A 34-year-old Towanda man has been sentenced to 10 to 64 years in state prison following multiple convictions in Bradford County Court.

According to the Bradford County District Attorney’s Office, Jonathan Rivera was convicted of endangering the welfare of a child, indecent assault, indecent exposure and corruption of minors following a two-day trial in April.

Rivera was arrested by the Pennsylvania State Police back in 2018. He committed the crimes against four different children.

He was originally convicted in 2019 but that was overturned by a higher court in Pennsylvania, requiring the district attorney’s office to try the case for a second time.
