LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. — A Lebanon County man has been arrested and charged with the sexual assault of three young children, Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf announced.
Jason Shirk has been charged with rape of a child, forcible rape and aggravated incident assault relating to contact with three underage victims.
Lebanon County detectives became involved in the investigation of two juveniles in 2022. Since then, a third victim has come forward allegedly that Shirk sexually abused her as well.
All three victims provided statements to police and independent interviewers, alleging the abuse occurred numerous times to each victim while they were in their homes.
Detectives arrested Shirk on Feb. 6. He was arraigned before Magisterial District Justice Warner, with his bail set at $250,000.
“The Defendant faces serious charges for violating and sexually assaulting multiple children. There is a suspicion additional victims exist," DA Hess Graf said. "If you have any information, if you or someone else you know was victimized at the hands of this man, we ask you come forward and contact the Lebanon County Detective Bureau through the Office of the District Attorney."
"Our office will prosecute this Defendant and seek all penalties and consequences available under the
law,” she continued.
