A Michigan man gets added prison time after calling Detroit's WRIF-FM to brag about his crime
He was convicted of using a computer while committing a sex crime and pled guilty in a case where he videotaped himself having sex with a woman without her knowledge. Brandon Goddard was facing 26 days in jail and probation – that is, until he decided to call Detroit’s WRIF-FM (101.1) prior to being sentenced. WDIV-TV reports he said on the radio about the victim in the case, “This girl is a total nut job. She decided to tell the cops and say she didn’t know she was being recorded.” Goddard didn’t realize that someone in the Macomb County Prosecutor’s office was listening to WRIF, and after getting a tape of the call, played it in front of the judge prior to Goddard’s sentence. For his lack of remorse, Goddard received 63 days in jail, and the one year’s probation he was to receive was increased to three years.
