By JOHN WHITTAKER 3 min read

=A Warren resident's attempt to have his sentence reconsidered has been denied.

Nathaniel W. Stahlman, 19, was charged in January with first-degree felony unlawful contact with a minor – sexual offenses, third-degree felony unlawful contact with a minor – open lewdness and third-degree felony criminal use of a communication facility, pleading guilty in May to first-degree felony unlawful contact with a minor – sexual offenses and third-degree felony criminal use of a communication facility.

Stahlman was sentenced on Aug. 21 by Judge Todd Woodin in the Court of Common Pleas to 22 to 44 months in prison, with credit for 142 days time served, to satisfy the plea to unlawful contact with a minor and 6 to 12 months, as well as one year of probation, to satisfy the guilty plea to criminal use of a communication facility.

The Warren County Public Defender's Office filed a motion in court on Sept. 1 asking Woodin to reconsider the sentence, with the motion denied recently by Woodin.

Also denied recently by Woodin was a motion for early parole filed on behalf of Krystal Bair of Jamestown who has been in the Warren County Prison since June 26, according to online court docket information. Bair's attorney has petitioned Woodin for early parole, with Woodin denying the motion on Oct. 16.
