Raynham Man Gets Maximum Sentence for Child Molestation Charges

RAYNHAM, MA — A Raynham man received the maximum sentence after being found guilty of molesting his girlfriend's 6-year-old daughter.

Damion Paxton, 39, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and five years of GPS-monitored probation, according to ABC Providence. He was convicted of indecent assault and battery of a child under fourteen, enticing a child under sixteen, and assault and battery.

Paxton, who lived with his girlfriend and her daughter for two months, coaxed the girl into his room by telling her she could play video games. While she played and sat on his lap, he would inappropriately touch her, only stopping when her mother or sister was nearby, the Enterprise reported.

“This defendant took advantage of his temporary living arrangement to abuse an innocent six-year-old girl. His conduct is despicable and I am pleased Judge Brennan imposed the maximum sentence for this career criminal,” District Attorney Thomas Quinn said.
