Gosnell Accomplice Steven Massof Sentenced in Abortion "House of Horrors" Case
Final three Gosnell co-defendants set for sentencing March 13
February 13, 2014
 Philadelphia,
PA - Kermit Gosnell's right-hand man, Steven Massof, who pled guilty
to two counts of third degree murder for killing babies born alive
during shoddy late-term abortions, was sentenced yesterday to 6-12
years in prison.
Prosecutor Ed Cameron had
asked for a prison term of 10-20 years even though Massof cooperated
with the prosecution and testified against Gosnell, who is now serving
three life sentences for murder and a host of other crimes.
Massof, who earned a medical
degree in the Caribbean nation of Granada, was never licensed to
practice in the U.S. He drifted between jobs, often working as a
barkeep before landing a job at Gosnell's Women's Medical Society in
West Philadelphia.
"As evil as Dr. Gosnell was,
as charismatic as he may have been, he didn't do this alone. He
couldn't do this without the assistance of someone like you," said
sentencing Judge Benjamin Lerner.
