Gold Hill, OR – A 31 year old Jackson County man has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for raping a 14-year old girl who played on his softball team.  Eric Robert Sell pleaded guilty in October.  He must also register as a sex offender, undergo sexual abuse counseling, submit to DNA and lie detector testing, and have no contact with the victim or unsupervised visits with children.  Sell met the victim while coaching the Gold Valley National League softball team in Gold Hill. Sell blamed personal problems that included a drunken driving arrest in July following the death of a family member. The victims mother urged the court to give Sell “the strongest punishment” allowed by law. - News service reports  1/13/08
