Aliquippa Man Sentenced For Child Rape, Pornography

An Aliquippa man who pleaded guilty to child rape and production of child pornography has been sentenced to 59 to 118 years in prison. Washington County Judge Gary Gilman imposed the sentence on 25-year-old Michael John Bickel of Aliquippa, after an investigation by the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office found he sexually abused three boys for as many as four years and videotaped some of the abuse with his cell phone. Bickel was arrested in March 2015 and charged with more than 200 counts of child rape and child pornography. Agents said at the time that he had disseminated more than 100 images of child pornography. The victims of his assaults were between the ages of 7 and 12 at the time.
