Martin A. Petersime, 65, has been in prison 26 1⁄2 years on a sentence of 12 to 40 years, and is eligible for parole in September, but Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins has asked the Ohio Parole Board to keep him behind bars longer. Petersime, the former owner of the Warren Music Center on High Street, was convicted in 1992 of 20 felony sex offenses involving six children. Among them were two convictions for raping boys 11 and 12 years old.
