Municipal Court Judge Robert Moore suspended the jail sentence, but ordered Trent to have no contact with the victim or her family for two years. Moore also placed Trent on unsupervised probation for two years and fined him $150 plus court costs.
Trent, 80, resigned Sept. 25. He was charged Sept. 18 with sexual imposition and disorderly conduct after an incident in his neighborhood. The two misdemeanor charges were filed by a Kettering woman who told police Trent held her in an embrace, tried to kiss her and grabbed her buttocks.
A pre-trial hearing had been scheduled for Oct. 28.
On Oct. 10, the school board picked Jennifer Kane to replace Trent and complete his unexpired term. That term continues through 2015.
Kane, a chairwoman of the Citizens for Kettering City Schools levy campaign, brings 11 years of banking experience to the board, having been an assistant vice president with Provident Bank in Cincinnati and a retail banking senior managing officer with Bank One in Dayton, according to the school district.
