Emmanuel Paravas was charged last year with third-degree criminal sexual conduct, misconduct in office and neglect of duty .
On May 21, a jury acquitted the ex-Southgate police officer of sex assault and neglect, convicting him of misconduct. Wayne County Circuit Judge Annette Berry sentenced him Thursday.
Defense lawyer Michael Rataj says Friday that Berry exceeded sentencing guidelines of zero to three months behind bars. He says the judge sentenced Paravas as if he'd been convicted of sexual assault, and they'll appeal.
Prosecutors say Paravas answered a Feb. 9, 2011, call involving the woman and her husband.
