Ex-Northampton Supervisor Gets Prison In Sex-Photo Case

NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — A former Northampton Township supervisor and his girlfriend will spend time in jail after pleading guilty to spiking a woman's drink, then taking intimate photos of her.

Larry Weinstein, 45, of Richboro, and Kelly Drucker, 46, of Holland, pleaded guilty in October to false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and illegal wiretap charges in the case.

On Thursday, Judge Brian T. McGuffin sentenced Weinstein to 11 1/2-23 months in county jail and Drucker to nine to 23 months.

On the evening of Nov. 10, 2017, the woman felt ill and disoriented after Drucker slipped high-proof alcohol into her wine while the two were having dinner. After she took the woman home, Weinstein instructed Drucker through text messages to remove the woman's clothing and take photos of her with a pair of spy glasses outfitted with a hidden camera.

Prosecutors say that, while recovered photographs and text messages shed light on the incident, the true extent of abuse the victim suffered may never been known for sure. The victim, prosecutors say, didn't learn what happened that evening until nearly a year later, when she was contacted by Bucks County detectives.

"On Nov. 10, Kelly and Larry took my right to make a choice away from me," the woman said Thursday in court. "They could have killed me that night."

Text messages between Drucker and Weinstein sent the morning after the incident suggest some kind of sexual activity took place in the bed where their victim woke up, partially undressed. Weinstein admitted he visited Drucker's home after the victim was unconscious.

The messages also expressed excitement for future "missions," according to prosecutors.

In court, Weinstein cited deteriorating health after a head injury in 2017 that he said made him act impulsively. He denied ever touching the victim, but called his crimes "horrific" and "the worst thing I've ever done in my life."

He and Drucker both pleaded for probation, saying their social and professional reputations already are ruined. Weinstein was an attorney before his arrest.

McGuffin was unswayed by the arguments.

"To let you folks walk out of here on probation would so seriously depreciate the seriousness of these offenses, and be offensive to my responsibility as a judge and to the victim," he said.

The judge applauded the victim's courage in speaking out and said he believes it is "very, very, very likely" that she prevented others from falling victim to Weinstein and Drucker.

Both Weinstein and Drucker also were sentenced to five-year terms of probation. They were ordered to report next month to Bucks County Correctional Facility.
