Benjamin Rambo, who pleaded guilty March 16 to statutory rape of a child under 14, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday.

Rambo, 31, 1245 Mount Alban Road, Lot 24, appeared to break down after Judge Isadore Patrick read the sentence, which also includes five years of probation and fines and victim fees totaling $2,322.50.

“Today we protected our children,” said victim assistance coordinator Brenda Theriot. “I appreciate Judge Patrick’s sentence.”

Rambo was indicted by the Warren County Grand Jury in October on an Aug. 20 arrest.
