A jury found a man guilty of sexually assaulting three young victims over several years following a two-day trial, District Attorney Elizabeth Hirz announced.
Hirz said the jury found Robert Marshall guilty after the trial ended November 6. The victims knew Marshall, according to Hirz.
According to Hirz, the case grew out of two separate investigations by Millcreek Police Detective Brian Henderson and Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Brandon Peterson. Hirz said both investigations uncovered evidence of sexual abuse involving young victims who knew Marshall.
During the trial, each victim described inappropriate sexual contact on different occasions, Hirz said. Hirz said the testimony showed Marshall used his position and opportunities to be alone with the victims.
“These children deserved to feel safe. Instead, Marshall took advantage of his access to them and violated that trust. I commend these victims for having the courage to come forward and testify. Their voices were heard and the jury held him accountable for what he did to them,” District Attorney Elizabeth Hirz said.
Marshall is scheduled to appear before Senior Judge William Cunningham on Dec. 22.
