Salt Lake Tribune: Child Molester "Got Game"

A male domestic worker who sexually abused the Salt Lake City boy he was hired to care for was characterized by the Salt Lake Tribune as "handsome, smart, manipulative and frighteningly determined to gratify his desires." Last year, when David Michael Busby was released on bail he went straight to a certain little boy's home and raped him, the victim's father said during a sentencing hearing in a Utah criminal court. "He's got game," the father told Judge Randall Skanchy. "It's what you'd expect from a seasoned, world-class child molester. Please lock him up until he's an old man." Judge Skanchy sentenced Busby to 45 years to life in prison. Busby, 28, had pleaded guilty to three counts of sodomy on a child, which carry potential terms of six, 10 or 15 years to life. The judge ordered the 15-year minimum on each count, and ordered all terms to run consecutively. In exchange for his pleas, prosecutors dismissed 31 other charges against Busby, as well as another case involving a different boy.
