A Springfield man will serve life in prison on charges stemming from an alleged sexual abuse of a 4-year-old girl and drug use by her 6-year-old sister.
Dale Driscoll, 28, of Clifton Avenue, was sentenced Sept. 17 to serve life without parole - the maximum possible sentence - for raping a 4-year-old girl in February, said Clark County Assistant Prosecutor Andy Wilson. A jury found him guilty of the crime Sept. 15.
In January 2007, state law changed to allow sentencing for a life without parole sentence for rape of a victim under 10, said Wilson.
Due to the victim's age and Driscoll's lengthy criminal history, he was given the maximum sentence.
"When I pulled his rap sheet, it was five feet long," said Wilson.
