2nd sentencing in less than a week in Amish Community

Another member of an Amish community was sentenced to prison for sexually molesting a minor from their community. This was the second time in less than a week.

Judge Andrew Logan of the Trumbull County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas sentenced Daniel Ray Kurtz to two years in prison. Kurtz had pleaded guilty in December to two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor for engaging a 14-year-old boy in oral sex in the summer of 2019 at his rural home in Middlefield, Ohio.

A half-dozen men and women from his Amish community as well as about 10 advocates for victims of child sexual abuse in Amish and related churches observed Tuesday’s sentencing.
They’re showing up for court hearings in silent solidarity with victims.
