A Jacksonville man was arrested after DNA testing linked him the alleged rape of a patient at a Jacksonville hospital. The patient, 31, was allegedly raped by Gerall Bernard Smalls after he told her to go to her room so vitals can be checked. Sexual battery can be punishable by up to life without parole, but without use of force and a victim over 18, is usually prosecuted as a 2nd degree felony, punishable by 15 years.
A second story featured a man wanted in an attack on a 62 year old Nassau County woman. DNA evidence linked Steven Lathell Jones, 41, to an attack back in January. Jones was arrested
and charged Tuesday with resisting arrest for attacking a police dog when the Jacksonville police arrested him.
Note - a 3rd story features a woman with a 16 year old boy, but this blog is intended to be about victims over 18.
