Former Granville mayor Tom Scott pleaded guilty Tuesday to endangering the welfare of a child.
When asked by Putnam Town Court judge Susan Johnson how he would like to plead, Scott said: “Guilty, your honor.”
Scott, 56, is required to pay a $1,000 fine — the maximum defined by the court — and a $205 mandatory state surcharge, both to be paid by Jan. 16.
Scott also was placed on a one-year order of protection, a stay-away order, for each of the alleged victims until next Nov. 28.
He essentially got the max sentence,” said Assistant District Attorney Joe Frandino.
