Anna Ackerman, Pennsylvania

A Anna Ackerman, 45-year-old woman from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to 4 to 10 years in state prison for performing sex acts on the 15-year-old boy during a party she hosted at her home in Mount Joy three years ago.

Ackerman pleaded no contest Wednesday to charges that she sexually assaulted a “severely intoxicated” boy at her home. She already had pleaded guilty once last year, but changed her mind and withdrew the pleading. She was scheduled for trial last week but she arranged a last-minute plea deal.

The victim and his parents watched as Ackerman was handcuffed and taken to prison. They were in agreement with the plea deal, according to testimony.
Ackerman wept and spoke softly while answering questions during the hearing. She declined to provide an explanation for her actions when asked by Lancaster County President Judge Joseph Madenspacher. She pleaded no contest to two felony sex crimes and a misdemeanor. (A defendant who pleads no contest denies guilt but admits the facts on which the charges were based).

Ackerman hosted a party for her teenage daughter and the daughter’s friends, male and female, at her home on South Barbara Street. Teens between the ages 15 and 18 were drinking at the party. The victim, who was 15-year-old at the time, became “severely intoxicated” and, at some point, was taken to a a shower. When he got out of the shower, Ackerman dried him off and helped him into her bed. After getting boy to bed Mrs. Ackerman performed oral sex on him and had sex with him three times during the night. Some of the other teens saw sex acts performed by the older woman on the younger male, and one recorded some of the crimes with a cellphone camera, according to investigators.

Sauto, a married mother of two, told investigators that she was in love the North Ridgeville, Ohio boy whom she’d met at her own tap dancing class. Sauto claimed that she had kissed the victim and communicated with him on a regular basis, but that she never performed sex acts on boy or had sexual intercourse with him. The victim testified otherwise. telling investigators The two had sex several times. Presiding Judge Judy Howell said that Sauto “continued to have sexual fantasies about the victim” and admitted to “pleasuring herself” during the fantasies as late as Feb. 10 after she was reported to cops. Sauto was turned in by her husband who found condoms in his wife’s dance bag, and text messages between her and the victim, who he knew was a student in Sauto’s tap dancing class.

Sauto, who has two young sons, wept in court as she was sentenced having been found guilty of one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

The victim and his family were not in court for Sauto’s sentencing but in a letter read by Victim Services worker Maureen Vos, the boy’s mother asked the judge to impose the harshest sentence provided by law.
Under Ohio sentencing law, the maximum penalty for Sauto’s third-degree felony conviction is five years. Summit County Assistant Prosecutor Aaron Howell asked Common Pleas Judge Judy Hunter for a four-year sentence, noting that Sauto gave alcohol to the boy in the time leading up to the offense. Sauto was only sentenced to one year as she was a first-time offender with no previous run-ins with the law.

According to the boy, Szmuc hid with him, touched him inappropriately and kissed him on the lips. Later she asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend, according to the arrest report. Szmuc also told the boy he had to ‘fight for her and try to get her back’ if she tried to leave him, the report shows. Two weeks after their first encounter in dark room, the 44-year-old Szmuc sent 13-year-old boy a message inviting him to her home, where she performed sex acts on boy before she ‘began having sexual intercourse with him’, the report states.
A similar incident happened a second time in the same apartment, the report shows. The boy said he later told Szmuc he was tired of her demands and wanted to stop the relationship.

After her prison term Szmuc will serve 10 years of sex offender probation. She was ordered to have no contact “whatsoever” with the victim.

This was not the only case where Lori Szmuc has faced similar allegations of inappropriate behaviour before.

On this occasion, the victim said Szmuc touched him with a flat hand on his stomach and groin area during a sleepover at her home.

She was not charged as there was no evidence to prove it.

In another allegation, detectives said Szmuc brought a teenager to a motel and bought him a cell phone to communicate with her.

She was never charged because detectives said they couldn’t prove that anything criminal occurred between the two and the teenage victim changed his story several times.
