Teen Gets 10 Years For Violent Attack During Molino Burglary
February 10, 2014
A 16-year old teen accused of a violent attack against a woman during a Molino residential burglary has been sentenced to decade in prison.
Judge Linda Nobles sentenced Aquanis Javon Brown of Richardson Road to 10 years in state prison, with credit for nearly a year served in the county jail. He was tried as an adult for burglary of a dwelling with assault or battery and aggravated battery using a deadly weapon.
As a juvenile, he was also charged with battery by strangulation and attempted sexual assault with a weapon at the time of his October 2012 arrest.
The 54-year old victim told the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that she returned alone to her home were she found Brown, then just 15-years old, standing in a bedroom wearing gloves. Brown physically attacked her, punching her in the face and body with his fists, according to an arrest report, before attempting to remove the victim’s pants. He then began to strangle the victim to the point she told deputies she believed she was going to die. She fought back, clawing at Brown’s face.
Brown grabbed a pair of scissors, the report states, and began stabbing at the victim, stabbing her in the hand. Brown continued to attempt to remove the victim’s pants before walking out and going through things in other rooms of the home. She then closed the bedroom door, barricaded it with furniture and waited for deputies to arrive.
Deputies found the victim with several injuries. She told them that she was absolutely certain that Brown was her attacker; she said she has known him all of his life. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
Sheriff’s deputies located Brown suffering from multiple fresh lacerations to his face and neck. He told deputies that he had cut himself shaving. He was arrested and delivered to the Department of Youth Services.
According to court documents, Brown is accused of stealing needles, medications, baking powder and other household items from the victim’s home.

Ab. Whats Zimmerman have to do with this,he was acquitted,because Martin attacked him.if the lady killed this punk,your thinking is she should be charged with murder!
David Huie Green,
The probability of repeating questionable actions will most likely recur without rehabilitation.
This young man is wrong for his actions and in my opinion, should be thankful he’s ONLY losing 10 years of his life for this atrocity.
You can’t fix someone like this, but God can. We should pray for him.
ab,
You don’t get any jail time when you are acquitted
So attempted rape and murder = 10 years in prison? It should have been 50 years, what the law allows is a bunch of crap… Thanks for nothing judge
This guy should have been sentenced to 50 years atleast. He should have received 25 years for the attempted sexual assault 25 years for for the robbery of an occupied dwelling. They shoukd run consecutively
As everyone says, he will probably be back at the habit once he gets out..I mean look at Zimmerman, he didn’t get any time for murder and was out in public *(threatening pregnant girlfriend with his gun) acting a fool less than six months after being found not guilty.
Go figure. That’s what criminals do.
Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!
why is this not attempted murder? only 10 years for this level of crime come on!
CONSIDERING:
“He will be on NorthEscambia again when they turn him loose again in about 7 year when he is released for “good behavior.” ”
And people will declare how unjust it is that other citizens have access to the knowledge of what he has done, declaring it is the only thing keeping him back from becoming a productive, wealthy, TRUSTWORTHY member of society and that his records should be sealed and he should be given preferential treatment in finding a job.
David for better people
He will only learn worse habits in jail. I have to agree with JT.
Not nearly enough time for an attack like that. You CAN NOT rehabilitate someone that commits acts like that. He will be on NorthEscambia again when they turn him loose again in about 7 year when he is released for “good behavior.”
