A Fayette County man faces severe allegations involving the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl, the ex-daughter of his girlfriend. Joseph Dean Martin, 28, from Uniontown, has been charged with multiple felonies, including child rape, statutory sexual assault, and corruption of minors. According to WPXI, the police were alerted to the incidents within the last few days.
The investigation began after the mother of the victim raised concerns when her daughter and Martin returned from a supposed movie outing well after midnight. During a confrontation, the young girl disclosed she had sex with Martin in his vehicle, admitting this wasn't an isolated incident—it started two years prior and has continued since she was 10.
The judge has denied bail for Martin, leaving him held at Fayette County Prison as he awaits further legal proceedings. Court records and an Audacy report confirm the severity of the charges against him.
