HTN: Guilty Plea in Prostitution Case

A former State Supreme Court law clerk has avoided jail time by pleading guilty to charges of driving a prostitute across state lines. Prosecutors say that 61-year-old Michael Stebick drove the undocumented alien from Hamburg to Kentucky in a motor home as part of a 2005 excursion for a group known as the Royal Order of Jesters. A federal judge says the woman was put up in a hotel room with a sign reading 70-dollars-per hour. Defense Attorney Joel daniels says his client had been respected in the community.
Stebick was sentenced to four months of house arrest, two years probation, fines and community service.
