Pennsylvania Woman Guilty of Molesting Girl - Updated

(Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania) Former North Belle Vernon councilwoman Heather Prinkey, 37, pleaded guilty last Thursday to molesting a young girl from October 2007 to September 2009.

The victim was 12 years old when the molestation started.
The deal agreed to by the prosecution required Prinkey to admit guilt rather than allow her to plead no contest to the charges, according to Assistant District Attorney Jackie Knupp.

Prinkey pleaded guilty to charges of statutory assault, aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors and indecent assault. The prosecution dropped two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and one charge of corruption of minors.

Under terms of the deal, she will be sentenced to serve two to 10 years in prison, followed by 10 years on probation and a lifetime requirement that she register her whereabouts with the state police.
Formal sentencing awaits completion of a sex offender evaluation, estimated to be three months.
