NEW YORK, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- A 17-year-old New York girl has agreed to spend two years in jail for helping kill a friend's cat by roasting the animal alive inside an oven.
Cheyenne Cherry said in court Wednesday she understands the ramifications of her plea bargain deal with prosecutors that involves two years in jail and three years of post-release supervision, The New York Daily News reported Thursday.
Cherry, whose official sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 21, would also be banned from owning a pet for three years following her release and would be required to permanently stay away from Valerie Hernandez.
Cherry and a 14-year-old accomplice, whose identity was not released, broke into Hernandez's apartment on May 6 and put the woman's cat inside an oven heated to 500 degrees.
In July, Cherry pleaded guilty to charges of attempted burglary and animal cruelty in Bronx Supreme Court.
The Daily News said Cherry's accomplice, who was the individual who placed the cat inside the oven, was sentenced to 18 months in juvenile jail in August.
