A rape investigation led police to find that a Freedom man took inappropriate and nude photos of residents at a personal-care facility. According to police, 24 year old Zachary L. Dinell was charged June 4 with the sexual assault of an unconscious woman. Police said officers investigating the assault searched Dinell’s phone and found several saved photos that were “obscene and pornographic.” Dinell was charged Friday by New Brighton Area police with 34 counts of invasion of privacy related to all six of the victims and seven counts of possession of pornography of a child, which reflect photos taken of the 14-year-old juvenile. The investigation is continuing.

Attorney General Josh Shapiro today met with a group of survivors of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania.  The meeting took place in the personal office of Attorney General Shapiro in Strawberry Square.

“I met today with a group of brave, strong people who have experienced terrible trauma – sexual abuse at the hands of priests within the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania,” Attorney General Shapiro said. “I listened to their truth. Their stories are powerful and traumatic and I was inspired by their courage.”

“The people of Pennsylvania have the right to hear what I heard today. The voices of these victims, who have held this pain inside themselves for far too long, must not be silenced.”

“My team and I remain focused and committed to ensuring that the Grand Jury report on our investigation into sexual abuse within the Church is released.”
