Police in Pennsylvania say a church worker who was arrested on Wednesday for raping a woman in the church “for hours” had also been sought for sexually assaulting a young girl over a period of about three years.
According to Upper Darby Police, 48-year-old Troy Posey had invited a 19-year-old girl into Bethel Community Baptist Church after she missed the last train or bus home.
“Turns out it was hell. It wasn’t a safe haven. It was hell,” Upper Darby Superintendent Michael Chitwood told WTXF. “She says she falls asleep on the couch, a short [time later] she feels her pants being tugged, and the next thing you know the guy’s on top of her.”
After the woman reported that she was raped last week, police determined that the suspect was Posey, and that he had also been wanted for sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl until she was 12 years old. She was the daughter of Posey’s girlfriend at the time.
He had been sought since 2012 in that case, but had managed to evade capture.
