Convicted child sex offender blasts city

SWEETWATER-A Sweetwater man who's looking at a potential 94 years in prison after pleading guilty to child sex abuse charges, is upset with the City of Sweetwater.

Charles Edward "Eddie" Ledford pleaded guilty to child abuse/neglect, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts rape of a child and aggravated sexual battery in September. He is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 11 and Assistant District Attorney General Paul Rush has requested Ledford receive the maximum sentence of 94 years for his crimes.

While waiting to find out what his sentence will be, Ledford sent two letters to Sweetwater Mayor Doyle Lowe, upset over all his possessions being seized and that he now faces life in prison, even though the child he raped was so young that, in his words, "she can't remember anything."

In the letters, Ledford calls Lowe "Dough Low" and refers to him as the "Mayor of Crapwater" and thanks him for getting his (Ledford's) "Wrapest (sic) self off the streets."
