Sentencing delayed for woman guilty in teen's drug death

Leslie Aberle

CONCORD - The Massachusetts woman who pleaded guilty to supplying the fentanyl-laced heroin to a Rochester teen that resulted in her death has had her sentencing postponed after being arrested last week on a separate drug charge.

Leslie Aberle, 32, of Salisbury, was scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday at U.S. District Court in Concord, but now that has been postponed till next month.

Seventeen-year-old Eve Tarmey of Rochester, a Spaulding High senior, died Oct. 17, 2015, as a result of snorting the drug at the Rivera Motel where she was sharing a room with her mother, Jazzmyn Rood, and her boyfriend, Mark Ross, who had driven with Aberle and Tarmey to Massachusetts the day before to purchase the drug.

Aberle pleaded guilty in July.

Ross has already been sentenced to 20 years in connection with the case, while Rood was sentenced to two years for obstruction in the initial investigation.
