Rapist of girl, 7, given 33 years

A shaken Clark County judge sentenced Jerry Wayne Stallings to more than 33 years in prison Thursday for raping a 7-year-old girl and recording the attack on videotape. "It's important you give up a significant portion of your life just like the child has given up a significant portion of her life," Clark County Superior Court Judge Robert Harris said in sentencing Stallings. The term was beyond the 25 years expected by prosecutors. Stallings, 42, pleaded guilty last month to two counts of first-degree rape of a child and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor. His wife, Kristina Stallings, pleaded guilty Tuesday to possessing and distributing child pornography. She reportedly gave the tape to a friend. Her sentencing is set for Sept. 29. Harris reviewed the tape in preparation for the trial and said he won't forget the sight or the sounds.
