SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Prosecutors say a Pennsylvania defense attorney targeted vulnerable clients and pressured them into having sex in exchange for legal work. Corey Kolcharno was charged Monday with felony counts of promoting prostitution. The state attorney general’s office says Kolcharno sexually exploited four women between 2018 and 2022. Kolcharno was arraigned Monday and was released on $20,000 unsecured bail. A statement issued by his attorney said Kolcharno “has made a conscious decision to accept responsibility.” Kolcharno was a Lackawanna County prosecutor before entering private practice.
