Joshua Gurto was sentenced to eight years in prison after accepting a plea deal in Ashtabula County Court on Monday.
It comes after Gurto was originally charged with rape and murder of 13-month-old Sereniti Sutley in 2017. Those charges, however, were reduced to involuntary manslaughter in July at the request of prosecutors.
With the sentence being added to a previous 28-year term he is currently serving after pleading guilty in a separate rape case, he is now set to serve a 36-year prison sentence.
The judge noted that with Gurto set to serve his new term consecutively, the earliest that he will be eligible for parole is in December 2052, when he will be in his 70s.
