	Sentencing Delayed for Spiritual Leader By Pete Shellem Pennlive [Pennsylvania] June 1, 2007 http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/news/118066112971000.xml&coll=1 Sentencing for a Susquehanna Twp. spiritual leader who was convicted of soliciting sex over the Internet from what he believed were 12-year-old girls was postponed yesterday because of his medical condition. Dauphin County Judge Bruce S. Bratton granted a continuance to Steven Jacob Mojecki to Aug. 28 after Mojecki's attorney, Sanford Krevsky, said his client was undergoing chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma and his immune system had been affected. Mojecki was wearing a surgical mask at the proceeding and carrying a resealable bag full of prescription medicines. Deputy Attorney General Anthony Forray told Bratton he believed Mojecki was a danger to the community and should have been sentenced. He said Mojecki is facing the possibility of at least 5 years in prison if Bratton follows state sentencing guidelines. Bratton tightened up Mojecki's bail restrictions, placing him on house arrest until the sentencing. Mojecki, 46, is a co-founder of the Messianic Synagogue Beit HaShem, a group that follows Jewish traditions but believes that Jesus is the messiah. It is not affiliated with local Jewish organizations. He was working as a computer technician at Harrisburg Area Community College when he contacted an agent of the attorney general's office who was posing as a 12-year-old girl and asked for sex.
