Tulsa, Oklahoma – The man accused of kidnapping and raping the child known as the Broken Arrow Angel gets 6 consecutive life terms.
Douglas Polk Junior was sentenced yesterday to 6 life terms plus 40 years for sex crimes against the then 5 year old girl and an 11 year old relative.
The 5 year old was taken from her front yard, raped and then dumped miles from home. She was found, naked and bleeding, walking down a county road.
The Angel, now 8, testified in court saying she doesn't want him to hurt anyone else. Her profound statement can be read at publicradiotulsa.org.
