Evan Michael Gusherowski, 23, of Hershey, was sentenced to seven and a half to 17 years in state prison by Lancaster County Judge Dennis Reinaker after pleading guilty to eight sex offenses involving the child, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office.
Gusherowski was 21 when he first contacted the girl on Snapchat in March 2025, telling her he was just 16 years old, investigators said.
The girl, who was 12 at the time, told police Gusherowski sneaked into her Ephrata Township home five times between March and June 2025, where he repeatedly raped and sexually abused her, according to court documents previously obtained by Daily Voice.
Gusherowski pleaded guilty on Sept. 30 to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a person younger than 16, rape of a child, unlawful contact with a minor, statutory sexual assault, two counts of indecent assault, and corruption of minors, prosecutors said.
During his sentencing, Gusherowski did not address the court beyond acknowledging his guilt.
His attorney, however, described his actions as "clearly an inappropriate relationship," according to the district attorney's office.
Snapchat Lies, Soccer Connection Exposed
Gusherowski initially connected with the girl through Snapchat using the username "eviiterallyhim," as Daily Voice previously reported.
He told her he was 16, played soccer, lived minutes from Hersheypark, had a female dog named Olive, and celebrated his birthday on June 2, according to the affidavit of probable cause obtained by Daily Voice in November 2025.
The girl ended their relationship on July 8, 2025, and later searched for Gusherowski online, discovering that he was actually an adult who had played soccer for Lower Dauphin High School, investigators wrote.
She reported the abuse to Ephrata police on Aug. 19, 2025.
The girl also provided investigators with screenshots of messages in which she confronted Gusherowski about pressuring her into sexual activity despite her desire to wait until marriage.
Gusherowski responded, "oh i see" and "im sorry," according to the affidavit.
The girl had given Gusherowski a handmade birthday present — a white paper box decorated with drawings and filled with handwritten notes, investigators said.
A witness later located the gift inside Gusherowski's bedroom and sent the girl a photograph, which she provided to police.
When investigators questioned Gusherowski, he denied knowing the girl, ever visiting Ephrata, or having a Snapchat account, according to court documents.
However, search warrants executed at his residence in October 2025 uncovered Penn State clothing, Lower Dauphin High School soccer memorabilia, and shoes matching descriptions the girl had provided.
Police also confirmed that the family had a female dog named Olive.
Snapchat subscriber records and IP address information linked Gusherowski to the account the girl identified, and digital records showed he added her on March 20, 2025, investigators wrote.
Gusherowski was originally charged in November 2025 and had bail set at $170,000.
Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Lapp prosecuted the case, and Ephrata Borough Police Detective Beth Rivera filed the charges.
