September 12, 2022. Dan Gleiter | dgleiter@pennlive.comBrad Koplinski, an attorney who was released from state prison in December 2024 after serving 14 to 30 months, has been on a temporary suspension from the bar since his 2022 arrest. He agreed to the five-year punishment, according to a petition filed Friday in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Koplinski, 56, requested that his license be temporarily suspended after his arrest, according to court documents. “ is remorseful for his misconduct and understands he should be disciplined,” the petition for his suspension said. The five-year suspension retroactively began at the time of his temporary suspension in August 2022, meaning Koplinski is eligible to try to regain his law license in 2027. At that time, he’ll have to file a petition for reinstatement and prove to the court that he has skills and moral qualifications to be an attorney. Koplinski was arrested in 2020 after an investigation by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children identified 36 instances of someone uploading photos of child porn or child erotica to the Internet. Court documents said Koplinski admitted to a detective he used his laptop and thumb drives to upload the suspected child porn and child erotica.Koplinski entered an open guilty plea in June 2022 for 15 offenses and was sentenced in September of that year. In addition to prison time, he was ordered to register as a sex offender through Megan’s Law for 15 years.. “I thought the rules didn’t apply to me. I wasn’t special, and I wasn’t smarter than anyone else.” Koplinski now works full-time for Better Life Plans, a credit card debt negotiation firm based in Michigan. He attended Alcoholics Anonymous classes in prison, as well as a sex offender treatment program and a monthly support group, according to the petition filed Friday. At the time of his sentencing, he was attending a 12-step program for sex addicts. He said he’s also sought inpatient treatment and attended sex addicts anonymous sessions.
