Woman Gets 18 Months for Sex with 11-Year-Old Boy

(Hagerstown, Maryland) Washington County Circuit Court Judge Donald E. Beachley sentenced Danielle Nicole Frye, 19, to 18 months in state prison after she pleaded guilty to one charge of second-degree sexual assault. Frye admitted to presenting herself unclothed before the 11-year-old boy and directed him to have sex with her. According to the plea agreement, Frye was sentenced to ten years in prison with all but 18 months suspended.

Frye's boyfriend, Anthony Barger, 19, has also been charged in connection with the sex incident. He faces counts of second-degree sex offense, sexual abuse, third-degree sex offense, and second-degree assault. Barger is scheduled to go to trial on November 10.

An interesting aspect of this case is that Frye apparently told Smithsburg Police Department Chief Michael Potter that she stopped the contact with the 11-year-old boy because it made her feel like a 'child molester'.

Well, DUH!
