The statements explained trauma each person lives with due to Main's actions, and described Main's acts as "inhumane," "heinous" and "monstrous."
Additionally, the statements emphasized how Main's "ugliness" and "sickness" will never be fixed.
The judge described Main's acts as "despicable," and noted that Main denied responsibility and downplayed his actions.
Main has been held on $1,500,000 bond in the Lake County Jail from the time of his arrest until his trial.
His bond was revoked after the verdict.
The 120-year sentence is to be served at 85-percent.
