Investigators say Chisholm repeatedly sexually assaulted a child he knew in Vernon during 2003 and 2004.
Despite the maximum sentence being up to five years in jail, Chisholm was sentenced to just 30 days. He will also be on probation for six years.

Former Vermont trooper charged with sexually assaulting child
A former Vermont trooper has been charged with repeatedly sexually assaulting a child.
Todd Chisholm, 59, was originally charged with repeatedly sexually assaulting a child under the age of 16 in the Windham County town of Vernon some two decades ago, just after he left the police job he held for 13 years.
But under an agreement accepted in Windham Superior Court on Wednesday, Chisholm pleaded guilty to the lesser charge and received a sentence — four to five years in jail, with all but 30 days suspended — that was much shorter than the potential maximum of life imprisonment if convicted on the original counts.

I'm glad that he'll be on probation for 6 years, but 30 days jail is not nearly enough for such a heinous crime, especially by a police officer, IMO.
