Sex offender sentenced to 25 years

A 40-year-old man sentenced to 25 years in prison for fondling an 11-year-old girl.

Donnie Rae Jones was given the sentence today, in addition to lifetime sex offender probation when he is released.  Jones was convicted of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation in October.

He was arrested in 2008 after a mother contacted police to say her child had been sexually abused.  The abuse itself happened in 2006.
