CLEARFIELD – A man having sexual relations with a 15-year-old, a nurse stealing drugs from a nursing home, a man living in filth with his family including four children, and a woman who bit a police officer were among those sentenced by Judge Paul E. Cherry during plea and sentencing court Tuesday.

He was given nine months to two years in the county jail with four years additional probation.
He must complete counseling and register with police under Megan’s Law.
According to this affidavit, Prigg met the girl at the Curwensville Lake on June 24. He then sent messages to her including a naked photo of himself. The next day, they met again at the Lake where he touched her inappropriately before he had her perform a sex act on him.
