Prisoner agrees to vasectomy for reduced sentence

Reduction could be as much as five years

You might call Jessie Herald a ladies man.

He’s fathered at least seven children with six different women, but that’s all over now.

Herald agreed to have a vasectomy in return for his jail time to be reduced by as much as five years.

WUSA-9 reportss Shenandoah County Virginia assistant prosecutor Ilona White said the deal is about two things.

Herald is serving time for child endangerment, hit and run, and driving on a suspended license after an accident that hurt one of his children.

One, to prevent him “from fathering more than the seven children he already has.” Second, "he needs to be able to support the children he already has when he gets out," she commented.
