A Connecticut socialite was sentenced Tuesday, Nov 29, to a year in prison for secretly photographing a minor and others at her opulent seaside estate. Hadley Palmer , 54, pleaded guilty to the charges in January, although the details of her case were strangely withheld from the public. She will now serve 10 years on the sex offender registry and 20 years on probation.
The affluent socialite said nothing during her sentencing hearing in Stamford Superior Court other than to answer questions with “yes” or “no,” but her lawyer applauded the fairness of the sentence. Attorney for the defense Michael Meehan said, “Palmer, who has already served 90 days in prison, has admitted responsibility for her crimes. This person is really sincere, compassionate, and caring.” reports New York Post.
The embarrassed socialite was seen canoodling and kissing a man outside the courthouse. Before being carried out in handcuffs, she sobbed and wiped her eyes as she approached the courthouse.
As he left the courthouse, the unidentified man had a hoodie pulled over his face. Reporters’ questions outside the courthouse went ignored, according to the New York Post. Palmer, a multimillionaire mother of four, acknowledged that between 2017 and 2018, she had recorded individuals while they were undressed or naked with the “purpose to stimulate or satisfy the sexual urge of such person [Palmer] or any other person.”
Palmer’s charges are still unknown, despite the fact that she entered a guilty plea on Jan. 19 to three counts of voyeurism and endangering a minor. After being detained in October 2021, the socialite from Connecticut was quickly enrolled in an expedited rehabilitation program that closes the case.
She ought to have been kept out of the program because the accusations against her were so serious, claims AP. As part of a plea deal, the two most serious accusations against her—contributing to a minor’s pornographic performance and possessing child pornography—were dropped. Palmer, the venture capitalist Bradley Palmer’s wife, is the daughter of Jerrold Fine, the man who started the hedge fund business.
