SCRANTON
A city man who was accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in 2018 was sentenced Thursday to three months to one year in Lackawanna County Prison.
Quintin S. Smith, 20, who pleaded guilty in November to corruption of minors, will also spend three years on probation under the sentence handed down by President Judge Michael J. Barrasse.
City police obtained an arrest warrant for Smith, then 18, on statutory sexual assault and other charges in June 2018 after he was accused of engaging in a sex act with the girl. The Times-Tribune does not identify victims of sexual assault.
Smith was a fugitive for about a year until federal authorities located him in New York City in June.
