(KNZA)--A 19-year-old Hiawatha woman, convicted on multiple sex-related charges involving a 14-year-old child, has been placed on probation.
Austyn Koch was sentenced this week in Brown County District Court on five counts—including two counts of indecent liberties with a child, one count of criminal sodomy, one count of sexual exploitation of a child and a misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana.
Koch was given a suspended 64-month prison sentence and placed on 36-months supervised probation.
She pleaded no contest to the charges last month as part of a plea agreement.
Koch was arrested in December following an extension investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department, which included search warrants being executed on digital devices, a residence in Hiawatha and Snapchat.
