Sayger received a total of six separate 40-year sentences for level 1 felony counts of child molesting. She was also sentenced to an additional 12 years for another child molesting charge. Each sentence ran consecutively, bringing the total amount of time Sayger will serve to 252 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October, she was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fox59.com\/news\/cass-county-woman-faces-maximum-sentence-of-up-to-300-years-after-convictions-in-child-molesting-sex-trafficking-case\/\">found guilty<\/a>&nbsp;of 11 charges, which included promotion of child sexual trafficking, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child molesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The charges were brought forward after the Logansport Police Department investigated a report in 2023 alleging that a juvenile female was allegedly sexually assaulted by a man named Mikel Fort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cass County Prosecutor Noah Schafer said the investigation uncovered evidence that Sayger was a co-conspirator in the alleged assault and helped to arrange these encounters in exchange for money. The prosecutor\u2019s office added that the juvenile victim was given alcohol and THC gummies during the assaults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schafer said in a release that Sayger claimed during her trial that she was the individual who was having sex for money instead of the juvenile. Prosecutors determined this did not align with her previous testimony or the evidence gathered by detectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online court records out of Cass Circuit Court show that Fort is set to appear for his jury trial in the case on March 9, 2026, at 9 a.m. It was previously scheduled to commence on Oct. 20. He faces nine preliminary counts of child molesting, which are level 1 and level 4 felonies. He also has child exploitation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges pending against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-10.png 768w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-10-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ().push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This from fox59.com: CASS COUNTY, IN\u2014 A woman has been sentenced to over 250 years behind bars after being convicted for her role in a\u00a0child molestation case of a juvenile girl\u00a0in Cass County.
