Rankin-Madison County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement.
Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Bubba Bramlett announced that Don Edd Woods, 51, pled guilty to Statutory Rape. Woods was sentenced to thirty (30) years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections for the sexual abuse of a 14-year-old girl. He will serve fifteen (15) years of this sentence without the possibility of early release or parole. Upon his release, Woods will be under the supervision of the Mississippi Department of Corrections for an additional five (5) years and will be required to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life.
The case originated on November 26, 2023, when two concerned adults reported to the Rankin County Sheriff's Department that a child had disclosed to them that Woods had been sexually abusing her. The abuse began in 2022, but the child was too afraid to report it initially. Following the report, the Rankin County Sheriff's Department launched a comprehensive investigation, which included a forensic interview conducted by the Mississippi Children's Advocacy Center. This forensic interview process allows trained specialists to gather critical information from child victims in a manner that minimizes additional trauma. During the interview, the child disclosed the details of the abuse. “We are committed to protecting children in our community and holding perpetrators accountable,” stated District Attorney Bramlett. “We are grateful for the brave individuals who provided a safe space for this child to share her experience and for the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, which works tirelessly to guard our children from sexual predators.”

If I'm 51 and facing 15-30 years in prison, I'm going to hit the self checkout lane.
Yeah, but too self-centered in the first place to consider that.
@12:41 if you sexually abused a child to get your prison sentence, I think you should self check also (save us the money taking care of your sorry ass for 15 years).
This is the second sentencing I’ve seen where it has been cut in half. Why are the doing the criminals a favor? Stop it.
@2:23 PM - The 15-years is leverage to keep them in line. If they violate their parole they are facing 15 more years in prison.
Sick "BASTARD" Hope he will finds him a sugar daddy in prison!!!
15 years for sexually assaulting a 14 year old yet 5 of the 6 good squad members got 17.5+ make it make sense!
Maybe he will pick a fight with someone with nothing to lose and experience a shank.
