Two men sentenced in 1998 sexual assault
Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Two men who were arrested nearly 10 years after a woman was sexually attacked in her South Strabane home pleaded guilty and were sentenced yesterday.

Washington County Judge Paul Pozonsky sentenced Robert Marchetti to 71/2 to 20 years and sentenced Frank Zitkovitch to 10 to 20 years.

They attacked a 64-year-old woman on Dec. 31, 1998, but the case went cold until last year.

Mr. Marchetti was required to provide a DNA sample after he was convicted for fatally beating a man in 2007, and it matched evidence saved from the South Strabane crime.
