20 year old O’Brian Jones was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the rape, burglary, and robbery of a Kansas City mother who was also the night manager of a fast food place. Jones plead guilty in May, admitting the crimes.
Jones and another man, suspected to be Jon M. Vaughns (scheduled to go to trial later this month), are accused of walking through a woman’s house after breaking in, repeatedly raping her, and stealing clothing from her kids’ rooms, food from her refrigerator, and an X-Box. After all of this, they drove her to her credit union and forced her to cash her $935 paycheck she earned from her work as a fast food outlet manager. After the rape, Jones and his accomplice poured bleach on their victim to try and eliminate DNA evidence, a technique learned from crime programs.
Assistant Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Baker asked for a 25-year sentence, noting that Jones often held the gun during the assaults, which lasted up to three hours. “This defendant deserves no mercy by this court,” Baker said. “Treat him for what he is, a brutal, brutal rapist."
Defense lawyer Kenton Hall asked for mercy, noting that Jones had no prior conditions for any crimes, with a 12 year sentence recommendation. He said that Jones was abusing drugs at the time.
“Look at O’Brian Jones as an individual who will come back to society some day,” Hall said.
Jackson County Judge Jay Daugherty presided over Jones’ sentencing.
