38 year-old Arden Middleton known as "Gad" will spend 5 years for unlawful carnal knowledge in prison. That was the sentence that Justice Troadio Gonzalez handed to him today in the mitigation hearing.
He was convicted last week in his trial when the minor testified that on July 13, 2011, she was sitting on the verandah of Little Wilt's Place on Caesar Ridge Road. She asked Middleton to use the bathroom, and he showed her where it was. The minor continued that when she went inside, Middleton followed her and had intercourse with her.
After hearing the testimony, the jury convicted him, and so today, he made a mitigation plea. On his own behalf, he told the court that for some reason, he's been convicted of this crime, which he swears he did not commit.
Middleton called several character witnesses on his behalf, and his attorney Bryan Neal also asked the court for leniency.
After considering all the factors, Justice Gonzalez sentenced him to serve 5 years in prison.
