A Gainesville man received a 45-year prison sentence after a jury convicted him of raping a 15-year-old boy he met on social media.
According to a Friday press release from the office of State Attorney Brian Kramer, Antron Markell Hutchinson chatted with the victim online before ordering an Uber to bring him to a motel on SW 13th Street.
“Hutchinson subsequently broke the child victims’ phone, trapped him in [the] room and raped him,” the press release said. “The victim suffered significant injuries and underwent surgery.”
When Hutchinson learned a warrant had been issued as part of the investigation, he asked a friend to delete media on his Snapchat, the press release said.
After his 45-year sentence in the Florida Department of Corrections, Hutchinson will have a lifetime of sex offender probation, plus designation as a sexual predator.
Assistant State Attorney Brooke King led the prosecution team in the case.

Thank you, DA’s office. Let’s hope he really lasts full 45 years in there. He has no redeeming values out here.
