ALLENTOWN, Pa. – More charges have been filed against a former Allentown police officer already accused of breaking the law while wearing a badge.
Our cameras were there when the former vice officer turned himself in to authorities.
According to court records, 47-year-old Jason Krasley is faces three new sets of charges involving three new alleged victims. The charges include rape, involuntary servitude, sexual assault, and patronizing prostitutes.
Krasley already faces very serious charges that could result in him spending the rest of his life behind bars. Krasley is out on bail.
Krasley hugged his wife and kids goodbye moments before being taken into custody a third time Thursday.
The former vice officer’s legal troubles began this past Nov. 15, when he was arrested for allegedly stealing $5500 of confiscated drug money while on a raid. Then, on January 10 of this year Krasley and another officer, 45-year-old Evan Weaver, were arrested and charged with allegedly raping a prostitute.
Both men are now facing a multitude of charges, including rape, involuntary servitude, and kidnapping.
If convicted of the more serious charges, Krasley and Weaver could face up to life in prison and lose their pensions.
Weaver was put on leave. Krasley retired from the APD in 2021.
Krasley is out on 10 percent of $100,000 bail.
He and Weaver are supposed to have a bail reset hearing for the previous charges against them in February.
The Lehigh County District Attorney wants both men behind bars while they await trial. But an attorney for Krasley says home confinement and electronic monitoring would be more appropriate.
