WARREN

Donald J. Crites, 25, of Sheridan Avenue, Niles, has been sentenced to 10 years to life in prison for raping a 12-year-old girl seven times between September and December 2009.

Jury selection began Monday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court for a trial on the charges, but Crites decided Tuesday to plead guilty to all seven counts of rape.

His sentence was handed down by Judge Peter Kontos, who was presiding over the trial.
