WOODLAND (CBS13/AP)
Brett Pedroia, the older brother of Boston Red Sox star Dustin Pedroia ,
has been sentenced to one year in county jail and eight years of probation for having oral sex with a minor.
The sentence was handed down Wednesday evening in a Yolo County courtroom.
Pedroia pleaded guilty in April to the charge. In return, a second count of oral copulation and two counts of committing lewd acts with a minor were dropped.
Pedroia was booked at the Yolo County jail on Jan. 9 on two counts of oral copulation and lewd acts with a child under age 14, but was released on $50,000 bail, says Woodland Police. At a February 9 hearing, he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Prosecutors were seeking a sentence of eight years in prison.
Yolo County Deputy District Attorney Tiffany Susz says Pedroia's sentence includes a suspended six-year prison term, with eight years of probation. If he violates the terms of his probation, Susz says Pedroia will have to serve the prison term.
Brett Pedroia is the older brother of Dustin Pedroia.
The brothers grew up in Woodland, a small town outside of Sacramento.
