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.

# I did a search of this article. There are 5 words missing. Mother, father, mom, dad, parents.
Exactly. they bear a fair amount of responsibility here I suspect.
“A message seeking comment was left for his lawyer, Brian J. Collins”
What for?
Poor girl.
Strange title. It sounds like the 6-11 year old girl was the rapist.
Probably politics.
Hopefully.
Yes—and I’ve done much worse with much less excuse.
We had a saying when I worked for NY State: "It's not who you know, it's who you blow that counts."
“It’s not who you know, it’s who you blow that counts.”
Kamala’s core belief that guides her thru life...
Her knees should have given out on her years ago.
I have heard that one also.
Guillotine time.

A sentence of Life with no chance of parole or execution. And the verdict and sentencing preferably by tomorrow evening. No appeal.
Only Alec Baldwin and his fan club could find that contradictory.

Nicely done!
He don’t look like no police chief.
I think that a sign of a healthy society is its willingness to execute its monsters. There will always be a leftist nut governor who will commute sentences of the evil, unless the perps are exterminated.

Many times I’ve posted on this forum that in any truly civilized society these monsters would be tried, convicted, sentenced to death, and executed within weeks of their apprehension. And testimony concerning “motive” would be inadmissible as exculpatory evidence.
Thumbs up!!!
