Vickers sentenced to life, had abused two Batavia boys
Convicted pedophile David Vickers has been sentenced to life in prison.
At least two of Vickers victims had been placed in his home by Genesee County Family Court.
Vickers, now 51 and a former truck driver originally from Ontario County, was sentenced in Federal Court in Buffalo yesterday for abusing six underage boys. All of his victims are now adults.
Prosecutors described Vickers as, “an opportunistic, serial pedophile who will never stop.”
The case against Vickers goes as far back as 1989.
Vickers took some of his victims on overnight trucking trips, prosecutors said.
In 2003, before Vickers abuse was discovered, he asked the Genesee County Family Court to place one of his victims in his home and the court approved. Two years later, the same court allowed another child to be placed with Vickers who was also abused.
Vickers brother, Sean, was also involved. He is serving a sentence of 107 years.
Vickers declined comment during his sentencing but did express concern for his own safety. He told U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara, “I don’t care where you put me, as long as I am safe.”
