NEWARK (CBS) — A Newark man will spend the rest of his life in prison for raping a young child.
Jeffrey Richard, 33, was sentenced to life after pleading guilty in September to one count of rape in the first degree.
Richard repeatedly had oral sex with a child between the ages of 3 and 6 years old over a three-year period.
Deputy Attorney General Diana Dunn secured Richard’s sentence.
