A 52-year-old Guernsey County man was sentenced to three consecutive life terms in prison without the chance of parole for 75 years on Wednesday for raping a young girl.
Ronald Wolters, of Buffalo, was found guilty two weeks ago by a jury of three counts of rape and eight counts of gross sexual imposition. He was acquitted on an additional five counts of rape during trial.
During sentencing, Guernsey County Prosecutor Lindsey Angler argued that Wolters be sentenced to life without parole for the years of sexual abuse he inflicted upon the victim.
Wolters defense counsel, Kirk McVay, asked for a more lenient sentence considering his client s age.

David B. Bennett was recently sworn into office for a second term as judge of the Probate and Juvenile divisions of the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court.
“I have enjoyed the last six-years serving the residents of Guernsey County protecting the most vulnerable members of our community, as well as providing equal justice to all litigants before the court,” said Bennett.
“I am particularly proud of the programs we have established for our youth in an effort to keep them from becoming involved in the court system, and I hope to build on that in my next term.”
