A Lackawanna County jury convicted Evan Quinnan of Archbald, Pennsylvania, on all charges following a two-day trial in the Court of Common Pleas before the Honorable Andrew J. Jarbola [1]. The prosecution brought two counts arising from an incident inside the home Quinnan shared with the victim: involuntary deviate sexual intercourse by forcible compulsion and simple assault causing bodily injury [1]. The case proceeded to trial without a plea resolution, and the jury reached its verdict after approximately 25 minutes of deliberations [1].
The charges centered on allegations that Quinnan physically and sexually assaulted the victim inside their shared residence [1]. The compressed deliberation period reflected a straightforward evidentiary record presented across the two-day proceeding. Judge Jarbola presided over the trial in Scranton [1].
Quinnan faces a maximum combined sentence of 22 years in prison [1]. No sentencing date has been publicly reported. The court will set a date for formal sentencing proceedings, at which point the defense may present mitigation and the Commonwealth may argue for a term at or near the statutory ceiling.
