According to court papers filed by Bristol Township police, a 10-year-old girl who moved from Levittown to Lawrence County in the western portion of the state recently asserted she was indecently assaulted by Hewitt inside his home. The girl said the indecent assaults happened on multiple occasions, including while she was laying down to rest.
A second girl, who is now 17, said she experienced illicit behavior at the hands of Hewitt when she was 12 or 13 years old and again when she was 15 inside the Openwood Lane home, police said.
Hewitt was arraigned early Thursday morning by an on-call district judge on two counts each of of indecent assault on a person less than 13 years old, unlawful contact with a minor, and corruption of minors. He was sent to the county lockup on 10 percent of $750,000 bail.
