Man sentenced for sexually abusing minor child in 1988

WICOMICO CO., Md. – A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced for child sex abuse charges.

On Friday, 54-year-old Terrance Pinkett was sentenced to a total of 20 years incarceration after pleading guilty in November 2024 to child sex abuse and second degree sex offense charges. Following his active sentence, Pinkett will be placed on five years of supervised probation, and will be subject to an additional 15 years incarceration if he violates probation.
