On Nov. 4, a jury found 36-year-old Clement Swaby guilty of rape, burglary, and over 20 related charges in three separate incidents in the Bethlehem and Easton areas.

In all cases, female victims said a man later identified as Swaby entered their bedrooms with a knife. In one case he sexually assaulted the victim, in others he threatened sexual assault or, in a case of roommates, commanded the women to perform sexual acts on each other.

The victims also reported cash and cards were stolen before the attacker fled.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Tatum Wilson successfully prosecuted Swaby, of Bethlehem, and received a guilty verdict on all 26 charges. Swaby faces a maximum state prison sentence of 269 years.

Through extensive investigation, review of multiple surveillance cameras, and DNA testing, it was determined Clement Swaby was the actor who allegedly committed these crimes.

“Today’s verdict will give these five women their first restful night of sleep since the incidents occurred,” Wilson said.

Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 22 at 10 a.m. in Courtroom 1 with Judge __?__ Koury.
