Due to the nature of his crime, Mr. Gosser will have to serve every day of his twenty-five year sentence and will not be released from custody until he is seventy-five (75) years old. This lengthy sentence will protect the children in our community. I appreciate the work of the Smith County Sheriff’s Department who investigated this case.”
