MONROE TWP., Pa. (EYT) – A Sligo man who is facing charges for allegedly making inappropriate comments to a teenager waived his preliminary hearing this week.

According to court documents, the following charges against 75-year-old Harry Nicholas Billotte, of Sligo, were waived for court on Tuesday, August 21:

– Corruption of Minors, Misdemeanor 1
– Harassment — Course of Conduct W/No Legitimate Purpose, Summary
– Disorderly Conduct Hazardous/Physical Offense, Summary

Charges have been transferred to the Clarion County Court of Common Pleas.

Billotte remains lodged in the Clarion County Jail on $50,000.00 cash bail.

Details of the case:

According to a criminal complaint, around 1:31 p.m. on Saturday, August 4, Trooper Doverspike, of PSP Clarion, was dispatched to a location in Monroe Township, Clarion County, to speak with a 15-year-old girl and her mother regarding an incident. The victim reported that she was approached by a male subject who said inappropriate things to her.

The victim stated that around 1:00 p.m. on August 4, a man drove by her location several times and waived at her while she and her 14-year-old sister were in their yard working a family yard sale. She said the male returned and parked his brown Ford conversion van at the neighbor’s house and walked over to her and began talking to her. The victim described the man as older with a white beard. The man asked her about the yard sale, where the money was going, and how old she was. She replied that she was going to be 16 soon and was saving for a vehicle, the complaint indicates.

The man asked how old her friend was, and she stated that the girl was her sister, and she was 14 years old. The man told the victim that her sister was younger but is taller and has “bigger boobs,” according to the complaint.

According to the victim, the man asked her “if she likes her boobs played with” and made other crude sexual references to her, the complaint states.

The victim said that the man tried to get closer to her to touch her, but she leaned away.

After the victim’s father came into the yard, the man left in his vehicle.

Around 2:00 p.m. on August 4, the victim’s neighbor was interviewed. She stated that she observed a brown van in her driveway and saw an older man walk back to the vehicle from the yard sale and leave. She provided a PA license plate number, and Trooper Doverspike provided the neighbor with a photograph of the registered owner — Harry Billotte — and he was identified as the person who she saw getting in the van in her driveway.

Billotte also faces charges for allegedly impersonating a state constable and sexually assaulting a woman in May of 2018. Those charges were transferred to the Clarion County Court of Common Pleas on Tuesday, August 7.
