KITTANNING — A 41-year-old Western Pennsylvania man awaiting trial on charges he concealed a 15-year-old girl in an apartment earlier this year has been jailed again on charges that he contacted the girl online and had even begun discussing marriage plans with the girl.

Online court records don’t list an attorney on the new charges filed against Gregory Shaffer of Kittanning. He faces a preliminary hearing Wednesday on charges including soliciting statutory sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor, and criminal use of a computer.

Police say Shaffer and the girl shared more than 700 messages last month, while he was free on bond for the earlier charge.
