Six-time Convicted Sex Offender Facing Life in Prison
Written by Bradley Schlegel Staff Writer
2016-07-20

                A Quakertown man found guilty Tuesday of failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements could spend the rest of his life in jail.

                Herbert Earl Brown Jr., 56, faces a lifetime mandatory prison sentence following his conviction in a bench trial in Bucks County Court. Kate Kohler, the assistant district attorney handling the case, called it the sixth felony conviction against Brown.

                "This definitely is exactly what mandatory sentences were created for," Kohler said Wednesday morning. "This defendant is a danger to children specifically and society in general."

                A sentencing hearing before Common Pleas Court Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr., has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 26, according to Kohler. She will be seeking a life sentence for Brown.

                On July 19, Bateman found Brown guilty of failing to register with law enforcement officials as required by Megan's Law, according to the Kohler. She said also Brown created a Facebook page that he utilized to contact his former victims.

                In April, a Bucks County jury found Brown guilty of 24 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of criminal use of a communications facility, according to Kohler. She said Brown utilized a cell phone to download child pornography.

                "It took the jury less than two hours to render a decision," she said.

                According to Kohler, Brown was convicted of sexually assaulting a minor in Michigan in 1994. She said the Bucks County court convicted him on three separate occasions in 2001 – for rape, solicitation of minor to create child pornography, and corruption of a minor.
