A Bensalem Township man has been sentenced to serve 21 to 44 months in state prison after pleading guilty to charges of child endangerment and indecent assault, according to official court records. Sean R. Greer, 42, faced these charges for his actions involving a minor that dated back to 2002. Greer's conviction was followed by a stipulation of a subsequent five-year probation, as handed down by Common Pleas Judge Charissa J. Liller last Monday, July 21.
The incidents that led to the sentencing occurred between May 1, 2002, and October 1, 2002, with the victim being a 12-year-old girl at the time. Initiated in May 2002, the investigation into Greer's conduct began when a referral was received about the sexual assault. According to an official statement from Bensalem Township police, further inquiry and interviews with the victim uncovered a disturbing pattern of inappropriate physical conduct. The young girl recounted incidents, including one around Christmas of 2001, when she was just 10 years old, as reported by the county's official website.
The guilty plea came in April, a few months prior to the final sentencing. Judge Liller's decision took into account not only Greer's admission of guilt but also the gravity of his actions and their long-term effects on the victim. As reported by the Bucks County Government's alert, during the interview process, the victim detailed how Greer had made inappropriate contact with her on various occasions.
