Salem man gets jail for sex with minor girl

LISBON -- Judge C. Ashley Pike of Columbiana County Common Pleas Court sentenced a Salem man Friday to 180 days in jail for having sex with an underage girl.
John M. Hudson, 20, of East Fifth Street, had been found guilty of contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a minor, a first-degree misdemeanor.
He had been indicted for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a fourth-degree felony, for having intercourse with the girl, now 15, at a house in Salem on Jan. 29, 2005.
The victim and her family agreed to the reduced charge, which spared the girl from having to testify.
