The following defendants were sentenced Thursday in Butler County Common Pleas Court by Judge Timothy McCune.

Jeremy Matthew Morra, 22, of Chicora, was resentenced as a Tier 2 sexual offender under Megan’s Law after being improperly sentenced as a Tier 1 offender in March. He was ordered to register with state police for 25 years, instead of the 15 years required for a Tier 1 offender. He was ordered to report his residence, phone number, employment, vehicle ownership, internet identification and other information. He must also submit to fingerprinting and provide DNA.

In March, he was sentenced to serve six months to one year in prison, but immediately was paroled to serve six months of electronic monitoring followed by 36 months of probation after pleading guilty to a charge of disseminating photos of child sex acts. State police filed charges against Morra in January 2021 after being informed about a tip from a social media site. The tip was funnelled through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in January 2020. The tip indicated that a person had uploaded an image of child pornography in December 2019. An IP address in the tip eventually led police to Morra's address, where they executed a search warrant and seized electronics.

Jared Elijah Dean, 40, of Fombell, was sentenced to serve 90 days of house arrest followed by 24 months of probation and pay fines totaling $1,500 after pleading guilty to charges of fleeing or attempting to elude police and driving with a suspended license filed by Zelienople police following a July 22, 2021, incident.
