More sex charges filed against Dawe

The local political consultant and advocate now faces more sex charges in Luzerne County.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Additional sex charges have been filed against a man active in the Luzerne County community.

According to authorities, John Dawe became friends with a 16-year-old boy in Wilkes-Barre in the fall. He allegedly asked the teen for nude pictures, and a few weeks later, sexually abused him.

Dawe was arrested earlier this month in a similar case.

According to Dawe's website, he worked as a consultant for several political campaigns and also co-founded NEPA Rainbow Alliance, a nonprofit focused on LGBTQ advocacy.
