LANCASTER, Pa. — A central Pennsylvania jury needed less than two hours Wednesday to convict a former Chester County police officer of two dozen counts related to the sexual abuse of four girls.

Michael Archacki, 43, could spend the rest of his life in prison following his conviction in the assaults on victims ages 12 and 13. Archacki, a former South Coatesville police officer and Chester City firefighter, was accused of assaulting the four girls at his Quarryville, Lancaster County, home last year. — AP
