Penn professor gets jail time
University of Pennsylvania brain trauma expert Tracy McIntosh will begin serving an approximate 30-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting a Penn graduate student in 2002, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Prior to the ruling, McIntosh had begun a hearing with an unsuccessful attempt to withdraw his no-contest plea to the crime, reported The Inquirer.
McIntosh, who was led away by court officers, made a brief statement saying ""I accept responsibility for my shameful behavior here and the incalculable pain I've put you through," McIntosh said, turning to face the victim in the audience. "I violated your trust," he said.
McIntosh was first sentenced in 2004 to house arrest. That ruling prompted an appeal from Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham. Abraham's motion caused the Superior Court to order a resentencing, The Inquirer report said.
