MOULTRIE — A Moultrie man convicted in the molestation of an 11-year old girl and a related burglary charge will be sentenced May 3 in the case, Colquitt County documents said.

Superior Court Judge James E. Hardy ordered a pre-sentencing report be prepared for Jasper Leggett Jr. prior to imposing a sentence.

Leggett, 25, also known as Dramourno Jones, was convicted on the counts on Friday.

He was accused of the Sept. 12, 2010, nighttime entry into a residence in the 300 block of Seventh Street Southwest during which he fondled the girl, court documents said.

Over the last three years law enforcement officers have arrested Leggett on charges of possession of cocaine and marijuana, loitering and robbery. In December 2005 he received a five-year sentence on a cocaine sale conviction.
