Medina Sentenced to Three Years

Theresa Medina's sentence for admitted sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy was handed down yesterday. The 37-year-old, will receive three years in a state prison. No timetable has been set for parole but she must comply with Megan's Law rules and register as a convicted sex offender in the area where she lives, under the sentence of Superior Court Judge Samuel D. Natal.

Her husband, Mark, 36, who was the coach of the Atco Lions football team, is serving a five-year term in state prison for an unrelated sexual assault on a young girl.

Medina told Judge Natal she touched the child when he visited her house on dates between August and November 2000.

Medina also told the court that she touched the child for her own sexual gratification, said Assistant Camden County Prosecutor Timothy Chatten.

The maximum sentence for her conviction was 5 years in state prison.
