Former Pennsylvania Mayor Arrested in East Texas

East Texas law enforcement officers arrested a former Pennsylvania mayor last week on charges of child sex crimes. According to KETK, the former mayor for Gettysburg, PA, Chad-Alan Carr was arrested on two counts of sexual assault and one count of photography/film on a computer depicting sexual acts involving a child. Carr is now facing multiple felonies connected to the alleged child sex crimes.

Three New Accusers Brought Additional Charges

Carr had posted bail after his initial arrest which took place in March after a man claimed Carr engaged in inappropriate behavior with him online when the victim was a minor. Pennsylvania State Police have now filed new charges against Carr after three men have now come forward with new allegations of physical sexual abuse and inappropriate comments, some of them taking place when the victims were underage.

How East Texas Deputies Located Carr

East Texas law enforcement determined that Carr was in Anderson County, Texas. That is when the Adams County sheriff’s office coordinated with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office and they took Carr into custody.

According to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, Pennsylvania authorities have confirmed they will extradite Carr from Texas to face charges.

Carr is scheduled to be arraigned on April 16 in the Adams County courthouse. The former mayor resigned his position just weeks into his first term after learning of the initial investigation. Many of the allegations against Carr came from local community theater and school theater groups.

Carr allegedly let his campaign manager know about the allegations over the phone and admitted to sharing inappropriate messages with the victim.
