Man sentenced for statutory rape
SCRANTON - A Scranton man will serve 6 to 12 months in Lackawanna County Prison for having sex with an underage girl over the summer.
Matthew Fisher, 21, 2121 Brick Ave., was sentenced Tuesday by Lackawanna County Judge Vito P. Geroulo on a statutory rape charge. According to a criminal complaint, Mr. Fisher was having sex with a 15-year-old girl three times a week from July 12 until the end of August.
The nine months he has spent in jail since his arrest in August is being credited toward the probation sentence he had from the previous charge.
