Criminal Law
A Monrovia man pleaded guilty Thursday to using Internet websites like MySpace to lure teenage girls into having sex with him.
Gregory Serrano, 34, pleaded guilty to 20 sex charges involving three teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17.
Prosecutors say Serrano found the teen girls on MySpace and other Web sites, where he posed as a 19-year-old.
He then allegedly phoned them and sent text messages to them to arrange for them to come to his home and have sex.
Serrano has a pending federal cause involving child porn and other charges involving more victims.
He is scheduled for sentencing July 6, and faces up to 20 years in prison.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
