York, PA – Robert Vincent Amorosino, a 66-year-old man from York City, has been arrested and faces a felony stalking charge for his alleged year-long harassment of a woman. Amorosino’s arrest took place on September 8, following numerous complaints reported to the police dating back to September 2022.

According to reports, on the day of his arrest, Amorosino attempted to communicate with the woman through the window of the Prince Street Café, located at 2 W. Market Street. He allegedly knocked on the window and waved at her, prompting the woman to document the incident by taking a photograph and sending it to law enforcement officials.

Prior to this incident, on September 5, Amorosino was spotted leaving a silver spoon and a medallion on the woman’s stoop on West Philadelphia Street. After being questioned by authorities, he reportedly admitted to leaving the items for her, further indicating the extent of his alleged harassment.

The woman had previously filed several harassment complaints against Amorosino, citing incidents on September 27, March 18, June 10, and June 17 of this year. Notably, in September 2022, Amorosino pleaded guilty to a summary harassment charge and was fined $400. In a separate case from March 2023, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge, resulting in a sentence of 59 days in jail, as well as a $1,500 fine.

As part of the court’s earlier rulings, a court order had mandated that Amorosino maintain no contact with the woman. However, despite this order, he continued to engage in behavior that led to his recent charges.

After his latest arrest, Amorosino has had his bail set at $15,000 and is currently held at York County Prison. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on September 22, where further legal proceedings will take place.

Background on Charges

The felony stalking charge against Amorosino carries serious implications. Stalking is characterized by repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, or contact that causes the victim to feel distressed or fearful. In Amorosino’s case, his alleged behaviors over the course of a year culminated in a pattern of harassment that prompted the involvement of law enforcement.

Managing harassment cases requires a multifaceted approach by police and the judicial system to ensure the safety and well-being of victims. This case underscores the challenges victims face when dealing with ongoing harassment and the importance of legal protections in place to mitigate such situations.

Legal Implications

The legal ramifications for Amorosino can be severe, considering his history of harassment charges. Repeat offenses can typically result in stiffer penalties, and the felony classification could lead to significant imprisonment if he is convicted. Additionally, his previous admissions and guilty pleas indicate a troubling pattern of behavior.

Community Impact

Such incidents of harassment within communities raise awareness about safety and the importance of reporting harassment to authorities. Victims are encouraged to keep detailed records of incidents and to seek protection through legal channels, which, in this case, proved to be a necessary step for the victim involved.

Conclusion

As the case progresses, it is crucial to observe how justice will be served in response to the allegations. The upcoming preliminary hearing will play a pivotal role in determining the next steps for both Amorosino and the victim.
