A Loveland woman sentenced to more than two years in prison was among two people sentenced recently in Highland County Common Pleas Court.

Tiffany Badinghaus-Watson, 37, was sentenced to 12 months in prison on one count of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, a fourth-degree felony, which was ordered to be consecutive to another count of endangering children, a third-degree felony. She was given two days of jail-time credit.

According to court documents for the first count, around June 1, 2022, through Dec. 31, 2022, Badinghaus-Watson and a co-defendant recklessly directly sold, delivered, furnished, disseminated, provided, exhibited, rented or presented to the victim — a juvenile, a group of juveniles, a law enforcement officer posing as a juvenile or a group law enforcement officers posing as juveniles — material or performances that was obscene or harmful to juveniles.

According to court documents for the second count, around the period of Jan. 1, 2020, and continuing through Feb. 16 2023, Badinghaus-Watson and her co-defendant, being the parents, guardians or people having custody a child 7-10 years old, created a substantial risk to the health or safety of the victim by violating a duty of care, protection or support.

In other sentencings, Robin Robinson, 53, Loveland, was sentenced to six years of community control from two separate cases, one being illegal conveyance of drugs of abuse onto the grounds of a specified governmental facility, a third-degree felony, and the other being a count of failure to appear, a fourth-degree felony.

For the first count, Robinson was ordered to successfully complete Substance Use Disorder (SUD) residential treatment and aftercare. The court ordered that if Robinson violates any of the community control sanctions, she would be given a sentence of between nine and 36 months and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.

According to court documents for the first count, around April 27, 2023, an officer arrested Robinson on a misdemeanor theft charge and transported her to the Highland County Justice Center. After they got to jail, a deputy at intake was asking her medical questions while Robinson said multiple times “I have to pee. I’m going to pee myself.”

She was taken into the shower room and told to remove her clothes so she could change into the jail uniform. She wasn’t complying with the instructions and tried to get into the shower. The deputy again told her to remove her clothes. Robinson finally removed her clothes “while acting suspicious and moving around.”

The deputy then told her to squat and cough, and when she did that the deputy saw what looked like a plastic baggie in her “vaginal area.” Robinson followed the deputy’s instruction to remove the plastic baggie. The deputy saw that the plastic bag contained a white powdered rock substance. The substance was then submitted to BCI for testing and found to contain methamphetamine.

For the second count, the court ordered that if Robinson violates any of the community control sanctions, she would be given a sentence of six months and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.

According to court documents for the second count, Robinson was indicted in Highland County Common Pleas Court, was arraigned on Oct. 5, 2023, and signed an own recognizance bond. She was also advised by the court of the dates she was required to appear and signed an appearance notice. She failed to appear at a pretrial hearing on Dec. 13, 2023.
