Probation given in harassment case

Cmor takes plea deal in alleged stalking incidents

A regional freelance journalist was sentenced Monday in Clearfield County court on charges of disorderly conduct after being accused of stalking and harassment.

In a plea deal reached late last year, Philip Cmor, 57, of Glasgow, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and two summary counts of disorderly conduct. He was facing misdemeanor charges of stalking and harassment after two female victims said he repeatedly sent them unwanted gifts and messages.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, the two women, both Clearfield County employees, reported the alleged harassment on April 22, 2024. One of the women said the harassment began as early as 2016, when she was still in high school. One of the victims also said Cmor professed his love to her.

The women provided police with nearly 40 emails, text messages, social media posts, photos and screenshots, according to the report.

On the two misdemeanor charges, President Judge Fredric J. Ammerman sentenced Cmor to serve one year of probation each, to be served consecutively, and fined him $1,000 plus court costs for each of the charges.

Ammerman sentenced Cmor to serve 90 days of probation each, to be served consecutively, on the two summary charges, and fined him $300 for each of the summary offenses plus court costs. Cmor’s total sentence is two years plus 180 days of probation and $2,600 in fines plus court costs.

According to Ammerman’s order, Cmor to have no contact with the victims, is prohibited from possessing or consuming alcohol or controlled substances and is prohibited from entering any bars.

Cmor was employed for a number of years at the Altoona Mirror before resigning in 2018.
