ATHENS – A former Hocking College police officer and Nelsonville Police officer pled no contest in Athens County Commons Pleas Court Wednesday to one first-degree misdemeanor charge of negligent homicide.
An Athens man faces eight to 12 years in prison for stalking, harassing and posting nude pictures of his ex-girlfriend â some of which were taken while she was a minor.
Patrick Crist, 27, pleaded guilty Friday to eight charges, including extortion, stalking, harassment, nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, according to a press release from the Athens County County Prosecutor s Office.
In a brief statement in court, the victim told Crist that there had been no need for your pointless revenge, according to the release.
The extortion, stalking, harassment and nonconsensual dissemination charges were brought in April. Judge George McCarthy sentenced Crist to three years in prison on those original seven charges, which included three third-degree felonies, two fourth-degree felonies, a first-degree misdemeanor and a third-degree misdemeanor.
