LATROBE SOCIAL WORKER PLEADS GUILTY TO SEX CRIMES

A former Latrobe social worker pleaded guilty to 13 charges involving sex crimes against ten victims that go back to 2007.  The Trib reports that 63-year-old Gregory Miscik is charged with targeting several teenage clients.  Prosecutors said that Miscik sexually assaulted at least one victim who attended counseling sessions when they were 15.  Other victims claimed Miscik improperly touched them, exchanged sexually explicit photographs for drugs and money, and forced them to have illicit conversations with him.  After his plea was entered, Miscik was ordered to serve 4 and a half to nine years in prison.
