MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A former board member for the Tennessee Inmate Disciplinary Oversight pleaded guilty to aggravated statutory rape and was sentenced to four years of supervised probation, according to a prosecutor in the case.
Vanessa Murtaugh will also be registered as a sex offender for 14 years, according to District Attorney General Fred Agee, who represents Haywood, Crockett and Gibson counties.
Murtaugh’s other conditions due to her guilty plead include:
- State certified alcohol and drug assessment
- State certified psycho-sexual assessment
- Must maintain employment
- No contact with victim or family
- Must pay the court costs
“In all cases, we try to administer justice fairly, and in this case, we did exactly what the victim’s family asked us to do,” Agee told FOX13. “Miss Murtaugh will be under intense supervision for four years and will be on the sex offender registry for 14 years. The sex offender registry controls where you can live, where you can work, and where you can socialize.”…
