HUBBARD -- A Hubbard man charged with encounters with children in Hubbard and Girard has been sentenced to three days in jail.
Shawn W. Cetor, 29, of Youngstown-Hubbard Road, was also fined $200, place on probation for a year and ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
The agreement was worked out Thursday between defense attorney Jeffrey Adler and court prosecutor Robert Johnson.
Cetor was charged by Hubbard police with two counts of child enticement. He pleaded guilty before municipal Judge Michael A. Bernard to two amended charges of disorderly conduct.
The charges stem from Feb. 29 when police alleged that Cetor drove up to two girls -- 7 and 8 years old -- at Fifth Avenue and Scott Street and told them he was looking for his dog.
Police said Cetor drove around the block in his van, told the girls he had found the puppy and tried to lure them inside his vehicle. The girls ran off, and one of the girls told her mother.
The 8-year-old recognized the mug shot of Cetor while she was watching a television news report about Cetor's being charged in Girard.
What happened
In that episode, police reported that Cetor approached two 14-year-old girls in front of Girard High School on March 10 in his van and exposed himself.
Police reported that he drove off, returned and exposed himself again. One of the girls got the license plate number of the van the man was driving. Cetor was later found at the school stadium.
He was charged with one count each of public indecency, criminal trespass and aggravated menacing.
He pleaded guilty to the indecency charge, and the other two charges were dismissed.
"It's always a tough call," Johnson said of the agreement.
Johnson explained that he though it better for Cetor to serve some jail time "as a wake-up call" to him and be assessed so he can get help if a psychological problem is found.
Johnson said it would be a problem with the evidence obtained to get a conviction on child enticement.
If Cetor had been sentenced to the maximum 30 days in jail, the prosecutor said, he could not be placed on probation.
Also, Cetor has 87 days of suspended jail time hanging over his head and could be sentenced to those days if he violates probation.
