Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

State of Maine v. Bethany Ringuette

December 20, 2022288 A.3d 393

Summary

The court held that an accomplice convicted of gross sexual assault against a child under twelve is subject to the same statutory twenty-year minimum basic sentence as a principal. It affirmed the term of imprisonment because the sentencing court correctly applied the statutory mandate, but remanded for findings supporting the length and conditions of supervised release. No separate opinions were filed.
