Authorities were looking for a 30-year-old Allentown man on a warrant charging him with felony rape and numerous other crimes in an alleged sexual assault of an unconscious teenager.
Pocono Township police obtained the warrant Thursday for Stephon Fabion Jones, according to court records.
Tips on Jones’s whereabouts may be submitted via the police department’s Crimewatch page.
Township police say a Northampton County traffic stop sparked the investigation into the sexual assault alleged to have occurred on Feb. 14, 2025, at a Poconos resort.
Bushkill Township police about 12 a.m. on April 26 stopped a vehicle driven by Jones with a 16-year-old female passenger, according to a Crimewatch post from Pocono Township police.
Bushkill Township police determined Jones and the juvenile girl “were involved in a relationship” and “the two had possibly spent time together” at the resort on Valentine’s Day 2025.
Pocono Township police say investigators learned Jones and the girl had been seeing each other since she was 15 in the summer of 2024 and that on Feb. 14, 2025, he bought her clothes and rented a room at the resort.
There, Jones allegedly provided the girl with alcoholic beverages and she passed out, according to the Crimewatch post.
“At this time, the defendant began sexually assaulting the victim until she was (awoken) by the assault and advised the defendant to stop, which he did,” police wrote in the post. “The defendant then left the resort and left the victim alone in the room until the next day, when he returned, picked the victim up and drove her home.”
The warrant charges Jones with 14 counts, including felony rape of unconscious victim, rape of substantially impaired person, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, unlawful contact with minor-sexual offenses and corruption of minors.
