Crawford, who was convicted in February by a Luzerne County jury, received one year in the county's Intermediate Punishment Program, with the first six months of house arrest with an electronic monitor.

Crawford was also ordered to discontinue her grooming business until her sentence is complete, which includes over one year of probation and several hours of community service.

Crawford's Web site, gothickittens.net, was also ordered to be taken down.
