ERIE COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) - A convicted sex offender found guilty of kidnapping, importuning, gross sexual imposition and unlawful restraint for touching an 11-year-old girl was sentenced Thursday to 39 years in prison.
A jury found Darius Knight guilty in April.
Knight touched the girl when she showed up at his Barker Street home in August 2019 collecting money for charity.
Knight was released from prison in the summer of 2018 after being convicted of attempted rape.
