Georgia man sentenced in Etowah Sexual Assault case


Cecil Benefield

A 54 year old Georgia man plead guilty Wednesday to sexually abusing an Etowah County child. Cecil Benefield was charged with sodomy and sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years of age. After Benefield entered his guilty plea wednesday, Judge Bill Rhea sentenced him to 25 years and 20 years respectively. The charges were filed after a relative reported that Benefield had molested her repeatedly between the ages of five and twelve years old. Benefield faces similar charges in at least one other Alabama county.
