Man sentenced for illegal sexual conduct

A Covington man convicted of having illegal sexual activity with a 15-year-old in January and February was sentenced Monday in Miami County Common Pleas Court to 18 months in prison.

Judge Jeannine Pratt said Michael W. Workman, 24, had no prior record but was going to prison because of the girl's age, his repeated violations of the girl and the severe psychological impact of that conduct on the victim.

Workman said he "completely regretted" decisions he made and was working to make himself better.

He pleaded guilty in November to three felony counts of illegal sexual conduct with a minor in incidents in Piqua and Covington.

Workman was classified as a Tier II sex offender, which will require him to register his address with the sheriff's office for 25 years after prison release.
