The Berks County District Attorney’s office has filed statutory sexual assault charges against a man who is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl during a church function in Sinking Spring more than 10 years ago.
Police filed charges against Jonathan Scott Buchanan, 34, Thursday.
In October, detectives within the DA’s office launched an investigation after receiving a sexual assault complaint left on an abuse hotline and a report filed with the Berks County Department of Children and Youth Services.
Detectives learned that a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in October of 2006, as she participated in a show production put on by her church, the DA’s office said.
Buchanan, who was about 25-years-old at the time, assisted with a dress rehearsal the day the incidents occurred, according to the DA.
