Man indicted over failure to tell of move



The grand jury indicted 14 others in its report.
YOUNGSTOWN -- A Mahoning County grand jury indicted two Youngstown men, one charged with being a sex offender who failed to register a change of address, and the other with making $425 worth of personal calls on a city phone.
Charles Gorham, 37, of West Dewey Avenue, is charged with failure to provide change of address, a fifth-degree felony, which carries a maximum penalty of a year in prison.
He was charged with failing to register as a sex offender when he moved from a house in McDonald. Boardman police arrested him on the Youngstown charge. A Trumbull County grand jury earlier decided not to indict him on a failing-to-register charge.
Also Thursday, the grand jury indicted James T. Bowers, 26, of Delaware Avenue, a seasonal city employee, on a fifth-degree felony charge of theft in office after he allegedly used a Pemberton Park telephone to call a dating service.
Bowers has been jailed without bond pending a probation revocation hearing today before Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court. Bowers, who was apprehended by parole agents, had been on probation after his conviction last September on three counts of attempted child endangering.
An assistant county prosecutor said Bowers, his girlfriend and three children, had been living in a Youngstown house with no water or electric service and dog feces on the floor in February 2005.
