Jury condemned Connellsville Man for video recordings from Topless Teen

A man from Connellsville was convicted in West Moreland County on Wednesday because he recorded and owned a sexually explicit video of a youthful girl.

After almost three hours of advice, a jury Jonathan Dulaney, 30, found three crimes to crime, including two cases of sexual abuse of children. The public prosecutor said that at the end of 2021 he had secretly recorded a video chat between his now former wife and a partially bare teenager.

Dulaney was also convicted of illegal contact with a minor. The jury acquired Dulaney from an indictment of spreading the video.

The public prosecutor claimed that Dulaney shared the pictures of the Topless Teenager, who was only shy when the recording was taken and later shared with her friend and others via social media.

During the three-day procedure, the prosecutors said that Dulaney had recorded the chat on his cell phone and used his wife's Facebook account to share the video. The teenager said she did not know that she had been recorded when she had withdrawn during the conversation until she saw a copy after she had been shared.

“I changed in front of my friends in front of my friends. I was shocked and speechless. There was a video like this around,” said the 20 -year -old victim.

Dulaneys now said former woman for the public prosecutor that her husband checked her Facebook account and uploaded the pornographic video and shared it with her second child.

Jennie Lynn Dulaney, 23, is also charged with referring to the video. She said she had no agreements with prosecutors in return for her testimony against her former husband, but her cooperation will lead to leniency. Your process should begin in June.

“Mr. Dulaney checked and he checked my phone,” she said.

The stepmother of the teenager was the only witness of the defense to say, and claimed that Jennie Dulaney had confessed to record and send the video.

The defense argued that the public prosecutor could not prove that Jonathan Dulaney was the person who made and shared the video. The deputy district prosecutor Jonathan Nace argued that Jennie Dulaney was the culprit and suggested that it was made out of jealousy after the teenager and the woman had a failure.

“Jennie decides to hurt her and sends her friend a compromising video and colored it from another man,” argued Nace towards the jurors.

The judge of the Common Pleas Court, Scott Mears, said Jonathan Dulaney could remain free until he is convicted in about three months.

Prosecutors said they will ask for Dulaney to serve time in prison.
