NJ man guilty of sex with Pa. teen met on Web
Criminal Law
A New Jersey man faces up to 40 years in prison when he's sentenced for twice traveling to western Pennsylvania to have sex with a teenage girl he met on the Internet.
Twenty-nine-year-old Andrew Luko, of Bridgeton, N.J. pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts each of statutory sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault.
Cambria County prosecutors say Luko came to Pennsylvania twice in 2007 to have sex with the Johnstown-area girl in motels. She was 14 when he first visited in March of that year, and she had turned 15 by the time he visited for three days that July.
Police tracked Luko using motel records and his vehicle registration.

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.
