Beyond charges of burglary, theft, and criminal mischief, Gorczycki was changed with a parole violation.

Gorczycki was convicted in 2002 for sexual assault against two juvenile females. The registered sex offender has been cited numerous times for parole offenses, including in 2018, when he failed to inform officials that he had changed addresses.
