CAMBRIDGE Rickey Tyrone Todd, 21, of 710 Hughlett St., who was accused of allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old girl in December, received a time-served sentence Tuesday morning in Dorchester County Circuit Court after he pleaded guilty to second-degree assault.
Todd waived his right to a jury trial Monday morning and pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree assault as part of a plea agreement with the Dorchester County State's Attorney's Office. The remaining charges were dropped by state prosecutors.
Dorchester County Circuit Court Judge Brett Wilson sentenced Todd to five years in prison, with all but five months suspended. Todd received credit for the five months he already has served at the Dorchester County Detention Center. Wilson also placed Todd on three years of probation.

Should have gotten a life sentence.
Anonymous 1:58 - I agree
With this light of a sentence this is saying that go ahead and have sex with a 13 year old it will only cost you 5 months in airconditioning, 3 meals a day, recreation hall use, free medical and dental care.
I am sure with this traversity of Justice we will be reading about him again in the future, guilty of another sex crime.
3:24pm.. do you mean travesty? In any case, I agree with you. The state's attorney in will be seeing him again.
Then again, it makes you wonder what all of the facts were in the case. Whether or not the 13 yr old consented. Even if she did, I don't think a 13 yr old has the maturity to make that kind of decision. Probably why they have a statutory law.
