She’ll be sentenced this week. According to court records, she faces up to 16 1/2 years in prison for the engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity charge alone.
She’ll also have to register as a Tier I sex offender every year for the next 15 years.
As previously reported, Blythe was charged with forcing a 16-year-old girl into prostitution and taking sexually explicit photos of the girl.
An investigation by the Miami Valley Human Trafficking Task Force found that the victim was a foster youth from a neighboring county who had been placed in Montgomery County.
Blythe remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail.
