An ex-convict hung his head in shame yesterday in a Manhattan courtroom as the sobbing mother of his 9-year-old victim demanded to know how anyone could rape a child.
"I would like to know why he attacked my daughter!" the weeping mom demanded in state Supreme Court, where Ernest Jones was sentenced to 20 years in prison. "I hope he rots in jail."
Jones, 28, drew the prison term as part of a plea deal with prosecutors who wanted to spare the little girl the emotional trauma of testifying in open court.
The mother told Justice Edwin Torres that her daughter had recovered slowly from the attack in which Jones raped her on the rooftop landing of her Harlem high-rise - and threatened to throw her off the roof if she resisted.
"He tried to ruin her life," her mom said. "But she's had help. She's doing fine."

A glowering Harlem drug felon was sentenced to 20 years in prison yesterday for raping a 9-year-old girl in the stairwell of her Malcolm X Boulevard building two years ago.
Craven fiend Ernest Jones, 29, stared angrily down at the defense table his hands cuffed behind him as the girl's mother let him have it, telling a judge, "I hope he'll rot in jail."
"He tried to ruin her life," the mom cried. "But she had help and she's doing OK. He tried to ruin her, but she's doing well."
