HAMILTON, Ohio â€" An exotic dancer accused of killing a customer by
running him over in her SUV outside his home and dragging him for a mile
was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison.
Kristina Hensley, 35, was given the maximum sentence by Butler County
Common Pleas Judge Keith Spaeth.
Hensley, of Higginsport, pleaded guilty in February to involuntary
manslaughter and failure to stop after an accident in the death last
August of Jae Cho.
The judge called the autopsy photos and report detailing Cho's death
"ghastly" and said the court had no choice in the sentence, given the
circumstances.
He said Hensley didn't just hit Cho, 31, but dragged him to a "horrible
death," the Hamilton JournalNews newspaper reported.
The judge said the pictures were "very hard to look at," the paper
reported.
Hensley told police Cho touched her inappropriately after she was called
to perform a private show at his home in Monroe, about 25 miles north of
Cincinnati.
Jumped in front of car
She said he jumped in front of her SUV as she fled and she didn't know
he was stuck underneath it.
Police said she drove about a mile to a gas station before stopping.
Hensley originally was charged with murder, aggravated robbery, theft
and failure to stop. She pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors.
Assistant prosecutor Brad Burress told The Associated Press that he was
pleased with the sentence and hoped it would bring "closure" to Cho's
family.
Hensley's attorneys had urged the judge to give her community control,
often called probation and involving options such as community service
or electronic monitoring, or to sentence her to the minimum three years
in prison with credit for the 334 days served since her arrest.
'Economic hardship'
They had told the judge in a memorandum that she had been the sole
income provider for her three sons, ages 13, 8 and 7 "opting to work as
a dancer due to economic hardship in an economy that had nothing else to
offer her."
"She would sit in a parking lot waiting for a call to do a show, travel
alone to a show, go alone to a stranger's home to perform and was
expected to collect the money, perform a show and leave without
incident," the memorandum said, according to the JournalNews.
They also said she didn't intend to cause Cho's death and had shown
remorse.
They didn't immediately return telephone calls seeking comment on the
sentencing Thursday.
