Child Sex Charges Filed Against Former Mayor in Pennsylvania
Three new accusers led Pennsylvania State Police to file additional sexual assault and child exploitation charges, bringing the case to at least four alleged victims.
- Former Gettysburg Mayor Chad-Alan Carr, 48, faces new felony sexual assault and corruption of minors charges after three additional victims came forward, authorities said on Wednesday. Pennsylvania State Police arrested Carr in Anderson County, Texas, where he remains in custody.
- These accusations emerged after Adams County District Attorney Brian Sinnett held a March 13 press conference announcing Carr's initial arrest. Following that public notice, three individuals contacted police with similar allegations within days.
- One victim reported meeting Carr at the Eichelberger Performing Arts Center when he was 15, while another alleged Carr assaulted him at age 23. A third victim claimed Carr sexually assaulted him in 2015 after meeting on the dating app Grindr.
- Eichelberger Performing Arts Center Executive Director David Adler stated the organization will "fully cooperate with the investigation" and review child protection policies. Adams County Sheriff Joshua Fitting praised his Warrant Apprehension Unit's role in locating suspects.
- Carr, who resigned as mayor in early March, remains jailed in Texas pending extradition to Pennsylvania. He faces an April 16 arraignment on previous charges, while court dates for the new allegations remain unset.
