Six years in prison was ordered Dec. 7 for a Piqua man convicted of complicity to kidnapping and complicity to rape of a developmentally disabled woman in June 2014.

 

Patrick Anthony, 57, was one of two men indicted in the incident involving the woman in her early 30s.

 

Police said the mother reported her daughter was picked up at her Tipp City home in June 2014, and returned the following morning. The behavior was not normal for her daughter, the mother told police. The daughter told police she was tied to a bed, handcuffed and raped while her legs were held.

 

Anthony made no comment before sentencing. He also was convicted of complicity to intimidation of a witness.

 

County Prosecutor Tony Kendell said he talked with the victim and her family who agreed the recommended six-year sentence "is just, under the circumstances."

 

Judge Christopher Gee ordered the six-year term in Miami County Common Pleas Court. He gave Anthony credit for 236 days served in jail and classified him a Tier III sex offender. That will require him to register his address with the sheriff in the county where he lives every 90 days for the rest of his life.

 

Harry Reedy, 59, also of Piqua, was sentenced in October to eight years in prison on charges of rape and gross sexual imposition.

 

Also charged initially in the case was Trishica Leighly, 38, of Piqua. She was not indicted in the 2014 incident but later was indicted and convicted of intimidation of a witness involving two witnesses in the case. She was sentenced to one year in prison.
