Woman Gets No Jail on Reduced Charges

(Provo, Utah) In 2002, Amber Childs was charged with aggravated sex abuse of a child, sodomy on a child, and tampering with a witness or juror in connection with alleged sex crimes against a 5-year-old boy. After significant delays for mental competency reviews and changing attorneys, Childs' case went before the 4th District Court in October and, in accordance with a plea deal, she pleaded no contest to three misdemeanors.

On Monday last week, 30-year-old Childs was sentenced to no jail. Childs' sentence was contingent on her promising to be good and not do drugs.

Heh.
