LOS ANGELES<\/strong> \u2013 A retired Marine captain who was convicted of drugging and sexually abusing girls in Cambodia was sentenced today to 210 years in federal prison, according to federal authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Joseph Pepe, 60, of Oxnard, was convicted in 2008 of seven felony counts for traveling to Cambodia to have sex with underaged girls, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer said in court that Pepe showed no remorse for what he did to the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cMonstrous does not begin to capture the horror of the crime or the impact on the victims,\u201d Judge Fischer said.<\/p>\n

Six of the seven girls testified at Pepe’s trial about how Pepe drugged, bound, beat and raped them. The girls were between the ages of 9 and 13 years, according to authorities. Some of the victims testified that Pepe forced them to give them sexual massages and perform oral sex on him on a daily basis, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPredators cannot hide in foreign nations to conceal their deviant sexual desire,” \u00a0said U.S Attorney Andr\u00e9 Birotte Jr. \u201cOur efforts to coordinate with law enforcement around the world have resulted in the identification and prosecution of Americans who are exploiting the children in other countries. This lengthy sentence should serve as a stern warning to other pedophiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The prostitute who acted as Pepe\u2019s broker testified on videotape about bringing young victims to his residence. Pepe paid the broker and the victims\u2019 families for unlimited access to the girls, authorities said.<\/span><\/p>\n
