The accusation is chilling, but the plea deal copped by the accused child rapist appears to be disproportionately favorable.

As the Times Leader reports, Jermie Wolfe, 29, of Plymouth, Pa., was accused of tying down and raping or sexually assaulting a child repeatedly over a two-year period. The attacks began when the girl was 8.

Yet, the plea he copped in Luzerne County Court last week saw charges of rape by forcible compulsion, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child and statutory sexual assault all dropped by prosecutors under the deal.

Instead, Wolfe pleaded guilty Thursday to one felony count of corruption of minors and a misdemeanor count of indecent assault by forcible compulsion. Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Vough accepted the plea.

Details from the Times Leader:

Wolfe was arrested in October 2017 on allegations he repeatedly raped a young girl over a two-year period at the Hilltop Apartments in Edwardsville.

The rapes and sexual assaults occurred between January 2011 and January 2013, when the girl was between 8 and 10. She is now in her teens.

Police say the girl told them Wolfe would tie her down with electrical cords and stuff a sock in her mouth, raping her when her mother left the apartment to go to work or shopping.

Court records show Wolfe would tell her “she was a good girl for letting him do what he wanted to do.” He also complimented the girl, telling her she looked like Hannah Montana, records say.

Wolfe’s arrest came after the girl made abuse claims at the Luzerne County Child’s Advocacy Center in 2017. Wolfe was arrested less than two weeks after her claims.

As for what kind of time Wolfe will do under the plea, that question will not be answered until his April 23 sentencing.

Meanwhile, Wolfe is back in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, where he will await his fate.
