Evaluation Ordered For Sex Offender

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Thirty-one year old Melissa Sigman of Charleston was scheduled for sentencing Thursday after being convicted of having sex with an eleven year old boy in October 2010. The judge granted her request for a sex offender evaluation before being sentenced. The evaluation at Lakin prison is expected to take 60 days and will determine if she is likely to be a repeat offender. Sigman faces a possible five to 25 year prison term, but a favorable evaluation could make her eligible for a lesser sentence or alternative sentence and help the judge determine how much time she will spend on supervised release.
