Escambia Man Gets 35 Years For Abusing Child

April 8, 2015

An Escambia County man is headed to prison on sex offender charges.

Nathan Matthew Kinard, 35, was sentenced Tuesday by Escambia County Circuit Court Judge Edward Nickinson to 35 years in state prison followed by a lifetime of sexual offender probation.  Kinard will be required to serve 25 years as a minimum mandatory sentence. Kinard was also designated as a sexual predator and will be required to register as a sexual predator and comply with all statutory requirements.

Kinard entered a guilty plea to two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation as well as escape, attempted escape and criminal mischief for crimes he committed while awaiting trial at the Escambia County Jail.

During August 2014, prosecutors said Kinard had sexual contact with an eight-year old child victim.  DNA recovered from the victim matched the defendant.

    Locked up for 25 years will put a 60 year old perv back on the streets,

    To some this may seem like a good sentence, but really? I don’t think so! If there was ever a reason to execute a man this would be it!!

    Look at his mugshot he is smiling.

    I wonder if he will be smiling when he walks out of prison when he is 60 years old ?

    Wonder if he will have that same look on his face 25 years from now.

    I do hope someone deems it necessary to wipe that smile off his face. At least once a day. Every day.
