JACKSON, TN (abc24.com) - A West Tennessee man will spend the next 12 years behind bars for sexually assaulting a 5-year-old girl last summer.

35-year-old Joshua David Rose was charged with Rape of a Child, Child Abuse and Neglect, but accepted a "best interest" deal and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of Aggravated Sexual Battery.

In addition to the 12-year prison sentence, Rose will be on the Sex Offender Registry for life.

12 years?!?!?!?! This means he could be out in 5 or 6, on "good behavior" No one that abuses or neglects children should be allowed back into society....too many crazies!!!! SICKNING!!!! Something needs to be done to enforce stricter laws for anyone who hurts a child or takes another's life!!!!

We will now hear how this poor deviant is only "sick". I could care less how sick it is; it is irrelevant if it's DEAD! Hanging WORKS!!! (it is CHEAP, too!)

the only way to guarantee that animals like this will never hurt anther child is to kill them - period. they have no place in society and can serve no good. these bleeding hearts need to realize that when people like this rape a child they should no long have rights as a human being. they should be regarded as vicious animals and put down like one. if this bast*rd gets out in 12 years and does this again - everyone responsible for his release should be held accountable and tries as if it were them who committed the acts.

It will get to be on the 'recieving end' in jail. Or maybe the inmates will eliminate it from society, if we're lucky.
