Sex Offender Has New Victim, Police Say

A West Easton already serving state prison time for sex crimes against children is facing new charges.

Robert Repsher, 61, of Palmer Street, was charged Tuesday with criminal attempt to commit involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, criminal solicitation to commit involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, indecent exposure, and criminal attempt to commit indecent assault.

Repsher is already in state prison for a previous child sex conviction, police said. He was arraigned via video by District Judge Richard Yetter.

Repsher was sentenced to state prison last year in prison for sexually assaulting two girls over a period of several years, the Express-Times says.
