Kathryn Knott, who stood accused of assaulting a gay couple in Philadelphia last year has been found guilty of simple assault and conspiracy to commit simple assault against Zachary Hesse, one of two victims, as well as reckless endangerment against Hesse and his partner, Andrew Haught, reports The Huffington Post.
Knott, who is the daughter of Chalfont, Pennsylvania, Police Chief Karl Knott was acquitted on aggravated assault charges, which are considered a felony.
Knott will remain free on bail until her Feb. 8 sentencing.
In 2014, Knott was charged alongside Kevin Harrigan, 26, and Phillip Williams, 24, in the beating of Hesse and Haught. Harrigan and Williams, accepted plea deals offered by the District Attorney’s office that include probation, but no jail time. The prosecutor in the case said Knott was offered a similar deal, but she rejected it, opting instead to take her case to trial.
