(Beaver County, PA) A man from Beaver County who was arrested on August 2nd, 2024 in a police standoff in Maryland on accusations that he sexually assaulted a local boy is waiting for his sentencing.

A date for sentencing will be determined for forty-eight-year-old Jack Edgar Primmer of Freedom, who was found guilty on Friday on 34 charges, which included creation of child pornography, indecent assault and rape.

Primmer faces possible decades in jail on charges that also include corruption of a minor and possession of child pornography.

He was already a registered sex offender and was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy at his Beaver County home in 2022 and 2023.

Police also stated that they found child pornography videos on his laptop computer.

Police tracked Primmer to Frederick, Maryland, and they tried to take him into custody on August 2nd, 2024, but Primmer barricaded himself in a Super 8 hotel room and told officers that he had a gun.

According to a report from the Beaver County Times, shots were fired during the incident and Primmer was treated at a hospital in Baltimore for wounds before he was extradited to Pennsylvania.
