Police Chief Warns of Alleged Sexual Assaults Against Children

Two sex assaults against children are being investigated by Lower Pottsgrove Police.

The Lower Pottsgrove Police Department is investigating two sexual assault cases involving children, according to the Sanatoga Post.

Both incident were reported over the weekend of Sept. 28-29; a 3-year-old child was allegedly assaulted by another child in one report, and a child was allegedly assaulted by an adult relative in a second report.

“It’s sad,” Foltz said at the Lower Pottsgrove Township board meeting on Oct. 7, according to the Post, “but incidents like these are increasing all over the country, and we’re seeing them too.”
