Ronald McKnight was sentenced Monday for his role in the molestation of a 14-year-old Chaparral boy last August, according to a report on the KFOX-TV Web site.

McKnight's wife, 52-year-old Donna McKnight -- a former teacher at Vista Hills Elementary School in east El Paso -- was sentenced in February for sexually assaulting the Dona Ana County boy.

State District Judge Stephen Bridgforth imposed a six-year sentence on Donna McKnight, then suspended two years and ordered her to register as a sex offender on her release from prison, according to earlier news reports.

Ronald McKnight, who pleaded guilty in January to charges of bribing a witness, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and conspiracy to contribute to the delinquency of a minor, was given a "similar" sentence on Monday to that imposed on his wife, but the El Paso/Las Cruces television station gave no other details.

The 49-year-old husband was accused of offering to pay the 14-year-old victim for two years of college and to buy the teen-ager two four-wheelers if he would drop the complaint against his wife.

The molestation took place at Donna McKnight's mother-in-law's home in Chaparral.
