Judge Leete Slaps 10 – 20 Year Sentence on Man who had Sex with Child
COUDERSPORT – John Allen Mix, age 21, of Duke Center, PA, has been sentenced in Potter County court on charges that he had sex with a child.
Potter County Senior Judge John Leete sentenced Mix to 10 – 20 years in prison on one count of first-degree felony Involuntary Deviate Sexual Intercourse with a Child. Mix was also sentenced to a concurrent term of 11 – 60 months in prison for one count of third-degree felony Indecent Assault of Persons Less then 13 Years of Age, and a concurrent term of 18 – 60 months for first-degree misdemeanor Corruption of Minors. In addition, Mix has been ordered to a lifetime of Megan’s Law Registration.
Potter County District Attorney Andy Watson said the charges were brought against Mix after the victim’s mother reported to police that he had inappropriately touched her daughter.
According to Watson, Mix later admitted to police that he had sexual contact with the child on four separate occasions.
Court records indicate Mix was originally scheduled for a trial, but accepted a plea agreement before the trial began.
The case was prosecuted by Potter County District Attorney Andy Watson. Mix was represented originally by Jarrett Smith and later by Brent Petrosky.
