BETHLEHEM, Pa. – An Olympian and former Lehigh County commissioner pleaded guilty Monday to harassing a\u00a0Bethlehem woman.<\/p>\n
Marty Nothstein pleaded guilty to\u00a0one count of disorderly conduct, one count of harassment, and one count of defiant trespass, according to the Northampton County District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
The DA’s office said he was sentenced to two years of probation and will not face jail time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marty Nothstein had been facing stalking and criminal mischief charges.<\/p>\n
Those charges stemmed from a series of incidents involving his ex-girlfriend in 2024.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors said after the woman broke up with him, Nothstein showed up at her house and workplace, and damaged some of her property.<\/p>\n
Nothstein, an Emmaus native, won an Olympic gold medal in track cycling in 2000.<\/p>\n
He later ran for Congress, losing to Democrat Susan Wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – An Olympian and former Lehigh County commissioner pleaded guilty Monday to harassing a\u00a0Bethlehem woman.
