Poland man admits pandering obscenity involving minors

YOUNGSTOWN — An assistant county prosecutor is recommending a five-year prison term for a 47-year-old Poland man who pleaded guilty to gross sexual imposition against two minors and pandering obscenity involving those girls, one of them only 12 at the time of the crimes against her.

Thomas Wilson, of Youngstown-Pittsburgh Road, entered his plea today before Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Judge Krichbaum ordered Wilson jailed without bond pending sentencing at 11 a.m. March 19.

The Community Corrections Association will do a pre-sentence investigation.

The judge told Wilson he could sentence him to as much as 201⁄2 years in prison and fine him up to $45,000, if he were to impose maximum, consecutive sentences on the two counts each of gross sexual imposition and pandering obscenity involving a minor.
