Bluffton man pleads guilt to two counts of rape
Jonathon Lamb, 37, Bluffton, plead guilty to two counts of rape on Tuesday June 26, in Hancock County Common Pleas Cour, according to Bluffton police.
The charges stem from a complaint filed with the Bluffton Police Department in May of 2017 in which officers received a report of a possible sexual assault involving a child.
During the investigation, officers learned that the incident(s) happened in February of 2017 and Jonathan Lamb was subsequently arrested and charged with one count of first degree felony rape with a specification due to the age of the child.
During the court proceedings on the 26th, Jonathon Lamb plead guilty to the original charge of rape, and also to a bill of information alleging a second charge of rape.
As part of the plea deal, Mr. Lamb plead guilty to the two counts of rape and the specification was dropped.
Sentencing on this matter will take place in August following a pre-sentence investigation.
