Child Rape Charges Bound to Court
A Bradford man accused of raping a girl younger than 13 is still in jail following his preliminary hearing in front of District Judge Dom Cercone on Wednesday.
20-year-old William Tompkins Jr. is charged with rape of a child, rape by forcible compulsion, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, aggravated indecent assault of a child and indecent assault.
Papers filed in Cercone’s office say between 12:30 and 2 a.m. on October 17 Tompkins had sex with the girl in her West Washington Street home, left out her second-story bedroom window, went onto the porch roof and climbed down.
On March 8, police learned that DNA taken from Tompkins matched DNA taken from the victim at BRMC on the night of the alleged assault.
Cercone bound the charges to court. Tompkins’ bail is set at $25,000.
