The following day, Spataro granted Mary's grandparents, Dannie and Mary Gingerich, temporary custody of Mary. The court order said that Gingerich was to turn his daughter over to them immediately and that he was to have no further contact with her until the matter was resolved in a court of law. The Pennsylvania State Police then arrested Joseph and Atlee on charges of criminal conspiracy.

Three days later, troopers from the Pennsylvania State Police barracks in Kane received information that Gingerich and his daughter were at a camp in McKean County. When troopers arrived on the scene Gingerich was arrested and Mary was reunited with her grandparents.

In discussing the plea agreement with the Erie Daily Times, Schultz described it as an "excellent resolution," adding, "I had an opportunity to speak to the victim and to her grandparents, and they are very happy to have the case resolved," Schultz said. "She was very reluctant to testify because of all of the attention."
