A judge has sentenced a man to 14 years in prison for the rape of a teenager in 2010.

The Telegraph of Macon (http://bit.ly/wU9v2L ) reports that Superior Court Judge Edward D. Lukemire sentenced 27-year-old Jermaine Donte Tucker of Waer Robins, Ga., on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl.

District attoey John E. Fowler says Tucker was also sentenced to six years probation upon release from prison, a $5,000 fine with court fees and banishment from Houston County and its contiguous counties.

Fowler says the jury found Tucker not guilty of aggravated child molestation and child molestation following the two-day trial.

A district attoey's statement said Tucker had sex with the teenager while her mother was at work. Tucker and the girl initially corresponded through Facebook.
