Alcorn County sex offender gets life sentence after additional conviction

A man with a previous history of sexual violence has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison after another conviction involving children under the age of 14.

Ronald Larry Goodloe will be serving life in prison after he was convicted by an Alcorn County jury.

Previously Goodloe was convicted 15 years ago of a crime that was described as sexually torturing two young boys…a 9-year old and a 12-year old. According to an arrest report, Goodloe sodomized one of the boys with an object.

The local jury then returned the following according to the District Attorney’s office:
