Jury Convicts Man Of Raping 12 Year Old
May 15, 2011
It took an Escambia County jury less than an hour to convict a man charged with raping a child.
Christopher “Dewey” Smith was convict of lewd or lascivious sexual battery for raping a 12-year old child on Labor Day of 2010. He faces a maximum of 15 years in state prison when he is sentenced by Judge Jan Shackleford on June 30.

For the record “Lewd or Lascivious Battery (Statutory Rape)”
Sounds as if it was consensual, even though the girl was far too young
These kinds of acts should have the the book thrown at them. This is a very samll amount of time to spend for something so bad. I hope the Judge in sentencing him finds away to give more time than just this. It will be interesting to see what happens. I am so sorry to hear that this little gir and her family will have to live with this the rest of their lives when he in the near future will be out walking the streets a free man. This almost seems to be a misjustis. Just saying.
JIM W : Saying the time does not fit the crime!
I thought it was life with no parole for raping a child 12 and younger.
15 years is the max? It should be more like 20-25.
GIVE HIM THE MAXIMUM!!!!!
PUT HIM UNDER THE JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
