A Kittanning man was convicted of single counts of second-degree misdemeanor indecent assault and summary harassment.
Armstrong County District Attorney Katie Charlton announced a jury found 47-year-old Douglas Flanders guilty of the indecent assault, while judge James J. Panchik found him guilty of the harassment count. The charges were filed in July of 2023 after an investigation by police in Manor Township that started after a Childline report was made by Armstrong Junior-Senior High School that the victim was sexually assaulted. In a forensic interview, the child said that Panchik had abused her.
No word yet on when the sentencing will take place.
