Pennsylvania Man Abuses 4 Girls Over Years: District Attorney

An eastern Pennsylvania man abused four girls over a series of years, according to the Berks County District Attorney's Child Abuse Unit.

Detectives charged Jerry Negron, 36, with multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, sexual assault and corruption of minors.

During the DA's office investigation, detectives discovered that the girls, aged 7 to 15, were allegedly sexually abused by Negron from 2005 to 2015.

The Children's Alliance Center assisted with the investigation by interviewing the girls, who investigators said are all related.

The victims revealed that Negron sexually abused them at different locations in Mt. Penn Borough, Lower Alsace Township and Blue Marsh Lake, said investigators.

A judge arraigned Negron Friday afternoon and sent the Reading man to Berks County Jail after he wasn't able to post $250,000 bail, said court records.
