ALLENTOWN, Pa. – More charges have been filed against a former Allentown police officer already accused of breaking the law while wearing a badge.<\/p>\n
Our cameras were there when the former vice officer turned himself in to authorities.<\/p>\n
According to court records,\u00a047-year-old Jason Krasley\u00a0is faces three new sets of charges involving three new alleged victims. The charges include rape, involuntary servitude, sexual assault, and patronizing prostitutes.<\/p>\n
Krasley already faces very serious charges that could result in him spending the rest of his life behind bars. Krasley is out on bail.<\/p>\n
Krasley hugged his wife and kids goodbye moments before being taken into custody a third time Thursday.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Both men are now facing a multitude of charges, including rape, involuntary servitude, and kidnapping.<\/p>\n
If convicted of the more serious charges, Krasley and Weaver could face up to life in prison and lose their pensions.<\/p>\n
Weaver was put on leave. Krasley retired from the APD in 2021.<\/p>\n
Krasley is out on 10 percent of $100,000 bail.<\/p>\n
He and Weaver are supposed to have a bail reset hearing for the previous charges against them in February.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – More charges have been filed against a former Allentown police officer already accused of breaking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[214,119,121,120,232,31],"class_list":["post-152397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-allentown-area","tag-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
