SUNBURY - A 21-year-old Sunbury man has been charged with having sexual intercourse with two 14-year-old girls at his residence.
Joe White, of 700 Susquehanna Ave., is in Northumberland County Prison in lieu of $75,000 cash bail after being arraigned on two felony counts of statutory sexual assault and corruption of minors, and two misdemeanor counts of indecent assault.
The charges were filed by Sunbury Sgt. Christopher Blase.
Police received a report Sunday from a friend of White who heard the defendant admit that he had sexual intercourse with two young girls. Through interviews, police learned the identity of one of the girls and subsequently interviewed her. During the interview, the teen confirmed the incident and identified the other female involved, who also confirmed that she engaged in sexual intercourse with White.
Both victims said they told White how old they were before the sexual intercourse occurred.
Police said one of the victims is from Sunbury, while the other resides in Paxinos.
