Rankin-Madison County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement.
Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Bubba Bramlett announced that
Gino Giovanni Giammarco, 50, of Brandon was sentenced to twenty-five years for sexual battery
involving a minor child.
Giammarco will be required to serve 20 years, day-for-day of his sentence in prison, without the
possibility of parole or early release. He will then be placed on supervised probation for 5 years.
He must register as a sex offender and will have no contact with his victim.
On October 10, 2022, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department received a call from a local hospital
that a juvenile patient was there to be examined. The victim reported being previously sexually
assaulted by the defendant. The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department sent a deputy to the hospital to
gather information and obtain evidence. The victim had a forensic interview at the Parker
Children’s Center, a child-friendly setting where the child can safely tell their story with
professionals trained to interview children in a nonleading manner.
The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department interviewed witnesses, reviewed phone records and text
messages, and interviewed the defendant. Giammarco confessed to committing some of the crimes.
Based on the investigation, the defendant was charged with multiple sex crimes against the same victim during the summer of 2022.
In addition to the charge of sexual battery, Giammarco faced three other charges. On September 25, 2023, the morning of trial, rather than proceeding on all the charges, Giammarco pled guilty to the one count of sexual battery and was sentenced to 25 years for a sex crime involving a minor. “Thank you to the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, the Parker Children’s Center, and the local hospital for reporting and conducting a thorough investigation that led to getting this sex offender off our streets,” stated District Attorney Bramlett. “This is a great example of why mandatory reporting is necessary and helps victims. I am glad our office, with the help of others, was able to provide some justice for this victim.”

It's not enough.
Before everyone gets their trousers in a knot, was the victim a really young child or a 17 year old “minor”. Makes a huge difference.
Castration…without anesthesia might discourage some of these scumbags.
Great job DA Bramlett! Keep these scumbags off our streets.
@4:24 PM You are the one with the knot. She was 15-years at the time and he gave her illegal drugs and alcohol before assaulting her.
Well damn, that explains why I couldn’t get him to answer the phone to work on my irrigation system. He deserves more than 20
4:40 with the win.
The ACLU would cry, "Cruel and unusual punishment" after filing their brief to allow 8 year old boys with delusions to be castrated.
We need mandatory sentencing as well as mandatory reporting for these crimes. Life in prison, no parole, solitary confinement, at a minimum. I'm okay with the death penalty, too, but the Supreme Court would find it extreme and cruel.

Actually, when you work with children in a professional capacity you are a "mandated reporter" which means you are legally obligated to report any form of suspected abuse.
I do not believe people outside of that realm are considered "mandated reporters" but if you work with children you are most definitely.
I am sure Burl Cain and MDOC will let him out in 5 years
