(1) Whether the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, citing the case of Commonwealth v. Magliocco, 883 A.2d 479 (Pa. 2005), properly held the language “in violation of Chapter 31” is an essential element necessary for a conviction of Corruption of Minors as a felony of the third degree[.]

(2) Whether the evidence was sufficient for a conviction of Corruption of Minors as a felony of the third degree despite the jury’s acquittal of Rape, Sexual Assault, Aggravated Indecent Assault and Indecent Assault[.]
