Ventura County Judge Charles McGraph told Michael White, 31, in sentencing him to a maximum 17 years in state prison, that he was totally anti-social and he should be locked up longer. White, a former security guard, pleaded guilty in Ventura Superior Court to charges of kidnaping a 12-year-old girl in March of this year, taking her to Arizona and then to Texas, where he was arrested by the FBI and local police in a trailer park in May. White, said to be a friend of the girl’s mother, also admitted to child molestation, check forgery, grand theft and prior convictions for felony grand theft. The judge ignored the girl’s statement to a probation officer that she went willingly with White and that he should not be sent to prison.
