HUDSON — Four people found guilty of a number of child-sex crimes were sentenced in Columbia County Court on Tuesday afternoon to serve up to life in prison.

Goliath Van Alphen, of Claverack; his former wife, Jeanine Van Alphen-Moot, of Hillsdale; Eugene Shackleton, of Copake; and William Wendover III, of Cairo, were found guilty Aug. 10 on the most serious counts stemming from the abuse of multiple children between June 2009 and Feburary 2011.

Van Alphen, who was found guilty of 11 felony charges in the case, was sentenced to 124 2/3 years to life. Van Alphen Moot was given 50 years to life. Shackleton was given 71 years to life, and Wendover was given 69 ½ year to life in prison.


Each defendant had two of the charges they were found guilty on thrown out before the sentencing, but the sentences handed down were still severe enough to send the four to prison for what may be the rest of their lives.
