A wealthy Connecticut woman was sentenced Tuesday to one year in jail for secretly recording three people, including a minor, in a manner involving sexual desire.
A wealthy Connecticut woman whose criminal case file was sealed from public view was sentenced Tuesday to one year in jail for secretly recording three people, including a minor, in a manner involving sexual desire.
Blawie previously ruled the privacy of the victims outweighed the public's interest in seeing the case documents, and it was not possible to redact all the documents to sufficiently protect the victims' identities. The AP disagreed, saying documents in many other Connecticut cases involving sex crimes have been redacted in ways to protect the victims.
Under the sentence, which was part of a plea bargain, Palmer also must register as a sex offender for 10 years and will serve 20 years of probation after the jail term. Ferencek also said the victims did not want Palmer to serve more time in jail than she already had. But one of the victims, a female, requested a 30-year criminal protective order barring Palmer from having contact with her, a request approved by Blawie.
Blawie accepted the plea bargain, saying"Make no mistake, the defendant is paying a price for her actions."
