Philadelphia man sentenced for disseminating intimate images of Upper Moreland woman

Police: Marc Gorski sent images to victim's family and friends

NORRISTOWN >> A Philadelphia man faces probation, community service and anger management counseling after he admitted to sending intimate photos of an Upper Moreland woman to her family and friends after their relationship ended.

Marc Adam Gorski, 25, of the 3800 block of Kipling Place, was sentenced in Montgomery County Court to two years’ probation and 50 hours of community service after he pleaded guilty to charges of unlawful dissemination of intimate images and harassment in connection with incidents that occurred in February 2020.

Judge Risa Vetri Ferman also ordered Gorski to complete anger management and domestic violence counseling programs as conditions of the sentence.

The judge said Gorski must delete all images and videos he has of the victim on his electronic devices. Furthermore, the judge said probation officials may examine all of Gorski’s devices to verify that he has followed the court order.

Gorski, who was represented by defense lawyer George Griffith Jr., will undergo drug, alcohol and mental health evaluations and must comply with any recommendations for treatment, the judge added.

An investigation began on Feb. 21, 2020, when an Upper Moreland woman contacted township police to report that Gorski, with whom she had a previous relationship, sent two intimate photos of her to her family and friends, according to the criminal complaint filed by Upper Moreland Police Officer Andrew Clauhs.

“She told me that Gorski had been threatening to send them if she did not speak with him,” Clauhs wrote in the arrest affidavit, adding the woman’s friendship with Gorski ended in 2019. “This harassing communication was made by cellphone calls and text messages.”

Gorski sent the photos to the victim’s family and friends, accompanied by messages that contained disparaging remarks, police said.

“All parties who received the photos were upset and felt harassed,” Clauhs added.
