Warren man found guilty of gross sexual imposition


WARREN — A jury found James M. Plevyak II, 29, of Idylwild Street Northeast, guilty of three counts of gross sexual imposition this afternoon in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.

The jury found him innocent on a fourth count. Gabe Wildman, assistant county prosecutor, dismissed a count of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles before the case went to the jury.

Plevyak will be sentenced at a later date.

Judge W. Wyatt McKay revoked Plevyak’s bond, placing him in the county jail to await sentencing.

Prosecutors say Plevyak molested a 10-year-old boy he was baby-sitting at Plevyak’s home and the boy’s home in Niles.
