Ex-Northampton Supervisor, Girlfriend Guilty In Sex-Photo Case

NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — A former Northampton Township supervisor and his girlfriend pleaded guilty Monday on charges claiming they plotted to spike a woman's drink, then take sexually explicit photos of her.

Larry Weinstein, 45, of Richboro, pleaded guilty to false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and violations of the Pennsylvania Wiretap Act, according to the Bucks County District Attorney's office. He also pleaded no contest to a count of invasion of privacy related to a case involving another woman in 2012.

Weinstein's girlfriend, Kelly Drucker, 46, of Holland, pleaded guilty to similar charges.

According to prosecutors, Weinstein and Drucker began what they called their "mission" in October 2017. Text messages show the couple plotting to spike their victim's drink with high-proof alcohol as a ploy to get her back to Drucker's house, where a webcam had been placed in the bathroom.

On Nov. 10, 2017, prosecutors said, Drucker and the victim had dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Weinstein, who was not there, stayed in contact with Drucker via text messages throughout the evening, coaching her on how to convince the woman to come home with her, prosecutors say.

Weinstein instructed Drucker once she got the woman home to ask her sexual questions and keep making her drink alcohol. The victim told investigators she recalled going to dinner and that her wine "didn't taste right." She said she did not remember anything after commenting on the wine.

Eventually, the woman got sick and passed out in a bathroom. Weinstein then instructed Drucker to put on a pair of spy glasses and take photos.

During their investigation, detectives found photos of the victim taken while she was in the bathroom at Drucker's home. The investigation began last August after they say a man found illicit messages on a phone that once belonged to Drucker.

Weinstein, a Republican, stepped down from Northampton's five-member board of supervisors the month before he was charged, citing personal reasons. His law license was suspended in July.

The couple had been set to face trial on the charges this month. Judge Brian T. McGuffin deferred sentencing for 60 days.
