Myrtle Beach and on trips to the University of South Carolina sporting events. Judge Conrad deemed Grubbs “the worst kind of predator.”
