A Rostraver Commissioner is appealing his recent conviction of three summary counts of Harassment. The Trib reports that 43-year-old John Lorenzo was found guilty during a summary trial on May 18th for making harassing statements toward the township manager and two fellow commissioners, and for slapping one of the commissioners in the face during a township Halloween event in 2022.
Prosecution witnesses testified that they heard Lorenzo use expletives or express displeasure with a person or the handling of the Oct. 31 event at the DiVirgilio Sports Complex. Defense witnesses said the incident never happened and Lorenzo’s attorney said the charges were politically motivated.
