Gold Hill, OR - A 31-year-old Jackson County man has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for raping a 14-year-old girl who played on his softball team.
Eric Robert Sell pleaded guilty in October to third-degree rape -- a felony defined under Oregon law as sexual contact with a person who is too young to give consent. He also must register as a sex offender, undergo sex abuse counseling, submit to DNA and lie detector testing, and have no contact with the victim or unsupervised visits with children.
Sell met the victim while coaching the Gold Valley National Little League softball team in Gold Hill.
Sell blamed personal problems that included a drunken driving arrest in July following the death of a family member.
The victim's mother urged the court to give Sell "the strongest punishment" allowed under the law.
