CLEVELAND — Former Cleveland resident Jimmie Jackson, 44, already in prison for rape, was sentenced to the maximum 20 years in prison for breaking into a house and raping an 11-year-old girl.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold sentenced Jackson last month, after he pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary and rape.

He crawled into a bedroom window Nov. 16, 2002, and raped the girl, while holding a knife to her throat and threatening to kill her if she screamed, prosecutor's spokesman Ryan Miday said.

Jackson's DNA was recently matched to the evidence after he was required to give a blood sample in prison. He was sentenced Oct. 23 to seven years in prison for raping another child in 2007.
