Walhallan imprisoned for sex crime

A 29-year old Walhallan has been sent to prison for the better part of 15 years after his admission yesterday that he abused a four-year old child.  Richard Rittmayer pleaded guilty in the Oconee General Sessions Court to criminal sexual conduct with a minor third degree—a crime which was brought to light when the Walhalla police learned that the child had confided to an employee at the James Brown Elementary what happened in September 2014.  Solicitor Chrissy Adams called Rittmayer’s actions “sick and twisted.”
