Stepfather who impregnated teen with syringe gets 20 years

An Ohio man who used a syringe to get his 16-year-old stepdaughter pregnant has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

John Goff plans to appeal his convictions for rape, sexual battery and child endangerment. Goff and his wife claim the teen agreed to be impregnated, though he admits to what he calls "the most ill-conceived plan since Enron." He said he did it because the girl's mother could no longer conceive.

The young woman gave birth to a boy in 1999 and helped raise him for a year before placing him for adoption.

Ironically, Goff and his wife once campaigned for tougher rape laws in Ohio after the acquittal of a man charged with molesting the same youngster.
