The Florida court sentenced a teenage assailant to 25 years behind bars for cruelly attacking and s3xually assaulting his elderly neighbor who was 91 years old.
Jesse Stone alias 15-year-old had earlier accepted responsibility for s3xual assault of an older woman and burglary with physical battery.
The disturbed teen received jail-time amounting to 237 days of his sentence for his heinous assault on Friday.
The court declared that his current prison term would result in a subsequent 30-year s3x offender probation period according to Law&Crime reporting.
‘His actions are egregious and the victim in this case is lucky to be alive under these circumstances,’ Judge Lisa Herndon said as she set out to sentence the disgruntled teen.
The 14-year-old Stone entered the sleeping Reddick home of his elderly neighbor before attacking her then raping her before running away on June 9, 2024.
During the attack, Stone covered the woman’s face with a pillow so she couldn’t see him, prosecutor Katrina Self said.
‘He could’ve suffocated her, and he continued to restrain her even after she managed to fight back,’ Self added.
During the Friday hearing, Self emphasized the ‘violent nature’ of the attack.
The woman had treated the disturbed youth well before this incident took place according to the evidence.
‘This was a woman that only ever showed him loving kindness throughout his time living in the neighborhood with her,’ the state prosecutor said.
The woman had ‘considered the defendant to be a friend,’ she added.
However, Stone’s defense attorney, Jonathan Mills, argued that the boy ‘was remorseful’ and ‘was nowhere near fully developed.’
‘His brain was nowhere near fully developed when this incident happened,’ Mills said.
Mills continued his defense of the teen’s sickening crime describing Stone as ‘addicted to p*rnography’ and ‘lacking a father figure.’
The defense attorney also cited Stone’s ‘impressive’ school record citing good grades. According to Mills the accused youth was open to undergoing treatment for his s3xual offender behavior.

The troubled teen’s sentencing comes just months after a man s3xually assaulted an elderly Alzheimer’s patient after knocking on her door and taking advantage of her confusion.
A hidden security system recorded the disgusting incident within the Pacoima, Los Angeles residence of the victim. The authorities believe that extensive undercover monitoring became the only way for them to discover the horrifying abuse incident.
The 81-year-old woman let the man with a beard enter her home shortly after 6:45pm on April 29 while he carried a backpack which he placed by her walker.
The surveillance video shows how the woman walked slowly in the room based on her physical condition which made her feel she knew the man and had no issue with his presence.
Without realizing the approaching police surveillance the man tightly embraced her body then put his face close to hers while holding her back.
After his actions law enforcement categorized them as attempted rape before beginning their search which ended in locating him about seven days later near the initial crime scene.
New accusations state he made the mentally-impaired woman execute s3xual activities on him.
The son-in-law said she didn’t remember the abuse due to her condition, and they wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for the hidden cameras.
The camera system operated in stealth mode because her mother would disable it when she forgot the purpose of the technology so alerts notified her daughter about early times.
Watching the recorded tape brought her horror at seeing what had gone on.
‘There’s a lot of elderly people in the community. The son-in-law demanded that man should leave public space immediately.
‘It’s probably not the first time and it won’t be the last time he’s done this, or will do this.’
