Former Rochester Police officer gets 10 weekends in jail for rape of 13-year-old
Shawn Jordan was sentenced Wednesday to 10 weekends in jail and 10 years probation. He pleaded guilty to raping the teen in 2022 in South Bristol.The mother of the now 15-year-old girl begged Ontario County Judge Kristina Karle to send her daughter’s rapist to prison, but the judge accepted the plea agreement.
“I’m not entirely satisfied with the sentence … but ultimately as a prosecutor I have to weigh things like the impact of actually having to testify on the victim of this crime, And she’s a child, and she was going to have to face her accuser in the courtroom. And when I was given the opportunity to consider whether or not we’d take a guilty plea – absolutely, all day, in a circumstance like this,” said Ontario County Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford.
Wolford said accepting the terms of the plea agreement was not easy, but it came down to “the impact of actually having to testify on the victim of this crime.”
This case is separate from one he’s facing in Monroe County. He was arrested in March 2023, accused of exposing himself to a minor and acting in a lewd manner over a video chat. He was suspended from the force without pay and later resigned. A spokesperson from the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office says a court date has not yet been set.
