Military veteran, 44, who impregnated his 14-year-old stepdaughter then faked his own death to avoid child rape charges is sentenced to 85 years in prison: Planted gun and suicide note on a boat before being found alive in RV park two years later
military veteran accused of staging his suicide to avoid criminal charges for raping his 14-year-old stepdaughter, who later became pregnant, has been sentenced to 85 years in prison.
Jacob Blair Scott, 45, was found guilty on nine counts of sexual battery, four counts of touching a child for lustful purposes and one count of child exploitation on Thursday.
Scott showed little emotion when the verdict was read in the Jackson County Circuit Court located in Pascagoula, Mississippi, for the heinous crime, The Sun Herald reported.
The convicted-rapist was supposed to turn himself in to face charges of assaulting the teen, but faked his death in July 2018.
Investigators found Scott's small boat off the coast of Orange Beach, Alabama, They also found a gun and a suicide note but little forensic evidence confirming that a suicide occurred.
For more than a week, the authorities searched for a body in the Gulf of Mexico, but nothing surfaced, US Marshal's said.
