A 79-year-old Warren man awaits sentencing for committing a sex offense against a 17-year-old girl.

Ronald Catalucci appeared in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court on Monday and pleaded guilty to one felony count of gross sexual imposition.

This past December, the Trumbull County Grand Jury handed up a secret indictment charging Catalucci with four counts of gross sexual imposition.

According to the indictment, Catalucci forced the teen to have sexual contact with him in April of last year.

A date for sentencing will be set following the completion of a report by the court.
