MARION TWP — A Connoquenessing Township man was arrested Friday on charges he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl last year.

Tyler B. Fusaro-Podobensky, 21, was arrested on charges of statutory sexual assault, corruption of minors and indecent assault of a person less than 16 years old. Police said the alleged assault occurred in November 2014 while Fusaro-Podobensky was staying with the victim’s family.

The victim told police he stayed with the family for a couple of days because he had no place to live and was hungry, according to court documents.

The criminal complaint said the girl was in her bedroom one evening when Fusaro-Podobensky, who was 20 at the time, entered the room and asked her to have sex with him.

The victim told investigators she said no but “he pretty much did it anyway,” documents said.

Police said Fusaro-Podobensky allegedly held the victim down and that she did not yell because she was afraid of what her father would do.

When interviewed by police in July, Fusaro-Podobensky confirmed he lived with the family for a short time and stated he had consensual sexual intercourse with the girl once.

Charges were filed against him on Oct. 19. He was arrested Friday and placed in Butler County Prison on $30,000 bail.
