A Provo, UT man was sentenced to up to 5 years in prison for having sex with a woman with spina bifida who had the "understanding of a teenager," according to court documents.
A charge of first-degree felony rape was dismissed against Jessie Ervin Dodds as part of a plea deal, and the charge of attempted forcible sexual abuse was reduced from a second-degree to a third-degree felony. Dodds, 30, admitted after his June 1 arrest to having sexual intercourse with a woman who he said ''may not have been able to understand what was happening,'' according to a police affidavit.
Dodds, a longtime family friend, raped the woman May 30. He was on probation for 3rd degree felony forgery and theft, but the new charges will be served concurrently, not consecutively with the 0 to 5 year sentences for the other convictions reinstated due to the probation violation.
