COCHRANTON, Pa. (EYT) — A 35-year-old Polk woman and an 18-year-old Clintonville man are facing charges after they and seven juveniles allegedly struck and kicked a man who had stored inappropriate photographs on his cell phone.

According to court documents, Cochranton Borough Police Department filed criminal charges against Bradley Ira Simmons, of Clintonville, and 35-year-old Jolene N. Webber, of Polk.

According to a criminal complaint, on August 14, 2016, the Cochranton Police Department was contacted in reference to an assault that occurred sometime between 12:15 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. on Race Street, in Cochranton Borough.

The Cochranton Police Department interviewed nine subjects and one victim.

During the investigation, it was learned that a 17-year-old female juvenile communicated with the known male victim via Snapchap and Facebook to arrange a meeting at the Cochranton Borough Lions Park.

The 17-year-old female also communicated with 18-year-old Bradley Simmons, of Clintonville, and other juveniles ages 14 to 17 and that “the purpose for this meeting was to retrieve the victim’s telephone and delete alleged inappropriate photographs of her as well as several other juvenile females that the victim allegedly had stored on the device.”

Around 12:15 a.m. on August 14, the victim arrived at the Cochranton Lions Park to meet with the 17-year-old female. Three other juveniles and Bradley Simmons were hiding at the Cochranton Lions Park. The 17-year-old female “asked the victim for a hug in the middle of the pavilion and locked her arms around him until she signaled the coordinated group to restrain the victim. The victim was physically restrained while the 17-year-old female removed approximately $25.00 and the victim’s cell phone from his pocket. She placed the cash inside her bra and then questioned the victim while he was being physically restrained for the passwords to his cell phone and all his social media accounts, including but not limited to Snapchat and Facebook,” according to the complaint.

During the interview, the 17-year-old female stated that “she deleted all the content she observed as well as every social media and email account that she could gain access to on the victim’s cell phone. She then factory reset the telephone belonging to the victim,” the complaint continues.

Several minutes later, two other juveniles arrived at the Cochranton Lions Park. Prior to this point, the victim was not physically assaulted but restrained from movement. These juveniles began to strike the victim along with the majority of the other juveniles who were present, including Bradley Simmons, who allegedly kicked the victim in the back of the head with a bare foot, the complaint states.

Several minutes later, 35-year-old Jolene Webber, of Polk, arrived at the Cochranton Lions Park. Webber allegedly had in her possession “a miniature sledge hammer, channel locks, and a miniature wooden bat. Webber advised the juveniles that they were highly visible and directed them…into the woods,” the complaint indicates.

Brad Simmons, Jolene Webber, and two juveniles allegedly carried and dragged the victim to the woods, advising him that “if he were a (expletive), he would be hanging from a tree,” according to the complaint.

The complaint states that at the edge of the woods, the victim vomited on Brad Simmons due to his injuries. Brad Simmons allegedly dropped the victim, causing the victim to take another impact to the head. The victim stated that “Jolene Webber swung the miniature sledge hammer, nearly striking him in the face.”

“Upon arriving to the wooded area in the area of Route 322 beside Sugar Creek, the victim was beaten and choked with his shirt,” the complaint continues.

Webber also allegedly threatened to drown the victim while he was being restrained beside the creek, according to the complaint.

Around 2:00 a.m., Jolene Webber and a juvenile exited the woods. Shortly afterwards, Brad Simmons and a juvenile returned the victim to the Cochranton Lions Park. He was told that if he attempted to run, another person was currently in the truss roof area of the pavilion and would get him. The victim was also advised that if he went to the police, they “would get him and his family,” the complaint states.

Brad Simmons and the juvenile returned to the juvenile’s residence and spoke to Jolene Webber, who asked where the victim was. They advised her that “the victim was at the Cochranton Lions Park and was told not to move. Webber was displeased, so Simmons and the juvenile returned to the park and observed that the victim was gone,” according to the complaint.
