A Bristol Township man will head to state prison for raping two women.
Jon Schwegler, 26, of Croydon, was sentenced Friday by Bucks County Judge Rea Boylan to seven to 10 years in state prison and 10 years of probation.

At a hearing in Doylestown, Sexual Offenders Assessment Board member Dr. Eric Weinstein testitied that Schwegler has a sexual sadism disorder that can be treated with therapy. He also deemed the man a sexually violent predator.
Last July, Schwegler pleaded guilty to rape, sexual assault and related offenses.
Assistant District Attorney Matthew Lannetti handed over impact statements from the two victims to the judge. One of the women found the courage to read her statement aloud.

Schwegler committed a 2010 and 2014 rape, authorities said.
On New Year’s Day 2014, Schwegler grabbed a victim by her hair and sexually assaulted her inside her apartment, according to police. He told her he’d burn her apartment and kill her children if she screamed, authorities said. After Schwegler sexually assaulted the woman by forcing her to perform oral sex on him and penetrating her, he went outside to smoke a cigarette and the woman called police, court records say.
Schwegler told investigators he remembered the victim in a 2010 rape “crying a little bit,” court papers say. He allegedly added that she told him “no” and asked him to “stop it.”

Schwegler was initially charged in a 2009 rape but that part of the case was dropped because the victim could not be located for a preliminary hearing.
