A Lehighton teen who admitted having sex with a girl in a bathroom at Lehighton Area High School and then posting pictures of the act on social media was sentenced to a county prison term on Friday.

Jahmir J. Spencer, 19, was sentenced by Judge Steven R. Serfass to serve one day less 12 to one day less 24 months in prison. He previously pleaded guilty to one count of corruption of a minor. He was also sentenced in two other cases in which he entered pleas to counts of simple assault and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Spencer was charged by Lehighton police for an incident on March 29, 2017, at the high school. He had sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old girl in a men’s bathroom of the school. He videotaped the act using his cellphone and then played it for others to see. The girl told investigators the sex was consensual. Both were students at the school. Another student at the school saw the video and reported it.

He was originally charged with photograph/film/depict on computer sex act — knowingly depicts on computer, photo, etc. (a felony 2), child pornography (a felony 3) and invasion of privacy — view, photograph, etc. person without consent (a misdemeanor 3).

However, those charges were dropped and court records indicated he was going to plead to a new charge of sexual abuse of a child, a felony. That charge was never brought before the court as a new stipulation was filed between the district attorney’s office and the defendant, adding the corruption count, which is a felony 3.

He also admitted assaulting a juvenile on March 22 in the area of Main Road in Lehighton. The drug count stems from an incident on March 13 in the area of 20 Mauch Chunk St., filed by Mahoning Township police.

Serfass told Spencer the entire case “makes me shake my head.” He added, “I can’t imagine what was going through your head. Use of a video phone to record it and display it, I don’t understand it.”

Serfass told Spencer he is now a young man with a felony conviction which will “follow you your entire life.”

When asked by the court if he wanted to say anything, Spencer simply replied “no.”

Public defender attorney Matthew Mottola said his client participated in sports at the school, was in his senior year and 18 at the time. He added Spencer spent his graduation day in the county prison. He said Spencer did manage to secure his high school diploma while in the prison.

Mottola said he felt Spencer’s actions were those of “an immature person.” He said since his incarceration, Spencer now realizes the wrong he has done.

On the assault charge Serfass placed him on probation for two years consecutive to the first count and one year probation on the drug charge, also consecutive to the other counts.

He was also ordered to submit to a sexual offenders evaluation, get both drug and alcohol and mental health evaluations, have no contact with the victim, no unsupervised contacts with minors, supply a DNA sample, pay a $50 per month supervision fee while on parole and probation and pay court costs of abut $1,000.

The corruption charge falls under the provisions of Megan’s Law, meaning Spencer must register as a sexual offender for the next 15 years.

He was given credit for 296 days spent in prison to date on the charges.
