LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — A Lancaster County man was convicted of raping and sexually abusing two minors in Manor Township between 1995 and 2000 and a third minor from 2014 to 2021.
George Pfeiffer, 64, was found guilty by a jury following a three-day trial, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office. He was found guilty by a jury of 30 sexual abuse charges including 15 first-degree felonies.
The jury deliberated for one and a half hours before returning the guilty verdict.
Assistant District Attorney Fritz Haverstick prosecuted the case and stated that this was the older sex offense case tried in Lancaster County.
“(The first two victims) waited nearly 30 years for this day, but they never really thought it would happen,” Haverstick said. “They would have taken (Pfeiffer’s) sick secret to their graves, but he could not stop sexually abusing children.”
In total, Pfeiffer was convicted of:
-seven counts of rape
-four counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse
-three counts of unlawful contact with a minor
-six counts of aggravated indecent assault
-four counts of sexual assault
-three counts of corruption of minors
-three counts of indecent assault
Pfeiffer sexually abused the first victim from when they were 15 years old until they were 21 and when the second victim was approximately 11 years old until they were 17 starting in 1995 through 2002.
The third victim was abused starting at 7 years old and disclosed the abuse to the first victim when she was 14 in 2021. The first two victims were then disclosed.
