Florida trucker released from prison after pleading guilty to lesser corruption of a minor charge
A Florida trucker, originally charged with rape and kidnapping, was sentenced on the lesser charge of corruption of a minor.
Last week, Christopher William Brown, 28, of Sebastian, Florida, pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge last week, and was sentenced to six to 12 months in prison. The more serious counts were dropped by Fayette County prosecutors.
Brown was accused of meeting up with the girl in North Union Township in July 2016 and taking her to Hampton Inn in Uniontown on two occasions. He allegedly had sex with the girl and photographed their encounters.
The Herald-Standard does not identify those who allege they are victims of sexual assault.
In June, Brown withdrew a guilty plea to more serious charges after learning the alleged victim recanted some of her allegations.
On Friday, Judge Joseph M. George sentenced Brown, and gave him credit for time served from Sept. 14, 2016, which made him eligible for immediate parole.
