Another awful story. A story of a boy who was sexually assaulted from the time he was 5 until he was 15 by his babysitter/relative. The comment that strikes me is when she says "I never encouraged the behavior."
A woman from Luzerne County who admitted sexually abusing a boy learned her fate Friday.
Tracy Vasholz, 34, of Wanamie, pleaded guilty earlier this year to raping and assaulting a child for 10 years. She was sentenced to four to eight years behind bars.
"I never encouraged the behavior. I probably should have gone to the authorities," Vasholz said.
According to police, Vasholz is related to her victim and often babysat him.
From the time he was five years old, police said, Vasholz began to sexually assault him and the assault didn't stop for 10 years. The boy's mother, who is not being identified to protect the victim.
Tracy Vasholz is listed as a sexually violent predator and when she is released from prison, she will be required to register on the Megan's Law registry for the rest of her life. - Read the entire article here
