Publish date: 2024-05-09

Authorities in Cambria County say a South Fork man is behind bars following an investigation into allegations that he repeatedly sexually assaulted a teenage girl.

Police say officers were notified of the alleged assaults earlier this month after the victim reported being sexually assaulted by 19-year-old William Douglas.

Investigators say the victim recalled multiple incidents where she was reportedly assaulted by Douglas and "forced" to engage in sexual activity.

Police say the victim allegedly recalled feeling "uncomfortable" and repeatedly telling Douglas that she did not want to engage in any sexual acts.

Authorities say, according to the victim, Douglas allegedly filmed one of the alleged assaults and when the victim attempted to delete the video from his phone, she claimed to have found additional videos involving other females engaged in sexual acts.

Police noted that Douglas was reportedly aware of the victim's age.

According to online court records, Douglas was arraigned Friday on various charges, including rape, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and child pornography.

He is being held at the Cambria County Prison on $250,000 bail.
