Villager Margaret “Peggy” Klemm entered pleas of no contest Wednesday afternoon in the “Sex on the Square” case and will be spending the next 135 days in the Sumter County Detention Center.
The 68-year-old Village of Pennecamp resident was sentenced by Judge Thomas Skidmore on charges of exposure of sexual organs, disorderly conduct and violation of probation.
She has already spent 45 days in jail.
Klemm was originally arrested in April on a driving under the influence charge. At the time, she had been operating a golf cart in Lake Sumter Landing. That charge was reduced to reckless driving and on May 30 she was placed on probation. Three days later, she and a Summerfield man were arrested by a Sumter County sheriff’s deputy while they were on stage at Lake Sumter Landing, allegedly unclothed and having sex. Initially, she made bond, but surrendered herself June 17 on the probation violation.
The man in the case, 49-year-old David Alan Bobilya, was sentenced July 2 to 180 days in jail in connection with the incident which has drawn international attention.
Here’s a breakdown of Klemm’s sentence:
• Violation of probation: 90 days in jail, $50 fine, $50 court costs.
• Exposure of sexual organs: 180 days in jail, $250 fine, $106.30 court costs, $50 cost of probation.
• Disorderly conduct: 60 days in jail, $250 fine, $50 daily cost of incarceration at the jail.
The jail time will be served concurrently. She is scheduled to be released from jail at the end of the second week in December.
Klemm’s husband Frank was in court as his wife was sentenced. He said he is eager for her to come home.
“Everybody deserves a second chance,” he said.
Frank Klemm also said he is grateful for the support of friends and family during this difficult time.
