Woman's Hand Slapped for Sex with Boy

(Wenatchee, Washington) In March 2010, a 22-year-old local woman, Bridget D. Scharpp, was charged with rape of a child stemming from a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy.

The boy told his mother that he had sex with Scharpp four times between July and September 2009. The mother called the police.

At the time, a probable cause affidavit stated that Scharpp was pregnant and the boy was the father.

Last week, Scharpp pleaded guilty in Chelan County Superior Court to a reduced charge of fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation. As a result, Scharpp was sentenced to 90 days electronic home monitoring and 30 days jail with work release privileges. She was also ordered to pay fines and fees of $550.

It's not known why the charges were reduced nor what happened to the pregnancy.
