Hearing on father jailed over daughter's lack of diploma
May 16, 2008 8:14 AM

CINCINNATI
A defense attorney is scheduled to argue for the release of a man jailed in southwest Ohio after his daughter failed to get her high school equivalency diploma.



Last week, Brian Gegner of Fairfield received a 180-day sentence for contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a minor. He had been ordered months earlier to make sure his daughter Brittany received her GED, but she did not get the diploma.

Brittany Gegner has a history of truancy. She's now 18 and says it's not fair that her father was punished for her behavior.

Brian Gegner's attorney asked Butler County Juvenile Court Judge David Niehaus to reconsider the sentence. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for Friday.
