Digirolamo accepts plea, according to lawyer
By Vic Monaco, Managing Editor
Rosario DiGirolamo, described as a person of interest in the disappearance of his mistress, Amy Giordano, of Hightstown, accepted a plea agreement today related to his abandonment of the couple’s baby, according to his lawyer.
Jerome Ballarotto said his client pleaded guilty in Delaware to two misdemeanors — abandonment and child endangerment — while a felony charge of endangerment was dropped.
He was sentenced to 18 months of probation and ordered to continue psychiatric counseling throughout that period, Mr. Ballarotto said.
The original charges carried a maximum penalty of six years in jail.
Then 11-month-old Michael DiGirolamo was found outside a Newark, Del. hospital June 9. Ms. Giordano, 27, has not been seen since June 7.
