She was arrested in March 2009 and indicted on sexual assault charged in May 2010.

In Feb 2011, she pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault. The state recommended a four-year prison sentence with parole supervision for life.

There might be some more pictures of her here, but I have no information if they are really her or not.  I'm pretty sure the last one is NOT her.
