An Idaho man who abus3d his girlfriend’s young daughter for decades & impregnated her twice, once when she was just 11 years old & again when she was 13, has been sentenced to 20 years behind bars. Chris Hamburg, 63, was sentenced last week for transporting a child across state lines with intent to SA. First indicted in 2022, Hamburg struck a plea deal with prosecutors this July to avoid facing 4 additional charges involving the same victim in a second superseding indictment issued months after his arrest. In the end, he instead pleaded to 2 counts of transporting a minor. The sexual torment Hamburg inflicted began in the 1990s when he started dating the victim’s mother in Washington state. Hamburg moved in with the adult woman & started abus*ng her daughter, who was just 8 or 9 years old at the time. The abus3 was steady until the child became pregnant at 11 years old & gave birth to a son. That’s when Hamburg moved the family from Washington to Idaho in order to “avoid child protective services,”. Though the location had changed, the abus3 didn’t stop. Hamburg repeatedly rap3d his girlfriend’s minor daughter. He impregnated her again at 13 years old & she gave birth to a second son. An investigation was opened & a warrant was eventually issued for Hamburg’s DNA. A paternity test confirmed he fathered the 2 boys she gave birth to when she was just a child herself. The now-40-year-old victim said it was Hamburg’s choice to move the family across state lines so many times that it anchored the federal grand jury indictment against him. She also recalled how Hamburg would “disappear” when it came time for her to give birth, leaving just her and her mother to the task. When the child would be born, then Hamburg would show up again. The victim said her mother was unaware of what was happening. The victim said Hamburg barred her from talking or socializing with people outside of the homes she shared with him, her mother & her children. As the years passed & the victim’s son turned 14, he asked for a computer. This triggered a sequence of events that would change Hamburg’s life forever & hers. While her son used the computer to watch videos on YouTube, she started commenting online about her circumstances at home. At some point, Hamburg had vanished from the victim’s life too. The victim said it was an online confidante who, by sheer coincidence, opened the door to Hamburg’s arrest for her abus3. Urged to file charges by an online friend, the victim needed DNA to prove the paternity of her children before pursuing Hamburg in court. The victim’s son agreed & within weeks, the crimes were reported & the FBI tracked Hamburg down at a motel in Montana. Hamburg must register as a SO. In addition to the 20-year sentence, the judge also imposed a sentence of 3 years of supervised release. Hamburg would be in his 80s by the time he is freed. “Our detectives spent a year & a half seeking justice for the victim in this horrific crime & we feel it’s important to commend her for her bravery in coming forward and for her participation in this process. It is a difficult but worthy endeavor,” Boise Police Lieutenant Terry Weir said. “We remind all victims that it’s never too late to report crimes of this nature. Boise Police officers & our Special Victim’s Unit work closely with victim support services at Faces of Hope Victim Center & we are ready & available to do whatever we can to bring some sense of justice to those who have been victimized.” #truecrimecommunity #truecrime #crimestories #crimetoks #crime #truecrimetok #crimetok #crimetiktoker #crimetiktok - @crimeatyourfingertips
