Indiana County District Attorney Robert Manzi has issued a statement concerning the recent sentencing of a man who pleaded no-contest to charges of sexually assaulting a minor.
On Monday, 41-year-old Jacob Miller of Rossiter was ordered to serve up to 10 years in prison on charges of aggravated indecent assault of someone under 16 years of age, corruption of minors and indecent assault of someone under 16. The charges stemmed from an investigation that started in early 2021 after a report was made to the DA’s office that Miller assaulted a minor on several occasion. A forensic interview was conducted at the CARE Center of Indiana County and the victim reported the assaults. After that, Miller admitted the crimes to state police. He pleaded no contest to the charges in January.
Manzi said that he would not discuss the defendant, as he hopes that he spends the full time in state prison. He was also appreciative of all the work done by the CARE Center and the state police. He said “Their work helped support a victim through a very tough process while making sure this defendant is held accountable for his actions.”
