Will County Judge Dan Rozak sentenced Larry Southwood, 69, of Wilmington to the maximum 104 years in prison Oct. 24 for sexually assaulting a disabled teenager whom he was hired to watch while her mother was at work or running errands. A jury found him guilty of the crimes in August.
The victim's mother, Kimberly A. Riordan, 32, of 349 N. First St., Wilmington, was arrested in January. She is charged with neglect of a disabled person, obstructing justice and concealing a fugitive.
Riordan allegedly accepted a $10,000 payment from Southwood. He allegedly paid her to keep quiet about the sexual abuse, police said.
Her trial is postponed until February.
