Man charged with raping 15-year-old girl in Bucks County; officials fear there could be more victims

DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A 32-year-old man is charged with multiple sex crimes after authorities say he raped a 15-year-old girl in Quakertown, Pennsylvania earlier this year.

Miguel Angel Sanchez, of Sellersville, is charged with numerous counts of rape, statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, and other related crimes.

According to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, the victim said Sanchez raped her inside his vehicle on October 23 in the parking lot of a Giant on Broad Street.

Quakertown police were able to review the surveillance video and were able to determine it was his vehicle in the parking lot.

The victim told police she and a friend met Sanchez on one prior occasion at a Wendy's, and they exchanged contact information through Snapchat.

During conversations on Snapchat, officials said Sanchez would ask the victim for videos of her nude and/or performing sex acts in exchange for money.

Officials said Sanchez also communicated with the victim's friend, a 16-year-old girl, through Snapchat, and he also asked her for sex videos in exchange for money.

He offered to pay the girls up to $1,500 for sexual videos, according to investigators.

Officials also believe there may be additional victims. Anyone who may be a victim or has information about Sanchez's actions is asked to call the police at 215-536-5002.

Parents in the area told Action News they were disgusted to hear an accused predator was lurking around the neighborhood.

"I have two girls myself, so it's disturbing," said Josh Paumen from Quakertown.

"You can't trust anybody. It's really sick that people even really do that stuff," he added.

"It's frightening. I mean it's a different world we live in today for sure," said Gail Eberhardt from Perkasie.

Sanchez was arraigned Nov. 3 and was sent to the Bucks County Correctional Facility without bail. A judge said he is a flight risk and faces similar charges in Montgomery County.

At the time of the offense in Quakertown, officials said Sanchez was out on bail in Montgomery County for charges that include an indecent assault.

In that incident, officials say Sanchez was arrested and charged last year for strangling and sexually assaulting a woman in Pottstown.

He also allegedly met that woman on social media.

Sanchez's formal arraignment will be held Friday in connection with the rape case.
