LUBBOCK, Texas — Thomas John Boukamp, 22, was sentenced to life in prison in federal prison Thursday for cyberstalking & kidnapping a 14-year-old Lubbock girl in 2020.
The minimum sentence Boukamp faced was 15 years & the maximum was life.
Boukamp was convicted of 16 charges in June. Boukamp represented himself at trial after he was allowed to fire his lawyers in May.
However, for his sentencing, Boukamp had an appointed defense attorney.
During the sentencing hearing, Boukamp’s father, older brother & sister spoke.
All 3 expressed how sorry they were for any & all pain that Boukamp caused to the victim – identified only as Jane Doe & her family.
The family said after Boukamp was arrested, he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. They explained they believe that his diagnosis explained his actions.
During the trial, it was revealed that Boukamp began talking to the victim – identified only as Jane Doe – when she was 13. In November 2020, he took her to his house in Michigan.
Doe testified during trial that Boukamp sexually assaulted her several times a day in Michigan and forcibly removed her braces with pliers.
The federal judge presiding over the case denied Boukamp’s motion for a new trial on Thursday.
As the federal judge gave Boukamp his sentence, he told him that he had never had someone in his court with such a high offense level.
If Boukamp were released, he would be under court supervision for life.

Kanye West has just had 1 of his most important relationships in the fashion world ended ... Balenciaga has reportedly cut ties with Ye.
According to Women's Wear Daily, Kering, the French fashion house parent company to Balenciaga has released a statement saying, "Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist."
While the statement did not expand further, you have to imagine the decision was made after Kanye's repeated anti-Semitic attacks & controversies over the past few months.
Kanye & Balenciaga have a long history & most recently partnered for a Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection that sold like wildfire.
Kanye also opened Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show, walking the runway & generating a ton of attention for the brand.
Of course, Kanye still has a multi-billion-dollar deal with Adidas -- a partnership the brand has reportedly said was "under review."
DALLAS (Fox5) - Dallas police arrested a man accused of murdering a 21-year-old woman after she beat him at basketball.
Cameron Hogg, 31, was arrested on Thursday & charged with murder.
Hogg allegedly killed Asia Womack after a heated basketball game on Oct. 3.
Her family says she was in a pickup game at the park playing against Hogg & she won. The family also says there was trash talk, too.
Hogg drove to another location & confronted Asia after the basketball game. That’s when he allegedly shot her four times, killing her.
Weeks after Andrea Womack's daughter, Asia, was shot & killed, Dallas police arrested the man they say murdered her over an argument following a game of pick-up basketball.
"He’d pull up to my house, pick her up. They’d ride together, eat food together, take his phone calls, give him money in jail, and you turn around and kill her?" Andrea said. "When I got that call, I was full of joy this morning. Hadn’t had joy in a while. But with him being captured, I am full of joy today."
Court documents say after words were exchanged on Oct. 3 Asia & a friend were sitting outside with a tv hooked up to watch football. Asia’s friend told police Hogg drove his truck to where they were & got out angry.
The witness told police Asia stood up ready to confront Hogg again. But without saying a word, Hogg pointed a handgun & shot her twice in the chest. She fell. And while she was falling, he shot two more times & then left.
Asia was a whiz at basketball, playing her high school days at Madison High School.
Police issued a warrant for Hogg's arrest on Oct. 11. He remains in the Dallas County jail without bond.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — More than 150 years after slaves were freed in the U.S., voters in 5 states will soon decide whether to close loopholes that led to the proliferation of a different form of slavery — forced labor by people convicted of certain crimes.
None of the proposals would force immediate changes inside the states’ prisons, though they could lead to legal challenges related to how they use prison labor, a lasting imprint of slavery’s legacy on the entire United States.
The effort is part of a national push to amend the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that banned enslavement or involuntary servitude except as a form of criminal punishment. That exception has long permitted the exploitation of labor by convicted felons.
“The idea that you could ever finish the sentence ‘slavery’s okay when ... ’ has to rip out your soul & I think it’s what makes this a fight that ignores political lines & brings us together, because it feels so clear,” said Bianca Tylek, executive director of Worth Rises, a criminal justice advocacy group pushing to remove the amendment’s convict labor clause.
Nearly 20 states have constitutions that include language permitting slavery & involuntary servitude as criminal punishments. In 2018, Colorado was the first to remove the language from its founding frameworks by ballot measure, followed by Nebraska & Utah 2 years later.
This November, versions of the question go before voters in Alabama, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee & Vermont.
Sen. Raumesh Akbari, a Democrat from Memphis, was shocked when a fellow lawmaker told her about the slavery exception in the Tennessee Constitution & immediately began working to replace the language.
“When I found out that this exception existed, I thought, ‘We have got to fix this & we’ve got to fix this right away,’” she said. “Our constitution should reflect the values & the beliefs of our state.”
SAN ANTONIO (KENS5) — 7 months after police say he shot another man in the head, a San Antonio man is now behind bars.
Frank Kalvin Mosley II was arrested Monday in connection to a shooting that happened back in March.
Police said Mosley & the victim were neighbors, classmates & longtime friends. But that friendship took a turn when Mosley got upset with his 21-year-old friend for “liking” his girlfriend’s pictures on Instagram.
On March 8 police were called out for a shooting. When officers got there, they found a man who had been shot in the head. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Witnesses told police the victim went to Mosley’s apartment to fight, escalating the feud. While they were outside, 1 witness saw Mosley with a gun.
A few minutes later, that witness heard a gunshot, ran outside & saw the victim laying on the ground.
Mosley ran, but police finally caught up with him on Monday.
Investigators were able to identify Mosley from matching pictures posted on his social media accounts to his booking picture on file.
Mosley’s girlfriend told officers she’d never seen Mosley with a gun, he had posted photos of himself with different guns on his social media accounts.
Investigators said the victim was able to recover enough to communicate with his family & told his parents during a speech therapy session that Mosley is the person who shot him.
Mosley is now jailed on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges, his bond set at $75,000. He's also facing charges of evading arrest.
