Paul Woolery, 52, was convicted in June of multiple sexual abuse charges and was sentenced last Friday by Lancaster County Judge Jeffrey Wright.
LANCASTER, Pa. — A Lancaster County man will serve up to 55 years in prison following his conviction in June for sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl in 2014, the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
Woolery faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 to 50 years since it was his second-strike offense, according to prosecutors. He had a prior conviction of sexual abuse in the first degree in New York in 2000. Multiple character witnesses spoke on behalf of the defendant, who maintained his innocence, according to prosecutors.
Collo argued that no child should have to endure such abuse, the defendant showed no remorse, and the mandatory minimum sentence was a good starting point.
