BALTIMORE (WMAR) - A Baltimore Judge sentenced a man today for repeatedly forcing his former girlfriend's teenage daughter to participate in sexual acts.
Leon W. Jones, 57, was sentenced to 45 years in prison with all but 20 years suspended, and 5 years of probation for the sexual offenses.
When the victim was between 13 and 17-years-old, Jones repeatedly forced her to watch as he had sex with the girl's mother. He also forced her to perform fellatio on him and to kiss her mother on the mouth and breasts.
A jury convicted Jones in April of 8 separate counts of second degree sex offense.
The girl's mother previously pled guilty to 3 counts of sexual child abuse and testified against Jones.
