HARRISBURG, PA – Attorney General Michelle Henry announced the sentencing of Jarrod Clapper, a 25-year-old former Bedford Area High School employee.

Clapper has been sentenced to 7 to 23 months in prison, with an additional 3 years of probation, following his conviction for sexual assault.

He will also be required to register as a sexual offender for 25 years under the Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA).
