Moreau

A 34-year-old Gansevoort mother accused of paying strippers to perform at her son's 16th birthday party has until Thursday morning to decide whether to accept a guilty plea that would spare her jail time.

Judy H. Viger has been offered a plea deal that requires her to perform 50 hours of community service in return for the promise that child endangerment charges would be dropped if she stays out of trouble for six months.

Viger is scheduled to appear in Moreau Town Court on Thursday morning before Justice Timothy Alden, Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy said.

Murphy said Alden gave Viger until Thursday to consider the plea. If she rejects it, a trial date will be set.

Viger's lawyer, Joseph Brennan, did not return a call seeking comment.

Viger was charged after South Glens Falls police received complaints from parents of teens who attended the party. Viger allegedly hired two women from Tops in Bottoms Entertainment for her son's Nov. 3, 2012, private party at Spare Time Bowling Alley.
