Lancaster County District Court records say 23-year-old Cody Riddle was sentenced Wednesday. He’d pleaded no contest to sexual assault of a child. Prosecutors dismissed kidnapping and burglary charges in exchange for Riddle’s plea.
Police say Riddle went to steal items from the girl’s home in August 2015, entering through an open garage. Police say he found the girl, took her to his garage and bound her, sexually assaulted her and threatened to kill her or her family if she told anyone.
The girl later told her parents, who called police. Riddle was arrested the same day.
