An elderly man was sentenced Tuesday for having sexual contact with a 16-year-old boy and video taping it.
That elderly man was a crossing guard in Dunmore for years. Monday he learned he will go to jail for videotaping sex acts with a teen.
Joseph Gyuriska will spend at least three months in jail for making pornographic videos with a teenager. The rest of his sentence will be spent on house arrest.
Gyuriska, 86, told the judge we was very sorry for what happened.
The judge said his 85 years with a non-existent criminal record would not lessen his punishment for what he did.
Gyuriska was sentenced to six to 23 months. The first three months he will serve in county jail. The rest will be spent on house arrest.
Gyuriska pleaded guilty to corruption of minors in August.
He admitted to police he videotaped the teen performing sexual acts with himself and another man in exchange for sneakers and clothes.
Gyuriska was a crossing guard for the Dunmore School District and is a World War II veteran.
He told the judge before he learned his punishment.
"I'm very sorry this happened. I don't know why. I've lost all my friends in Pennsylvania," Gyuriska said.
It all happened at a house in Throop.
Police said they took a computer that contained pornography and videos of Gyuriska having sex with the teenager.
Joseph Burns, 28, was also arrested in the case, accused of helping to videotape the sex and also having sex with the teen.
He is still locked up and awaiting trial in Lackawanna County.
