A man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty in Abbeville to having sex and impregnating a then nine-year-old girl. Twenty-six-year-old William Edward Ronca was arrested last year after doctors discovered the girl was at least seven months pregnant.
Ronca pleaded guilty yesterday. He will have to serve more than 21 years before he is eligible for parole. The judge gave him five years less than the maximum because he admitted to the crime and apologized to the girl's family. Arrest warrants state Ronca had been having sex with the girl for about a year and told her not to tell anyone. The girl had the baby, which was put up for adoption.
