Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced at a Wednesday news conference at the Bradford County Courthouse in Towanda that Salsman faces multiple counts of sexual assault, indecent assault, intimidation of a witness or victim, obstruction of justice and prostitution.
The charges follow a lengthy investigation by Pennsylvania State Police and a state-empaneled grand jury, and stem from allegations made by five women who were clients of Salsman when he was an attorney in private practice.
Salsman did not enter a plea at his initial arraignment Wednesday in Magisterial District Court in Towanda, and was released after bail was set at $500,000 and he posted a 10% surety bond of $50,000.
