Teen Gets 30 Years For Burglarizing, Raping Woman, 65

A teen will spend the next three decades in jail after he admitted to burglarizing and raping a 65-year-old woman.

A 17-year-old boy was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday after he admitted attacking a 65-year-old woman.  

Prosecutors said Anthony Jackson was 16 years old when he left a window open to a home he burglarized last year, 10TV's Tanisha Mallett reported.  

Four days later, Jackson returned to the home and raped the 65-year-old homeowner, breaking her arm in the process, prosecutors said. 

Jackson admitted in court in October that he was already on probation for burglary at the time of the rape, 10TV News reported. 

Prosecutors said that Jackson planned the attack.

On Wednesday, Jackson said that he was sorry for what happened.

"I just want to say that I am sorry for what happened, and I am not just saying this because I am about to go down, but I really am sorry for what I did," Jackson said.  

Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Judge Daniel Hogan told Jackson how he felt about the crime, 10TV's Tanisha Mallett reported.

"The next time this happens, I hope someone shoots you right through the middle before you get far into the endeavor," Hogan said.

Once released from jail, Jackson must register as a Tier III sex offender.
