Chad Salsman, the former Bradford County District Attorney in Pennsylvania who pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution and obstruction of justice charges, will spend up to five years in a state prison.
The sentencing Friday in Bradford County Court came after Salsman pleaded guilty in May to a felony count of promoting prostitution, along with misdemeanor counts of intimidation of victims and obstruction of justice. Salsman will spend at least 1½ years behind bars, followed by 72 months of supervised release whenever he gets out of prison.
Salsman, who resigned after pleading guilty, was arrested in early February after a year-long investigation by Pennsylvania State Police, who built their case on stories from five accusers, most of whom claimed Salsman assaulted them on his law office desk in lieu of his legal fees.

Formerly incarcerated person-turned-activist and the first-ever Bail Navigator for the Defender Association of Philadelphia, a position to help those arrested navigate the bail review system.
Prior to joining the Defender Association, Myers’s life was upended while she sat in jail saddled with a $1,500 bail that she couldn’t afford to pay. She’d been in and out of the system for much of her life, but the issue of unaffordable bail and pretrial incarceration turned her onto activism.
Gave out what she called the Probation Awards, a ceremony recognizing people “doing their best to do good, but living under constant threat of incarceration.”

A judge should have experience in the court room | Opinion
Posted May 11, 2021
By Michelle Sibert
As a prosecutor, I strive to seek justice, respond with compassion, uphold victims’ rights, and advocate for those who cannot do so for themselves. As judge, I promise to use my experience as a trial attorney to assure that everyone in my courtroom is afforded a fair opportunity to be heard and treated with respect. I promise to follow the law and abide by the PA and U.S. Constitutions.
My name is Michelle Sibert, and I am running for Judge for the Court of Common Pleas here in Cumberland County. Dickinson School of Law brought me to Cumberland County in 1995, and for over 20 years I have served the residents of Cumberland County. My family and I serve our Country, our State, our County, and our Community. My husband of 20 years, Craig Sibert, served our Country as a United States Marine, and he currently serves this Commonwealth as a State Parole Officer.
