Man Accused of Campus Sexual Assault in 2013 and Later Sending a Facebook Message About It Pleads Guilty in Pennsylvania
LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 17 – Cleary faces 4 to 8 years after pleading guilty to a 2013 sexual assault following extradition from France, with sentencing set for October 20, authorities said.
- On Thursday in Pennsylvania, Ian Cleary pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a Gettysburg College student, months after extradition from France.
- Driven by the accuser’s decade-long evidence gathering, authorities issued a 2021 felony warrant and launched an international manhunt after she uncovered Facebook messages linked to Cleary’s account.
- The warrant detailed how Cleary stalked the student at a party, sneaked into her dorm and assaulted her while she texted friends.
- Facing 4 to 8 years, Cleary awaits his Oct. 20 sentencing later this year.
- The two sides proposed a four- to eight-year term at sentencing but Judge Kevin Hess can impose up to 10 years for second-degree sexual assault.
