PINEVILLE — A Middlesboro woman pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual abuse with a 14-year-old and was sentenced to five years in prison on Monday in Bell County Circuit Court.

25-year-old Ladessia N. Barton, of the Meldrum community, was indicted with sodomy in the third degree, along with the other five counts of sexual abuse, at the beginning of December 2009. Barton pleaded guilty only to the sexual abuse charges.

Arresting Middlesboro Police Dept. Officer Joe Holder said that

the offenses with the 14-year-old were “uncovered through an unrelated investigation.”
