Remember the story of the wife of a former Cincinnati Bengal Tom Dinkel, who allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old friend of her son's? Apparently a plea deal has been reached for Jeni Dinkel. Here's more from WLWT:
Jeni Dinkel, the wife of a former Cincinnati Bengal Tom Dinkel, entered a not guilty plea Tuesday in court to third-degree rape charges.
Her attorney said Dinkel’s plea is likely to change Thursday, when she is scheduled to face a judge again.
Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders said the 15-year-old victim’s family has expressed support for a plea deal.
Sanders said the case has been a difficult one to prosecute because of what he saw as a double standard.
"The fact that some people don't think this is a crime because the victim is a male and the defendant is a female, (and) I obviously disagree with that view of the cases,” Sanders said.
Dinkel, whose husband accompanied her to court, faces up to five years in prison.
