Art Vitasek has been sentenced to 559 years in prison for sexually molesting and abusing 8 boys. As Terry Wood of KPHO reports ("Convicted child predator sentenced to 559 1/2 years"). 

Arthur Vitasek was caught in Texas in September after being on the run from Arizona since 2005, accused of molesting his girlfriend's young son.

Police found evidence he's been molesting boys since 1990, making him one of the most prolific child molester's in Arizona's history. Authorities believe there are more victims out there, and they're hoping they will come forward.

According to Amanda Lee Myers of the Associate Press, Mr. Vitasek will never get out of prison ("Ariz. Man Who Molested 8 Boys Gets Life in Prison"): 

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Reinstein sentenced Vitasek to 11 life sentences on 11 of the charges, and since the terms will be served consecutively, Vitasek will never be eligible for parole. Vitasek was sentenced to an additional 200 years in prison on the other counts.

Among the general public, probaby because of TV, there is a belief that if someone is sentenced to prison time, they will not serve the entire term and could get out early for "good behavior." In Arizona, that is not the case as most non-dangerous terms are at least 85% and all other crimes, for example, violent, dangerous and sex crimes are "flat time".
