Sentencing has been delayed for a former Marysville police officer convicted of sexually assaulting a child and 13 other charges.

Lawyers for Robert J. Pavlovich Jr., 40, of Gettysburg Road in Lower Allen Twp., filed papers in Perry County Court saying they need more time to respond to an evaluation of Pavlovich by the state sexual offenders assessment board and obtain their own experts to refute it, records state.

The board assesses certain convicted sex offenders to determine if they qualify for being required to register as a sexually violent predator.Pavlovich was scheduled to be sentenced on Friday before President Judge Kathy A. Morrow. A new sentencing date has not been scheduled.

In October, a jury found Pavlovich guilty of 10 counts of corruption of minors and one count each of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, unlawful contact with a minor, indecent assault of a child and bribery in official matters after almost ten hours of deliberation.

Pavlovich remained free on $250,000 bail.
