Tammy Walnofer, 38, of Norfolk is charged with first-degree sexual assault for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a male teen that was 15 at the time and Walnofer 35. She could get a maximum penalty of 50 years in jail. Or a minimum penalty of one year. Both cases were delayed to May 1 for pre-trial conference with a jury trial set for May 5.
