Dad in Jail When Daughter Doesn't Graduate

FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) -- A man ordered to stay on top of his daughter's educational problems months ago is in a Cincinnati-area jail because the daughter hasn't gotten her high school equivalency diploma.
A Butler County Juvenile Court judge sentenced Brian Gegner, of Fairfield, last Wednesday to 180 days in jail for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was ordered months ago to make sure his now 18-year-old Brittany Gegner received her GED.
Brittany Gegner said in an interview with WCPO-TV in Cincinnati that she lived with her mother when she was truant from classes even though her father had custody of her and he shouldn't be blamed.
Court administrator Rob Clevenger Jr. said Monday that the court still has jurisdiction in the case because Brittany Gegner was a juvenile when the problems began.
