Cumberland County man’s appeal of jail term in 30-year-old child-sex case denied by Pa. court
Updated Jan 26, 2021;
A Cumberland County man convicted in a 30-year-old child-sex case has failed to convince a state appeals court panel that he shouldn’t have been sentenced to prison as an adult for crimes he committed when he was a child.
The Superior Court decision means Herman Armolt Jr, now 43, must keep serving a 4- to 8-year jail term a county judge imposed a year ago after a jury convicted the Shippensburg-area man of charges including aggravated indecent assault.
Investigators arrested Armolt in 2018 after the victim in the case told them he had molested her between 1990 and 1994. Armolt would have been 12 years old when that abuse began.

Rashad Heard did both of those things, and considerably more, during his court hearing.
A state Superior Court panel has decided the 31-year-old Philadelphia man richly deserves the 6-month prison term he received in return after the robed target of his abuse found him in contempt.
As President Judge Emeritus Correale F. Stevens noted in the state court’s opinion, Heard’s outbursts occurred during his March 2019 preliminary hearing before Philadelphia Municipal Court Judge Wendy L. Pew on a murder charge.
