Sentenced: Virginia Man Convicted Of Sexually Abusing 5YO Child With Special Needs

[Sugar Cookie]

Darius Jones, 41, was found guilty of forcible sodomy and aggravated sexual battery of a five-year-old special needs child.

Jones was on bond for similar charges from January 2023 when he moved into a camper in Louisa County where he gained access to the non-verbal special needs child.

In May 2023, the victim’s nine-year-old sister walked in on Jones sexually abusing the child. She immediately told her grandmother who physically confronted Jones to rescue her granddaughter.

Although the victim was non-verbal, the Department of Forensic Science helped bolster the case against Jones through a DNA certificate of analysis that corroborated the older sister’s statements. The non-verbal victim also provided detectives with a drawing that indicated the abuse.

"This is a sick human being who not only preyed on a very young child but one with special needs. We hope he spends the rest of his life in jail when he is sentenced on June 26, 2024," Commonwealth’s Attorney Rusty McGuire said.

I absolutely hate that the sister had to see that, but at the same time I am glad that he was caught! I can only imagine how frustrating and painful it would be to not be able to verbally express what happened.
