COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – A 27-year-old woman has been given two years of probation after taking a plea deal in an Iowa sex-with-a-teen case. Court records say Jessica Pritchard was sentenced Monday in Pottawattamie County District Court. She’d pleaded guilty to enticement of a minor and dissemination of obscene material to a minor. Prosecutors had lowered the charges in return for her pleas.

The Daily Nonpareil also reports that Pritchard was given a deferred judgment, which means her two convictions will be removed from her record if she successfully completes probation. She must register for 10 years as a sex offender. Authorities say Pritchard now lives across the Missouri River in suburban Omaha, Nebraska. She was arrested in July in Alliance, Nebraska.
