Lake County man pleads guilty to charges involving Mahoning County woman

YOUNGSTOWN — A disgruntled Lake County man, who prosecutors say wreaked havoc in the life of a local teacher with, among other things, sexual email to her co-workers, will be required to register as a sex offender and spend time on probation.

Robert McLaughlin, 63, of Painesville, pleaded guilty earlier this week to three counts of pandering obscenity and three counts of possessing criminal tools in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court. He will be sentenced July 6 by Judge Maureen A. Sweeney.

McLaughlin, a retired member of the military and retired United States Postal Service employee, could be sentenced to two years in prison and fined $5,000.
