WHITE CO., Ill.—A teen child sex offender has received a short probation stint after, witnesses say, her family members lied about her whereabouts today in court.
Tyler Nicole Tracy (TNT) Wolf, 20, who was convicted of molesting family members she was babysitting—including an infant—in 2009, was sentenced today on the most recent count charged against her, Failure to Report Annually as a Sex Offender. However, the sentence wasn’t what families of the victims expected: Wolf was only sentenced to 15 months probation, a meaningless sentence akin to the one she was served after she was convicted in a bench trial in 2009: five years probation, during which time she was not supposed to be around anyone under the age of 17. Naturally, the first thing she did was begin cavorting with young teens her age (and some younger), all of this chronicled on her many MySpace pages….but no judge violated her probation.
Now, with the obvious misdirection supplied to the court today, Wolf is allowed to be doing whatever she wants…because, even after getting pregnant, getting married, setting up a residence in Mt. Vernon, Ind., and of course, again chronicling all of it on her various social networking pages, members of her family stepped up and fudged reality a bit, and the judge believed it.
Her mother, Tammy Wolf (the misshapen person on the right in the photo), and an aunt took the stand and basically refuted what her grandmother—with whom Wolf is supposed to be living, in rural Carmi—had called authorities and stated several months back: that Wolf had taken up with a guy in Mt. Vernon named Gomez and was running around with him, NOT living with her as she was supposed to. With the help of the less-than-honest family members, the judge was swayed to issue the minimal sentence.
Apparently, he was not made aware of her recent shoplifting charges in Posey County, Indiana, across the river either. That case, dating back to mid-September of this year, is still open.
We’ll have the update if the Posey County case comes to light in White, and what, if anything, is done with it.
