Jeffery Stovall
A 25-year-old Marion County man pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape this morning in Circuit Court.
Jeffery Stovall pleaded guilty to having sex with a 12-year-old female child in April of 2008. He will be sentenced Aug. 4 in Lamar County and faces 20 years to life in prison.
Because he is charged with a sex offense he will not be eligible for parole and will have to register as a sex offender.
In another matter from Circuit Court this morning, Terez Lee, 31, of Columbia, was sentenced to seven years in prison as a habitual offender for burglary and 15 years with five years to serve for a charge of sale of a controlled substance, cocaine. The sentences will run consecutive to one another.
The Honorable Circuit Court Judge Prentiss Harrell presided over Lee’s sentencing and Stovall’s plea.
and who said Judge Harrell didnt send anyone up> this proves he is doing his job.
It’s about time this boy was put in jail for good!! I’m so glad he is off the street.
That is just sick. What in the world are grown folks thinking, messing with kids like that. That is the lowest of the low.
One less piece of sick trash to deal with!
I TRULY AGREE THAT IS WRONG WHAT MR.STOVALL HAS DONE. HE DO DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED BUT HE IS STILL SOMEBODY CHILD-WITH ALL THOSE CRUEL REMARKS BEING MADE TOWARD HIM.
Along with your comments of support for his family. Free speech is still alive along with the right to disagree; the justice system is working as well.
What about the poor 12 year old? That is so young to be introduced to sex. And how about that child’s parents? What he did is very wrong and SHOULD be punished and punished publicly so that an example is made of him. Maybe that will deter others from behaving like this in the future.
Oh please!
Well Ms D I wonder if you would feel the same if it was your 12 year old child.
Democrats are running this country
