A former small-town Pennsylvania police chief has been convicted of raping a child in a case that has languished for years after the victim first came forward in 2012.
The victim of former Weissport police chief Brent Robert Getz, 30, said that he began abusing her when she was six years old and he was 16.
She said it happened hundreds of times, several times a week, until she was 11.
The girl first told her elementary school substitute teacher that Gregory E. Wagner Jr., 31, had raped her. That abuse began when she was four and Wagner was 14.
At one point, she recorded a video of Wagner forcing her to her watch pornography because nobody believed her.
Police revisited the case in 2018. That's when the victim revealed that Getz, Wagner's friend, had also participated. Wagner later implicated Getz.
Authorities have not described the girl's relationship to Wagner.
In addition to the rape count, the jury found Getz, of Lehighton, guilty Thursday of one count each of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child and indecent assault of a child under 12.
His bail was immediately revoked and he was taken to jail. He has not yet been sentenced.
After his 2019 arrest, Getz was fired from his job as police chief in Weissport, a town of 413 residents about 77 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
A message seeking comment was left for his lawyer, Brian J. Collins.
Co-defendant Wagner Jr. pleaded guilty to child rape in November 2020 and agreed to testify against Getz. Both men, who were adolescents when the abuse began, await sentencing.

He either self-identified as a priest, or a female teacher.
Guillotine time.
How the hell did he get to be a Police Chief at the age of 30?
Starting off with a really small guillotine. Then working up in size for each of the various other appendages. Debating whether a neck-sized one should be used.
where’s the line forming to fry this assbag?
THis story would be more credible if the second and fourth lines didn’t contradict each other.
Sounds like he needed Hillary to defend him. I wish him and slow and torturous death.
Two different lines are because they are referring to two different men.
It’s a small town. Most people know were he lives in Lehighton.
When the two get out of jail, they will need to change their identity and move out of state or else they won’t live very long.
How did they get access to this child?
Hang them and let the vermin have them.
Where were the parents?
Was he her brother, stepbrother, friend, neighbor.
Thanks. Some people are more awake at 3 in the morning than I am.
Are you sure? 2nd line: The victim of former Weissport police chief Brent Robert Getz, 30, said that he began abusing her when she was six years old and he was 16.
4th line: The girl first told her elementary school substitute teacher that Gregory E. Wagner Jr., 31, had raped her. That abuse began when she was four and Wagner was 14.
Recap: Victim says she was 4 y/o when abuse from Perp No. 1 started and 6 y/o when Perp 2 joined in. Only Alec Baldwin and his fan club could find that contradictory.
small Amish ( real Amish) community? I have read before this kind of thing is a problem in that culture.
Millstone. Neck. Throw into sea.
Not Amish. Amish wouldn’t have a police chief.
okay thank u.
Drawn and quartered is better.
