Denver Bronco tackle Gerald Perry was sentenced to 15 days in jail, beginning Feb. 5, and a $610 fine after he was convicted of soliciting a prostitute.

City Attorney Dave Beard argued for a three-month jail term, calling Perry untruthful and questioned the football player’s character.

“I was a little disappointed. I felt the circumstances . . . called for a slightly longer real jail term,” Beard told reporters after the sentencing.

Perry’s lawyer said he had not decided whether to appeal the sentence.

Aurora Municipal Judge Loretta Hoffine suspended 45 days of the 60-day jail sentence if Perry is not arrested on similar charges for a year and continues counseling therapy. She also ordered the Perry to serve 100 hours of community service. The fine includes $110 in court costs.

The maximum sentence for the misdemeanor penalty is 180 days in jail and a $550 fine.

A six-member jury found Perry guilty of soliciting a prostitute stemming from an incident early Sept. 7. He was acquitted of two other charges, and the jury failed to reach a verdict on a third charge.
