Quote:
"A former Penn State Hazleton professor accused of making sexual advances toward a female student was found guilty Tuesday of two counts of indecent assault. Jurors found Shrikrishna Singh fondled the 18-year-old woman on two occasions in April 1996, but acquitted him of a third count of indecent assault lodged for a separate alleged incident the same month. The woman claimed Singh, her chemistry professor, lured her to his home
under the pretense of helping her with her class work. Singh...was fired by Penn State last year."
