A Ravenna man arrested last fall for sexually abusing three juvenile females over a more than a dozen years is facing up to 15 years in prison and a Tier III sex offender classification after recently pleading guilty to three felony sexual assault charges. 

Darin K. Few, of 338 Ravenna Ave., pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery and one count of gross sexual imposition in Portage County Common Pleas Judge Laurie Pittman’s courtroom. 

The offenses took place between January 1996 and March 2009, according to Few’s grand jury indictment. 

A sentencing date has not been set, pending a pre-sentence investigation by the Portage County Adult Probation Department. Few will be labeled a Tier III sex offender at sentencing, according to his plea deal, and his attorney from the Portage County Public Defender’s Office will be allowed to argue Few’s sentence. 

Tier III sex offenders are required to register with their county’s sheriff’s office their address, place of employment and enrollment in any educational institution every 90 days for the rest of their lives. Such offenders also may have notice of their residence given to neighbors, schools, and daycare centers within 1,000 feet of their address.

Few has been jailed on $100,000 cash bond since his November 2009 indictment on 14 counts of rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, gross sexual imposition and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Pittman ordered Few’s bond continued until sentencing. 

The remaining 11 counts of Few’s indictment were dismissed by Pittman on a motion by the Portage County Prosecutor’s Office.

It seems that everyday there is another pervert committing a sex crime in this county. It is apparent that the Court system is not able to handle these perverts. Something need to be done. I would prefer to hang them myself, but that would not be political correct. Maybe we should bring back the old fashioned tar and feathers and then ride them out of town on a rail and bar them from every town in the county. That way they would have to go to some other county where maybe their courts would do something about them.

I agree with My thoughts. If this was my child they would not have to wonder what to do with him. He would never bother another child and I will guarantee that.

Aww.. And just think; now he will get a free ride off of all us productive citizens. Three squares and a bed, along with protection from other prisoners, while the minors suffer with the horrible nightmares and memories this man has bestowed upon them. I don't know, I'm thinking the predator will make out on this deal. That should cut his organ off. Now that would be justice. I'm just so sick of hearing about all these men and woman taking advantage of our children. He should be grateful it wasn't one of mine. He'd be dead or castrated or both.
