Newton Falls man sentenced to life in prison for rape of 13-year-old girl

A Newton Falls man convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl will be spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Court employees tell 21 News 56-year-old Terry Weekly was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on three felony counts of rape.
The charges stem from an incident in October of 2024 when deputies with the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office were called to the high school for a report of a 13-year-old girl who was raped.
Weekly was arrested soon after that report was made.
According to a press release from the Trumbull County Prosecutor's Office, Weekly had raped the girl five times with the crimes beginning when she was just 12 years old.
Judge Ronald Rice described Weekly's actions as "deeply disturbing" as well as "incomprehensible and abhorrent."
