Mayport Man to Stand Trial in Alleged Assault of Disabled Girl

REDBANK TWP., Pa. (EYT) – A Mayport man facing sexual assault and related charges stemming from an alleged incident that occurred in Redbank Township, Armstrong County, is scheduled to stand trial in February.

According to court records, New Bethlehem Police Department filed criminal charges against 35-year-old Scott Christopher Walker, of Mayport.

On June 9, 2016, Officer Nicole Peck and Chief Scott Ryan, of the New Bethlehem Police Department, responded to a call from Armstrong 911 for a complaint regarding Scott Christopher Walker.

According to a criminal complaint, a known woman reported that “within the last two weeks, Walker had been ‘coming around’ her residence, attempting to talk to her special needs daughter.
