A 33 year old man who pleaded guilty to the charge of raping a 15 year-old high school student gets 12 long years behind bars to think about his hideous act.
Michael Arnold known as "Crazy" was sentenced today by Justice Herbert Lord, after he changed his plea from not guilty, to guilty, after the jury was empanelled and sworn in.
Arnold was charged with rape after the 15 year old told police that on December 4th, 2009, she was alone in her bed asleep, when she awoke to someone on top of her. She said the person told her to shut-up, and then proceeded to rape her. The girl then reported the incident to her mother after Arnold left the house.
Arnold, who did not offer any plea for mitigation, was not represented by an attorney.
The case was prosecuted by Crown Counsel, Kay Grant.
