A former Vermont State Police trooper pleaded guilty Wednesday to a lesser charge after being accused of sexually assaulting an ex-girlfriends daughter over several years, the Brattleboro Reformer reported.

In a plea deal, Todd Chisholm, 59, agreed to a sentence to 30 days in prison and six years of probation for lewd and lascivious behavior. In December 2020, he had initially been charged also with repeated sexual assault of a child under the age of 16 and two counts of sexual assault.

The victim, who is now 31 and identified in the affidavit as K.B., came forward in 2019, telling detectives that shed met Chisholm while he was having an extramarital affair with her mother. K.B. told investigators that the affair lasted from 1998 to 1999.
