A Virginia man has been sentenced to six years in prison after investigators say he had indecent contact with a child near Solon.
24-year-old Sergey Whitt of Chester, VA had been accused of providing alcohol to a 13-year-old girl near Lake MacBride around 10:30pm on August 5th, 2018. According to arrest records, Whitt also touched the girl in an inappropriate, sexual way in a beach parking lot on Lake MacBride Road. Last November he was arrested and charged with 3rd Degree Sexual Abuse and Supplying Alcohol to a Person Under Age. If convicted on both charges, he would have faced a maximum of 11 years in prison.
Under a plea deal with prosecutors, the original charges were dismissed, and Whitt agreed to plead guilty to three counts of Indecent Contact with a Child. On Wednesday he was sentenced to the maximum of two years on each charge, with the sentences running consecutively.
Whitt will also appear on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry for the next ten years.
