Today, 54 year-old Eddy Noelsaint was sentenced to 30 years in prison on four counts of s*xual battery after he was convicted of repeatedly ra**ng a woman who trusted him for spiritual guidance.
This conviction and sentence highlights the Ninth Judicial Circuit’s State Attorney Office's aggressive pursuit of justice in s*x crimes cases.
“Since January, our prosecutors have secured convictions in 70% of the s*x crime cases brought to trial across Orange and Osceola counties,” said State Attorney Monique Worrell. “And since July, that conviction rate has climbed to 83%. Those numbers matter, but I want to be clear, these are not just numbers. Behind every case is a victim whose life has been changed forever. Behind every conviction is a survivor who made the courageous decision to come forward and seek justice, knowing exactly what that would cost them.”
