View source for Bassett gets 329 years for online child sex luring

Samuel Bassett, invoking Good Friday at his sentencing, told the court, "I would rather take my chances on a cross than where I am headed." Bassett, 35, of Lake Montezuma, is one of the so-called Yavapai 6, men who claim Yavapai County Sheriff's Detective Pam Edgerton unfairly targeted them in a sting in which she portrayed a 13-year-old girl named Brenna while conducting sexually-charged chats. A jury convicted him of 40 felonies in a case based on an online child sex sting. Judge Michael Bluff sentenced Bassett Friday to 329 years in prison on the convictions, of which 205.5 years must be served consecutively.<br>
