Judge Calls Rape Case 'Most Hideous'
Erie County Judge Lindley McClelland sentenced William Sharp, 33, of Erie to 7 1/2 to 19 years in state prison for the June 7, 1976 rape of a westside woman. Sharp climbed through a bedroom window and raped the woman at knifepoint while her husband slept nearby. The judge called the crime one of the most hideous and revolting he had encountered. Sharp’s burglary conviction awaits sentencing and an appeal is planned by defense counsel Dennis Williams.

County Trims $700000 From Child Agency Budget
Erie County Budget Director Joseph Schmitt cut about $700,000 from the $900,000 proposed 1978 raise for Children's Services, bringing the department to a $1 million request. He notes the county funds a $5.1 million program with roughly $4.1 million state aid. The plan reduces new employees from 34 to 14, shifts toward state reimbursable positions, drops a juvenile treatment center, and prefers a foster home approach for runaways with higher payments to operators. The budget remains tentative pending commission approval, with no real estate tax increase needed to balance about $20 million general fund and $5 million Mental Health program.
