Jail sentence for statutory assault...
by News Department on 06/26/1525 year old Matthew R. Eyer, of Pottsville, is headed to prison after being sentenced in Schuylkill County Court for sexually assaulting a teenage girl in August 2013 in West Brunswick Township.
State police at Schuylkill Haven allege Eyer sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl between 10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Aug. 31, 2013, at the Rock near the Schuylkill River just outside Port Clinton.
Eyer pleaded guilty on March 18 to statutory sexual assault and was sentenced Thursday, by President Judge William E. Baldwin, to serve 11 and one-half to 23 months in prison, plus three additional years on probation.
Baldwin also ruled that Eyer is not a sexually violent predator, a conclusion reached by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board, but still will be subject to 25 years of Megan’s Law sanctions due to his crime.
