Man admits sex assault of teen girls
NORRISTOWN » A 51-year-old Limerick man admitted he had sexual or indecent contact with two teenage Pottstown girls and was sent to jail to await his fate.
David Andrew Boyd, of the 200 block of Neiffer Road, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court to felony charges of statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault and corruption of minors in connection with his contact with two girls, ages 15 and 17, between August and September 2016.
Judge Gail A. Weilheimer de-
ferred sentencing so that Boyd can undergo a psychosexual evaluation. The judge ordered that Boyd be remanded to the county jail without bail to await his sentencing hearing.
Boyd faces at least a decade in prison on the charges.
Boyd, who court documents indicated owned an area painting business, also faces an evaluation by the Pennsylvania Sexual Offenders Assessment Board, which will determine if he meets criteria to be classified as a sexually violent predator. Those classified as predators face more stringent restrictions under state law, including mandatory counseling and community notification about their living arrangements when they are released from prison.
Regardless the outcome of the evaluation, as a result of the conviction, Boyd, who was 50 years old at the time of the incidents, faces a lifetime requirement to report his address to state police.
With the charges, detectives alleged Boyd had various sexual contact with both girls on multiple occasions. Court documents indicate Boyd knew the girls’ families.
An investigation of Boyd began in September 2016 when someone who knew the girls notified police about the sexual assaults. Detectives uncovered cellphone communications that Boyd had with both girls, sexually charged text messages that revealed the sexual contact, according to the criminal complaint filed by Pottstown Detective Brooke Fisher.
“Are you going to be good to me tonight?” Boyd wrote to the 17 year old girl, also advising her to delete their conversations “just in case.”
The 17-year-old girl told detectives Boyd had inappropriate sexual or indecent contact with her on three separate occasions during the summer of 2016, according to court documents.
In a text message to the 15-year-old girl Boyd sent a photograph that showed 52 sexual positions and indicated his favorite sexual positions, according to court documents.
The investigation determined Boyd picked up the 15-year-old girl in Pottstown and took her to a Berks County hotel on several occasions and had sexual contact with the girl there. The girl told detectives she was “scared and hesitant with everything” but “Boyd would say it was okay and continue,” according to the arrest affidavit.
