Pennsylvania Mom Gets Prison in Sex Case

(Ebensburg, Pennsylvania) A sobbing, 27-year-old Johnstown mother-of-three, Donna Jean Hoyt, was sentenced by Judge Linda Fleming to one to two years in prison for a sexual relationship she had with a 14-year-old boy who fathered her child.

Hoyt had pleaded guilty last March to statutory sexual assault.

Donna Jean Hoyt, 27, told the judge that the boy had been “hanging around” and that the relationship started in 2007 when she was going through “personal problems.”

Hoyt, who had two other children, said that at the time she had “just lost my house, and my husband left me.”

But Assistant District Attorney Wayne Langerholc said that the Johnstown police, in a probable cause affidavit, alleged that the husband left after he had become suspicious about his wife’s relationship with the youth.

The relationship continued for six months, Langerholc said.

Hoyt was also ordered to pay $1,000 in fines.
