Amish brothers headed to prison after probation violation
Two Amish brothers who were convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl are headed to prison for 15 years for violating their probation.
A small group of anti-sex abuse demonstrators picketed Thursday at the hearing in which a Webster County judge revoked the probation for Aaron Schwartz and Petie Schwartz, of Seymour.
The brothers had been put on probation with no prison time, so long as they had no contact with the underage victim in the case.
However, that all changed after a probation officer reported the brothers had contact with the girl at the center of the case.
