Sentenced: 78YO Warren Man Convicted Of Raping 9YO Girl

[Sugar Cookie]

A 78-year-old Warren man could face a sentence of life in prison after being convicted of raping a 9-year-old girl.

After deliberating less than three hours Tuesday afternoon, a jury in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court returned a guilty verdict against Jose Gaetan on two counts of rape, and five counts of gross sexual imposition. Gaetan was found "not guilty" on one count of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

The charges came after an incident involving the girl at Gaetan’s home in February of last year.

After the verdict was read, Jose Gaetan was taken away in handcuffs.

Trumbull County Assistant Prosecutor Gabe Wildman said it was the young victim’s testimony that was especially convincing. Wildman says the grooming all began with Gaetan showering with the victim when she was just five years old.

"Ultimately, the victim in this case is the reason we were able to obtain a conviction. She showed incredible courage taking the stand to tell the truth about what this man did to her," Wildman said.

Brave girl!

Sounds like grandpa was a pedo. Shower access with a 5yr would have to be someone pretty close.

Gross, he needs to die.

Well at least he will die in prison-but that's still too good for him

I hope plenty of people have "shower access" to old Jose.
