PARIS — A 21-year-old man pleaded guilty in the Oxford County Superior Court on Monday to sexually assaulting a teenage girl two years ago.
Jacob James Goddard, of 26 Cottage St. in Norway, admitted to a charge of unlawful sexual contact. The plea substituted the charge for four counts of gross sexual assault, which were dismissed.
Goddard, formerly of Mill Hill Road in Waterford, was arrested in May 2008 on charges of raping a 15-year-old girl when he was 19 years old.
Under the plea agreement, Justice Robert Clifford sentenced Goddard to serve one year of a four-year prison sentence. Goddard must also have no contact with the girl, attend sex offender counseling and register as a sex offender for 10 years.
“I really hope you learned from this and get the help you need,” the girl told Goddard as she spoke to the court.

This is disgusting. This guy rapes a teenage girl and is allowed to plead guilting to touching her in a sexual way against her wishes and all the rest of the children of Maine are getting is less than one year of protections from him since, with "goodtime," he will be out well before one year. In 10 years, since he now has a little more experience and will learn more in the school of jail on not getting caught and/or convicted, he wont even have to register to warn his neighbors to take added precautions to warn and protect their children. We can probably expect to see more of his victims around who hide the fact, after all, what is the point of coming forward!
