Police officers visited Ravenswood’s shop to explain a law dating back to 1861 that outlaws fortune telling for money, including tarot reading and astrology. Ravenswood recalled being told that advertising or offering readings could result in arrest or steep fines. “The message was basically, ‘We’re watching you,’” they said. Despite having clear disclaimers posted that readings were for entertainment purposes only, Ravenswood was left shaken by the threat. 

Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Fanning showed proof of "extensive mitigation" since his arrest in March, prosecutors said.
