WILKES-BARRE — A Dallas man was sentenced Thursday to 18 to 36 months in a
state prison for indecently assaulting a 5-year-old girl.
   
Charles Fleming, 24, of RR 31 Dallas, was found guilty of the charge
earlier this month by a Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas jury. He was
acquitted of a second charge of aggravated indecent assault.
    Judge Joseph Augello credited Fleming for more than six months already
served in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility.
   
Fleming was accused of “indecent contact” with the girl on May 30, 1994,
when he visited her house in Wilkes-Barre, according to court documents. She
was watching cartoons in the living room at the time.
   
It is The Times Leader’s policy not to publish the names of victims of
sexual assaults.
   
The prosecutor was Assistant District Attorney John Aciukewicz. Fleming was
represented by Public Defender Patrick Flannery.
