Former Radnor Township commissioner sentenced in indecent assault on 103-year-old

RADNOR TWP., Pa. (WTXF) - A former Pennsylvania township official convicted of touching his 103-year-old mother-in-law's breast has been sentenced to 23 months of probation and 60 days of house monitoring.

75-year-old Bill Spingler, a former member of the Radnor Township Board of Commissioners, was found guilty of indecent assault on a person with a mental disability back in June.

Three nursing home employees had reported seeing Spingler touch the woman on three separate visits to her Wayne nursing home in December.

Spingler has said that he touched her to get her attention after she stopped being able to recognize him.
