MySpace attacker sentenced to prison

DAYTON — A woman accused of sexually assaulting another woman she met through the MySpace social networking website was sentenced Thursday, Feb. 11, to 12 months in prison.

Markita L. Harper pleaded guilty to the charge on Jan. 21 before Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge A.J. Wagner. Four other charges, including kidnapping, attempted gross sexual imposition and two counts of unlawful restraint, were dismissed.

Wagner also sentenced Harper to five years post-release control and designated her a first-tier sex offender.

Harper has been in the Montgomery County Jail since her Dec. 18 arrest.
