Sex With Teen Lands Ex-Police Chief in Prison
From Times Wire Reports
A former police chief was sentenced to 12 years in prison for having sex with a 14-year-old girl in his patrol car.
David Ausburn, 35, who resigned last year as chief in the Pittsburgh suburb of West Homestead, pleaded guilty to coercion and enticement.
Sentencing guidelines recommended a prison term half as long, but U.S. District Judge Arthur J. Schwab said the 12-year sentence was warranted because Ausburn took advantage of his authority and because of the seriousness of the case.
