Kathryn Knott gets 5-10 months in Prison for the Philly Gay Bashing case


Well, the jury has spoken. Kathryn Knott was sentenced to 5-10 months in prison! Yes, prison for her part in the gay bashing incident in Center City back in 2014.

Judge Roxanne Covington wasn't done with the gifts, she also handed Kathryn two years of probation and a $2,000 fine.

I bet she was crushed and she should be. However, before the judge read her tea leaves, Kathryn read a statement apologizing to the gay couple
"I am so sorry to what happened to you both on the night of Sept. 11, 2014. I ask you now for your forgiveness and I hope that you some day will be able to provide it. ... Again, I apologize to you and your families. I wish you nothing but the best."
I guess better late than never.

Philly Gay Bashers face No Jail Time



Y'all remember them, right?

They are the three cretins who attacked a gay couple back in September 2014. The woman, Kathryn Knott, was quickly called out for trying to get her father (a cop) involved to help her.

Fast forward to now, where the two guys plead guilty and Kathryn, well, she's willing to take her chances.

Here's more
Philip Williams, 25, of Warminster, and Kevin Harrigan, 26, of Warrington, were sentenced to probation and ordered to stay out of Center City after pleading guilty to simple assault and conspiracy.

A third defendant - Kathryn Knott, 25, of Southampton - has decided to take her chances with a jury.

Both Williams and Harrigan apologized to the court and the victims and said incident was not about sexual orientation. They had been charged with a more serious count of aggravated assault.

Williams' probation and ban from Center City will last five years; three years for Harrigan. They also perform 200 hours of community service at an LGBT facility.
No jail time? Interesting, to say the least.
