Hi - I'm Guy. I am an attorney that practices in Pennsylvania. I am a former sex crimes prosecutor and my day-to-day cases are almost exclusively helping survivors of sexual abuse get justice. My team and I are ready to help.
In a deeply disturbing case out of Perry County, Pennsylvania, 57-year-old James Sarver of Newport has been arrested and charged with the sexual abuse of two minors in PA. The allegations paint a horrifying picture of child exploitation and highlight the critical need for vigilance and support in our communities.
According to state police reports, Sarver is accused of sexually abusing two children between May and July of this year. The victims, aged 13 and 10, provided harrowing accounts of their experiences during multiple interviews with law enforcement.
Alleged Assault: The 13-year-old victim reported that Sarver raped her while the 10-year-old was forced to watch. Both children stated they screamed for Sarver to stop, but he continued the assault.
Threats to Second Victim: In a chilling detail, Sarver allegedly told the younger child "You're next" while abusing the older victim, as documented in the affidavit of probable cause.
The charges against Sarver are extremely serious and carry severe penalties under Pennsylvania law. Child sexual abuse cases are prosecuted vigorously, and if convicted, Sarver could face substantial prison time.
The trauma inflicted on these young victims cannot be overstated. Child sexual abuse can have long-lasting psychological, emotional, and physical effects. It's crucial that these children receive immediate and ongoing support and counseling.
Cases like this often shake communities to their core. It's important for Perry County residents to come together to support the victims and their families while also taking steps to prevent future incidents of child abuse.
Guy D'Andrea, Esq., a seasoned attorney with Abuse Guardians, offers his perspective on this case: "The allegations against James Sarver are deeply troubling and, if proven true, represent a grave betrayal of trust and a heinous crime against the most vulnerable members of our society. In cases like these, it's crucial that the legal process is thorough and that the rights of the accused are balanced with the pursuit of justice for the victims. As an attorney who has worked with survivors of abuse, I cannot stress enough the importance of providing comprehensive support to these young victims. The road to healing is long, but with proper legal advocacy and mental health support, survivors can reclaim their lives. It's also a stark reminder of the need for continued education and awareness about child sexual abuse in our communities. We must all remain vigilant and create environments where children feel safe to speak up if they're being harmed."
