A pediatrician charged with molesting several generations of children will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Dr. Johnnie “Jack” Barto, 71, on Monday was sentenced to 79 to 158 years in prison, which Attorney General Josh Shapiro says “virtually guarantees” he’ll be locked up for the rest of his life. The sentence was handed down after 18 of the Pennsylvania doctor’s now-grown victims pleaded with the judge to give him the maximum penalty.

Prosecutors say Barto targeted girls and boys, most of whom were between the ages of 8 and 12 — although one of his alleged victims was only two weeks old. During the trial, Barto’s wife of 48 years turned against him, sitting with the victims when the verdict was read and event asking the judge for justice on their behalf.
