CHARLESTON – Former teacher and coach Louis “Skip” ReVille was sentenced to 50 years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to nearly two dozen child sex charges at a hearing where a victim called him “a demon who rapes angels.”
ReVille, who worked at schools, camps, churches and recreation programs in the Charleston area, was arrested in October and pleaded to 22 counts involving victims in Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley counties dating back a decade.
The charges included criminal sexual conduct, committing a lewd act on a minor, criminal solicitation of a minor and dissemination of obscene material. ReVille received 50 years on the most serious charge, first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, in this case, a boy who was only 10 years old. He could have received life on that charge.
