Town of Maine man pleads guilty to fleeing the scene of a fatal accident, attempted rape
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A Town of Maine man was convicted in Broome County Court on Wednesday of fleeing the scene after killing a man as well as attempting to have sex with a minor. District Attorney Paul Battisti announced on Friday that 21-year-old Christian Rogler pleaded guilty to Leaving the Scene of a Fatal Accident and Attempted Rape in the First Degree. Rogler's guilty plea stems from two separate incidents. In September 2024, in the Town of Dickinson, Rodler struck and killed Jamel Smalls of Binghamton. He fled the scene of the crash and was later located and arrested at his residence in the Town of Maine. For this crime, he will be sentenced to 2 and 1/3 to 7 years in New York State Prison, which is the maximum sentence allowable under the law. Additionally, in late 2021, Rogler attempted to sexually assault an underage person in the Village of Johnson City. As part of his plea, he will receive 3 and ½ years in New York State Prison, followed by 10 years of post-release supervision. Rogler is also required to register as a sex offender. A final no-contact order of protection will be issued for the victim. 'The victims and their families have endured unimaginable pain and loss as a result of Rogler's reckless and predatory behavior. His actions, fleeing the scene of a fatal accident and committing a heinous, deplorable act against an innocent victim, are nothing short of appalling. While no sentence can undo the harm caused, we hope today's plea brings some sense of justice and closure to those affected. We remain committed to holding individuals like Rogler fully accountable for their actions and ensuring they face the consequences of their crimes,' said Battisti. Sentencing is scheduled for May 28. Both sentences will run concurrently.

Binghamton St. Patrick's Day Parade is almost here
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – One of Binghamton's biggest events of the year will take to the streets this weekend to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. This Saturday is the first day of March, and the City of Binghamton's annual Saint Patty's Day Parade. Binghamton's Mayor Jared Kraham held a news conference Thursday afternoon alongside the parade's planning committee. The parade itself begins at 1:30 at the corner of Fayette and Court Street and continues down Court Street. The parade route is just about a mile in total. There will be bagpipers, Irish dancers, decorative floats, pipe bands, and after five years, the return of the Avalon String Band from Philadelphia. Kraham says, especially with the recent death of the Binghamton Firefighter, JR Gaudet, the parade brings the community together unlike anything else. Binghamton DPW prepares parade route for Saturday 'When the parade happens this year, and the Binghamton Fire Department are marching through the streets, I want to make sure that every member of our community shows them support, shows them our love, our dedication and lets them know, even though it's been a very dark time, it's been a very difficult time, this community has their back,' said Kraham. There are festivities all day long, including the annual post parade party at Seton Catholic Central. Kraham reiterated that the event is family friendly, and that Binghamton Police will be stationed along the parade route for safety.
