A Tobyhanna man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a Wilkes University dorm room several years ago was convicted at trial this week of misdemeanor sex offenses.

The jury deliberated for a little less than four hours Tuesday evening before finding Khylen Rasul Shoffner, 28, guilty on misdemeanor counts of indecent assault of an unconscious person, indecent assault without consent, indecent exposure and harassment.

Jurors deadlocked on the most serious charges Shoffner faced, aggravated indecent assault and another felony count of indecent assault.
