A Lansford police officer cultivated a sexual relationship with a teenage boy last year, giving him beer and showing him pornography, state police say.

Shubeck, 40, of Nesquehoning, had sexual contact with the teen, according to Lehighton state Trooper Joseph Campbell, who filed charges on Tuesday.An affidavit of probable cause filed with District Judge Casimir Kosciolek of Lansford explains the charges:.A criminal attempt of official oppression stemmed from a voice mail that Shubeck left on the victim's phone on Dec. 21, 2012, telling him that there was a warrant for his arrest on "deviant sexual intercourse and all that other (expletive)," and that he was to report to the police station. The teen didn't respond, but was afraid because Shubeck was a police officer..A charge of stalking was filed because Shubeck drove past the victim's house to try to keep tabs on his whereabouts. He also sent numerous text messages to him at all hours of the day to try to find out where he was and with whom he was hanging out..Police charged Shubeck with corruption of minors because he gave the teenager alcohol and engaged in sexual activity with him on numerous occasions.
