Christopher P. Westfall
A former Sutton schoolteacher imprisoned in Rhode Island last year for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl pleaded guilty today to charges of molesting the same victim in Millbury and possessing child pornography on his computer.
Christopher P. Westfall, 31, formerly of Millbury and Sutton, was sentenced last May to 20 years’ imprisonment, with seven years to be served, after pleading no contest in Providence County Superior Court in Rhode Island to three counts of second-degree child molestation. The charges related to a sexual relationship prosecutors said Mr. Westfall, a former fifth-grade teacher in Sutton, had with a 13-year-old Barrington, R.I., girl between June 2004 and January 2005.
The balance of Mr. Westfall’s prison sentence in Rhode Island was suspended for 13 years with probation.
Today, Mr. Westfall pleaded guilty in Worcester Superior Court to two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child for molesting the 13-year-old on two occasions between July 1, 2004, and Aug. 31, 2004, in Millbury. He also pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography on his computer on March 30, 2005, in Sutton.
As recommended by Assistant District Attorney Joseph J. Reilly III and Mr. Westfall’s lawyer, Gary G. Pelletier, Judge Bruce R. Henry sentenced Mr. Westfall to 10 years’ probation, to run concurrently with the 13 years of probation he will be on in Rhode Island once he is released from prison there.
