A North Huntingdon man was ordered Tuesday to serve up to four years in prison for sexual assault of a teenage girl.
Brandon Roy Satolli, 29, pleaded guilty to felony counts of statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and child pornography in connection with allegations from last July in which a then 13-year-old girl told police she had sexual contact with a 28-year-old man.
Police said Satolli molested the teen in an abandoned trailer and exchanged pornographic pictures of himself and the teen via social media.
Prosecutors dismissed one count of corruption of a minor as part of the plea deal.
According to court records, Satolli initially denied having sex with the teen and claimed his phone was hacked. He later confessed to the sex crimes and in court on Tuesday he said it was in his best interest to plead guilty to the charges.
Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court Judge Meagan Bilik-DeFazio sentenced Satolli serve two to four years in prison and an additional 10 years on parole. Satolli has been in jail since his arrest last November.
