A man from Nebraska City who duct-taped two boys to chairs and forced
them to watch the movie “Mommie Dearest” has been sentenced to three
years in prison.
Authorities said the mother of the boys, ages 4 and 6, wanted them to watch the movie to show them she wasn’t the world's meanest mom.
Mary K. Lucas' boyfriend, 30-year-old Glenn Oliver, was babysitting in
August while she was working. He told police the boys weren't minding
him, so he used duct tape to secure them to chairs while the movie
played.
An acquaintance stopped by, saw the boys and called police, according to
court documents.
A picture she took with her phone showed them with their arms, legs and heads strapped and tape over their mouths. Police said the home was filthy, filled with trash and smelled strongly of animal feces and urine. Oliver pleaded guilty to two felony counts of intentional child abuse.
The Otoe County Attorney’s Office dropped two additional felony charges
of false imprisonment.
District Judge Jeffrey Funke sentenced him to three years behind bars
with credit for 178 days served. He also ordered 18 months of supervised
probation after Oliver is released.
Lucas, 28, pleaded no contest last month to negligent child abuse. Her
sentencing is set for April 12.
