Erica Lyn Dillon Sentenced Again - Update

(Norristown, Pennsylvania) Earlier today, 34-year-old Erica Lyn Dillon was sentenced to 17 months in back jail time, to be followed by five years’ probation, after she admitted to violating her previous parole and probation.

Specifically, Dillon, 34, admitted to violating her previous parole and probation by failing to comply with or participate in psychological or psychiatric counseling programs, by admitting to smoking marijuana and by failing to pay court-ordered fines, according to court documents.

“It was the recommendation of probation officials and she accepted the recommendation,” explained defense lawyer Gregory Nester, referring to the sentence. “She expressed to the court how sorry she was that she was in violation. The court explained to her the importance of complying with the treatment conditions of her supervision.”

The criminal justice system has had a difficult time dealing with Dillon, a former Special Olympics participant.

Female Sex Offender Arrested Again
[Previous 4/20/10 post]
(Norristown, Pennsylvania) A 31-year-old woman who was awaiting sentencing for a sex offense committed in February, Erica Dillon, has been arrested for an additional sex offense -- engaging in sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old boy.

Her live-in boyfriend, Antonio Morano, 28, allegedly watched. The boy had come to the house to visit Morano, his former neighbor. Police said Morano showed the boy a pornographic video on a computer.

The second sexual encounter came to light April 15 when the boy's mother went to Dillon's home to confront her about the incident.

Lansdale police responded to a report of a disturbance and began investigating. According to an affidavit of probable cause, officers learned that Dillon had been convicted in February for the 2002 indecent assault on a 5-year-old family member and was out on $50,000 bail.

Since a repeat offense violated the terms of her plea, authorities Friday moved for an increase in bail. They also filed a second set of charges, including indecent assault, corruption of a minor and related offenses in the April 5 incident.

Dillon was booked into custody at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility with bail set at $250,000. Morano was booked on charges of showing indecent material to a minor and corruption of a minor with bail set at $10,000.
