A Walkerton man is going to prison for a long time for molesting young family members.

Jason Hershberger, 35, said nothing as the judge sentenced him to 90 years in prison on six counts of child molesting Friday, according to WNDU.

It was a trial there some jurors actually walked out during the trial because of the disturbing details of the case. The judge said that there’s only been three times in her career where that’s happened, according to WNDU.

The molestations took place between 2012 and 2014 with three different children, all under the age of five. One of the victims said that Hershberger used a sex device on her, which later tested positive for DNA from both Hershberger and the victim, according to court documents.

In addition to his lengthy sentence, Hershberger was also given a “no contact” order with the victims.
