A Carbon County man pleaded guilty in the county court on Monday to a charge of indecent assault.

Calvin D. Cederborg, 32, of Nesquehoning, entered the plea to the misdemeanor 2 charge before Judge Joseph J. Matika.

In exchange for the plea, the district attorney’s office agreed to drop eight other counts, including five felonies. Charges dropped included four counts of aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault, and corruption of minors.

Lansford police charged Cederborg with sexually assaulting a teenage girl who was passed out after drinking.

Officer Joshua P. Tom wrote in an affidavit of probable cause that he and officer Timothy Wuttke were on patrol on May 28, 2017, when they received a report of sexual assault involving a man and a teenage girl.

Cederborg had been invited to a party at the home and had been flirting with the girl and giving her alcohol, according to an adult witness.

The girl was intoxicated when police arrived and needed emergency medical treatment.

A witness told police he saw Cederborg touching the girl inappropriately while she was passed out on a sofa.

Other guests at the party told Cederborg to stop, and called police. They also stopped Cederborg from fleeing by tackling him as he ran through the backyard.

“My girlfriend is going to kill me for what I did,” Cederborg told police as they took him into custody, “I just want to die.”

Matika said the charge falls under the provisions of Megan’s Law. Matika deferred sentencing because Cederborg must be evaluated by the state sexual offenders assessment board to determine if he is a violent sexual predator. If is determined that he is, then he must register for life as a sexual offender.

Matika also ordered the adult probation office to prepare a presentence investigation report.
