Commonwealth v. Weimer, PICS Case No. 17-1187 (Pa. Super. July 7, 2017) Lazarus, J. (39 pages).

Unlawful contact with a minor conviction should have been graded as a default third-degree felony where jury was not charged to make a finding as to what offense defendant contacted the victim minor with the purpose of committing, thereby precluding a grading of the conviction. Order of the PCRA court affirmed in part and reversed in part.
