Investigators from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office have an individual in custody who is suspected of sexually assaulting a girl three years ago when she was 13-years-old.
The alleged victim, a female juvenile who is now fifteen-years-old, told investigators, after a forensic interview at the Bridge of Hope Child Advocacy Center, that she was sexually assaulted by Jeremy Kreiling, who was twenty-three-years-old at the time of the alleged assault. According to the sheriff’s office, the girl said she was babysitting at a home, south of Hershey, where she was allowed to drink alcohol.
The suspect, twenty-five-year-old Kreiling, allegedly waited for his wife and children to fall asleep before he assaulted the girl, stopping once he heard noises within the home. On November 8th, Kreiling refused to speak with investigators during an in-person interview at the sheriff’s office. Kreiling was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center and charged with First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child.
Investigation continues.
