An Allentown man will spend 10 to 23 months in jail after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman he met through a dating app in 2024.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, April 15, a judge sentenced Lorens Dejesus Gomez, 24, after being convicted by a jury of invasion of privacy. However, the jury could not come to an agreement on a charge of rape, according to the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
As part of an agreement, Gomez pleaded guilty to sexual assault. Officials said the agreement was reached to spare the victim from going through a second trial, and with the victim’s approval.<\/p>\n
On April 24, 2024, the victim met Gomez through a dating app and agreed to meet him at his home to braid his hair. Officials said the victim told Gomez several times she did not want to have sex.<\/p>\n
Gomez sexually assaulted the victim at his home and also recorded part of the incident without her knowledge or consent.<\/p>\n
The victim was able to leave home and contacted police.<\/p>\n
In addition to his jail sentence, Gomez was also ordered three years of probation. He will also be required to register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Allentown man will spend 10 to 23 months in jail after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,433],"class_list":["post-166766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-lehigh-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
