Other charges including possession of child pornography were dismissed.

Wise was arrested in 2017 after serving a few years on the five-member town council.

A judge sentenced him to seven years in prison, but prosecutor Kirke Adams says Wise is asking for probation and remains free on bond.

Wise’s plea came after prosecutors had asked a judge to revoke the man’s bond because he allegedly sent a birthday card to his victim.

Daleville is a city of around 5,000 people about 100 miles south of Montgomery.
