New York man designated sexually violent predator

Matthew E. Flandera

An upstate New York man was sentenced to county prison after being designated a sexually violent predator in Butler County Court on Thursday.

Matthew E. Flandera, 34, of North Syracuse, N.Y., was adjudicated to be a sexually violent predator after testimony before county Judge Timothy McCune, and sentenced to 10 to 23 months in Butler County Prison, as well as 48 months of probation.

He also was ordered to undergo lifetime Megan's Law registration.

Flandera pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of indecent assault on Nov. 15.

He was initially charged with two counts each of corruption of minors and child endangerment, both felonies, as well as five counts of indecent assault and one count of terroristic threats, both misdemeanors after allegations that he molested two young boys over the Christmas holiday in 2015.

A full report appears in Friday's Butler Eagle.
