    WILKES-BARRE — A Bear Creek Township man charged by Jenkins Township police on allegations he solicited a 15-year-old girl for sex pleaded guilty in Luzerne County Court on Monday.

    Michael John Klutchko, 32, of Gaffney Drive, was confronted by a cooperating witness when he arrived at a location in Jenkins Township under the belief he was meeting the girl on Jan. 4, 2023, according to court records.

    The cooperating witness was not named in court records.

    Court records say Klutchko began conversing online with the girl and was told several times he was communicating with a girl who was “almost 16.”

    Klutchko pleaded guilty to criminal attempt to commit unlawful contact with a minor and criminal use of communication facility before Judge Joseph F. Sklarosky Jr.

    Klutchko remains free on bail and is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 2.
