Despite urgings from leaders of a local Amish community, Melvin Glick was jailed on Wednesday for having a three-year sexual relationship with a young girl. Glick, 32, received a large show of support from his community after he was charged last year with sexually assaulting the girl about 100 times. However, a local judge said, that support doesn't excuse the criminal acts. "To treat you differently just because you are a member of the Amish community would disrespect that honorable community," County Judge David Ashworth told Glick. Ashworth ordered Glick to 2 to 4 years in state prison, followed by 6 years on probation. Glick also must register his whereabouts with state police for the rest of his life. Glick's supporters had suggested extended counseling would suffice. "I am tremendously impressed and pleased that your community has gathered around you in support," Ashworth said. "What I am concerned about is that we not lose sight of the fact that you had sexual contact with a child. "That can't be ignored." Glick, a married man with five children, admitted in May to having sexual contact with the girl, who lived nearby, between 2007 and 2010. Michael Reed, Glick's attorney, suggested that his client and the victim were in love with one another. He said they often came in contact with one another and there were "sparks." "How do you rule out love?" Reed asked a psychologist who determined Glick to be a sexually violent predator. "There are sexual deviants who love 5-year-olds," Dr. Robert Stein said in response. "That's what pedophilia means." Stein diagnosed Glick with that affliction. He testified that Glick would likely re-offend, based on the extended period of sexual behavior with the girl, that began when she was 13. "He knew it was wrong all along," Stein said of Glick. "He told himself to stop. He could not." Ashworth agreed with Stein's diagnosis and ordered the lifetime registration, which is mandatory for sexually violent predators. About a dozen of Glick's relatives, including his wife, attended the sentencing. Several of the supporters spoke on Glick's behalf, saying he has responded well to counseling. He signed a conduct agreement with community leaders in order to stay in compliance with the faith, it was said in court. "We all can appreciate what the community has done and said," Assistant District Attorney Karen Mansfield, "but they didn't commit these acts." The victim, Mansfield said, is angry and wanted Glick to go to jail. "She wishes she could have waited to experience sex with her (future) husband only," Mansfield said. Glick "took something from her that she'll never get back." The victim was not in the courtroom -- and for good reason, prosecutors said. While Glick was immediately embraced following the charges, prosecu ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmOnDGkfXFg
