On Nov. 17, Middlesex County Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey Shaw sentenced Jimmy Elias Bristow, of Wake, to 40 years in prison and a $30,000 fine after Bristow was found guilty of 20 sex crimes involving minors that occurred over 30 years.
On June 29, a jury of six men and six women found Bristow guilty following a two-day trial. The jury recommended Bristow be sentenced to 40 years and a fine of $30,000. Bristow, 76, would be 116 years old when he completes his sentence, likely meaning he will remain behind bars the rest of his life.
