Richard Sweitzer, sentenced to 15 years and 10 years probation

Richard Sweitzer, who was arrested on Oct.17, 2012 on one count of capital sexual battery on a victim under 12 years old, accepted a plea bargain Thursday morning, Feb. 7. Schweitzer pled guilty to reduced charges. These charges were three counts of sexual abuse of a minor.
Sweitzer entered his plea during a pre-trial hearing.
Accusations made by Sweitzer’s accusers never altered or wavered. The state attorney agreed to accept the plea bargain in order to avoid a trial and get the sentence they wanted.
Sweitzer was sentenced to 15 years in prison, plus 10 years probation.
