Lunsford's son sentenced in fondling case
By TIMES STAFF
Published July 18, 2007
An Ohio judge has ordered Mark Lunsford's son to undergo a sexual offender assessment, part of his sentence for fondling a 14-year-old Ohio girl. Joshua Lunsford was 18 when police accused him of twice fondling the girl. A police report listed them as romantically involved. The girl's mother told police she had told Lunsford several times to stay away from her daughter and threatened to press charges if he didn't. He was initially charged with sexual conduct with a minor, a fourth-degree felony, court records show. The charge was reduced to unlawful sexual conduct, a first-degree misdemeanor, as part of a plea agreement. Municipal Judge Thomas Trempe sentenced Lunsford to 10 days in jail and a year of probation in addition to a sex offender assessment. It's unclear from court records what is involved in that assessment. Mark Lunsford is the father of slain Citrus County girl Jessica Lunsford.
