Sentence issued in child sex case
Irene Hunt, the companion of a self-styled religious leader, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for transporting her 7-year-old son to have sex with an adult.
Hunt’s companion, 60-year-old Allen Harrod of Sacramento, was found guilty earlier this month of transporting minors for sexual activity.
He was accused of engaging in ritualistic sex acts with children from two families for more than a decade as part of a religion he says he started. One of his followers, 48-year-old Michael Labrecque, also was previously convicted.
Hunt, 53, had pleaded guilty to transporting her son to Texas to have sex with another of Harrod’s followers, Juliette Labrecque, who was then 33.
