Mesopotamia man gets prison for molesting girl

WARREN — The father of an Amish girl who was sexually assaulted by Norman Mullet, also of the Amish community, asked prosecutors not to send Mullet to jail.

The father also would have asked Judge Andrew Logan of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court for a nonprison penalty, but Judge Logan declined to let him speak during Mullet’s sentencing hearing today.

Instead, Judge Logan imposed a 12-month prison sentence, and Mullet was led away in handcuffs to begin serving his sentence.

Mullet, 35, of state Route 87 in Mesopotamia, pleaded guilty in March to three counts of gross sexual imposition for having sexual contact with a 10-year-old girl from October 2009 to October 2010.

Mullet also will serve five years’ probation and will have to register as a sex offender every six months for 25 years after he leaves prison.
