A Michigan groundskeeper who was accused of raping a teenager and killing her after he was released on bond has been sentenced to at least 20 years in prison for the sexual assault.
Quinn James, 43, of Wyoming has been found guilty for sexually assaulting 15-year-old Mujey Dumbuya during the summer of 2017, but has not been convicted of her murder.
James raped the then 15-year-old in a school parking lot last summer while a groundskeeper for East Kentwood Public Schools, where she was a student.
James declined to address the court before being sentenced Monday to between 20 and 30 years in prison. Jurors convicted him in October of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Mujey's mother, Fatmata Corneh, collapsed and was sobbing outside the courtroom after James was sentenced.
James Quinn was sentenced Monday for raping a 15-year-old Mujey Dumbuya in 2017 at the school where she was a student and he was a groundskeeper. He was released on bond and is accused of killing her in January to prevent her from testifying
Mujey Dumbuya was raped in 2017 by her school's groundskeeper. He allegedly murdered her in January and is awaiting that trial

In January, Mujey's partially clothed and strangled body was found in Kalamazoo, about 50 miles southeast of her Grand Rapids-area home. James was later charged with first-degree murder.
Jurors hearing the sexual assault case were told only that Mujey was dead, not that James is charged in her death.
James was free on a $100,000 cash bond, which is when he allegedly murdered Mujey to prevent her from testifying at his trial.
The teen was on her way to school before she was strangled and her body dumped in woodland.

Mujey was due to testify at James' trial in April, but went missing on January 24 after she failed to catch the school bus.
Her partially clothed body was found four days later in Kalamazoo woods, about 50 miles from where she lived in Grand Rapids, and the cause of death was listed as 'asphyxia, including strangulation'.
He faces life behind bars if convicted.
Kentwood District Judge William Kelly had wide discretion to set the amount of James' bond over the third-degree criminal sexual conduct charge for the attack on the teen.

Authorities picked him up on February 1 on an unrelated 2014 sexual assault charge and the bond in the case was increased to $250,000 after she died.
'When I set the $100,000 bond, Dumbuya was alive,' Judge Kelly said last month.
James is still facing a trial on first-degree murder, kidnapping, and other crimes.
James was employed by East Kentwood Public Schools in 2011 despite an extensive criminal career that included convictions for armed robbery and possession of a weapon as a prisoner.
The school insisted they did not have access his criminal record as a juvenile.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
