WARREN A Liberty Township man, who earlier this month was found guilty by a Trumbull County jury of raping a 12-year-old girl, was given a 10-years-to-life prison sentence.
Theodore J. Fecko III, 41, of Ray Court, was sentenced by Common Pleas Judge Ronald J. Rice on Tuesday. The sentence is the only one he could get, the judge said, noting he would be eligible for parole after serving 10 years.
Fecko also is declared a Tier 3 sex offender, which means if he is paroled he will have to register his addresses with the sheriff’s office four times per year for the rest of his life.

WARREN A Warren man accused of assaulting a week-old baby girl in August pleaded guilty Tuesday to reduced charges in the felony case.
Andrew J. Jacobs, 27, of 1951 Southern Blvd. NW, Apt. 16, appeared with his attorney Charles Mickens before Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Andrew D. Logan. Jacobs pleaded guilty to two counts of endangering children, while prosecutors dismissed two counts of felonious assault.
Logan will sentence Jacobs after he undergoes a background investigation conducted by the court’s adult probation department. The judge told the defendant he could face an indefinite sentence of between two and 20 years.
