ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 26th day of November, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:
(1) Whether the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, citing the case of
Commonwealth v. Magliocco, 883 A.2d 479 (Pa. 2005), properly held the
language “in violation of Chapter 31” is an essential element necessary for
a conviction of Corruption of Minors as a felony of the third degree[.]
(2) Whether the evidence was sufficient for a conviction of Corruption of Minors
as a felony of the third degree despite the jury’s acquittal of Rape, Sexual
Assault, Aggravated Indecent Assault and Indecent Assault[.]
