A 47 year-old Clearfield County man, Corey Dean Harris, was sentenced to 376 to 752 years in prison after being convicted of nearly 200 child sexual abuse charges.
Today’s Punxsutawney Spirit reports, his offenses, spanning 94 weeks, involved aggravated indecent assault and other crimes against a minor. Harris fled during his July trial but was recaptured after a multi-day search. The charges stemmed from a 2022 ChildLine report, with the victim detailing repeated abuse. Initially denying the allegations, Harris later admitted to lying in bed with the victim but denied abuse.
Harris also received fines for a theft charge.
