Man Receives Prison Term for Forcing Wife’s Improper Life
Louis Scher, 28, of Ilgeport, was sentenced to one year in jail by Judge Waldo Marvin after pleading guilty to charges he induced his wife to enter a disreputable house on Gilbert Street and accepted funds from her. Prosecution called him the lowest of the low, but mercy was shown due to his guilty plea and alleged unreliability of the wife as a witness. The defense argued for a shorter sentence, saying he was too lenient with his wife and that she inclined toward an improper life, while the wife later repudiated a police statement and gave contradictory claims.
