SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — A Lackawanna County jury found Moises Robles of Monroe County guilty of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old child following a four-day trial, the district attorney’s office announced Friday.
The jury deliberated for about an hour before finding Robles guilty of statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, indecent assault of a person younger than 13 and corruption of minors.
Robles faces a potential maximum sentence of 74 years in state prison. Judge Margaret Bisignani Moyle revoked his bail after the verdict, and he will remain incarcerated until sentencing, which is expected in about 90 days.
Following sentencing, Robles will be required to register as a Tier III sexual offender for life. He will also be evaluated to determine whether he meets the criteria for classification as a sexually violent predator. The court will determine his sentence under applicable law and sentencing guidelines.
Blakely Borough Police Detective Peter Petrucci investigated the case. Deputy District Attorney Bo Loughney and Assistant District Attorney Tara Foley prosecuted it.
