ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - A man who gave directions like a coach during the gang rape of a nearly comatose woman in Olney has been sentenced to 18 months in jail.
The Washington Post reports (https://wapo.st/2cQd7DKRE ) that Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge’s Sharon Burrell’s sentence for 23-year-old Cecil Burrows effectively adds up to three years and two months. That’s because Burrows had been in jail for 617 days since his arrest and agreed to forgo being credited for that time at sentencing.
Burrows recorded the rape and called out instructions during the 2012 crime.
