In the Adoption of L.B. (Minor Child) M.B. (Father) v. N.W. (Stepfather) (mem. dec.)

82A01-1706-AD-1274

79A02-1706-CR-1307
Criminal. Affirms the six-year sentence with three years executed at the Department of Correction for Matthew Aron Barricks’ conviction of child solicitation as a Level 4 felony. The trial court did not abuse its discretion and his sentence is not inappropriate considering the nature of the offense and Barricks’ character.

Matthew Williams v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
49A04-1703-CR-620

79A04-1704-CR-881
Criminal. Affirms in part, reverses in part and remands with instructions Tracy Konsdorf’s guilty plea to a charge of Level 5 felony sexual misconduct with a minor. Holds the trial court did not err in accepting her guilty plea or denying her motion to withdraw the plea. The trial court did not err in advising Konsdorf of the requirement to register as a sex offender, and the sentence of four years with one year executed at the Department of Correction was not inappropriate. Remanded to the trial court to clarify two of her probation conditions.

The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it failed to find his pretrial detention to be a mitigating factor.
