Former Gettysburg mayor in custody, state police say

On March 13, 2026, Chad-Alan Carr was taken into custody, charged with multiple counts, and held at Adams County Prison after failing to post $100K bail, with a hearing scheduled for March 20.
State police say a Childline report on Feb. 24 prompted the probe after the alleged victim said he first knew Carr at age 8 and later worked with him in theater starting at 14, with messages moving to Skype described as 'late night talks' during 2012–2013.
Investigators say the affidavit documents at least three Skype calls where Carr instructed the teen on sex acts and the pair exchanged sexually explicit photos and videos.
Gettysburg Borough Council accepted Carr's resignation last week, and Gettysburg Borough Council President Matt Moon took over after Carr's campaign manager said he admitted the allegations.
Authorities urged other potential victims to call 717-334-8111 or 800-472-8477; Carr founded the Gettysburg Community Theater and co-founded Gettysburg Pride, heightening local concern.
