NORTHAMPTON A 26-year-old Amherst man was ordered to serve two years in the Hampshire County House of Correction and register as a sex offender after he admitted in court Monday to exposing himself to two women in Amherst in September. Olandzo Smith, a Boston native who spent most of his life in the Amherst area, pleaded guilty in Hampshire Superior Court to two counts of open and gross lewdness, a felony, as part of a plea agreement.
Assistant Northwestern District Attorney Christine Tetreault said in court Monday that because this is a subsequent conviction on an open and lewdness charge, Smith will have to register as a sex offender when he is released from jail.
