Bensalem man accused of touching 2 girls during sleepovers at his home

BENSALEM, Pa. (WPVI) -- A Bensalem man has been arrested and charged with assaulting two young girls during sleepover parties at his home.

David Huebsch was silent as police escorted him to a van to face charges of molesting two girls, ages 10 and 9.

Fred Harran of Bensalem Police explains, "He has a young daughter. They're friends of hers. Obviously, she had no idea what was going on. But he's in custody now and hopefully we've put an end to his rein on terror on some of these young victims."

Bensalem Police say the sexual assaults happened at Huebsch's home over the course of a year and a half.

Investigators learned about the allegations after one of the victims came forward earlier this month.

Both victims attend Struble Elementary, and one of the victims is a fellow Girl Scout with Huebsch's daughter.

Harran says, "There is no connection to the school, except they all go to the same school. As far as Girl Scouts are involved, it had nothing to do with any Girl Scouts activities."

Huebsch's neighbor John Catalano tells us, "It's infuriating and it's terrifying because you think, hey here's this nice guy living across the street."

Neighbors on the 2000 block of Beech Lane say the 36-year-old seemed like a good father. They say girls often went in and out of the home.

Police are now urging parents to talk to their child if they came into contact with Heubsch.

"I think everybody's... you kinda, unfortunately, take second look at your neighbors when you hear something like this," said Catalano.

Police say Huebsch is separated from his wife and that his daughter is now staying with her mother.

Authorities believe there may be additional victims and are asking anyone whose daughter may have had contact with Huebsch to contact police at 215-633-3669.

Huebsch remains behind bars, held on $750,000 bail.
