A Levittown man will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars for molesting three girls in Bristol Township.
Paul Callahan, 46, of Falls Township’s Levittown section, was sentenced Wednesday after being sentenced to 106 to 212 years in prison, according to a statement from the Bucks County District Attorney’s office. In late April, he the was convicted by a jury on charges including 28 felony counts that included child rape, indecent assault, endangering the welfare of children and unlawful contact with minors.

Callahan came under investigation by Bristol Township police in October after the girls – ages 13, 16, and 19 – reported the molestation incidents that took place over years. The district attorney’s office said the youngest victim was 6 when the sexual assaults began.
All three of the girls told investigators Callahan would touch them inappropriately and/or show them his genitals while they were growing up. Once each girl turned around 10, Callahan would begin having sexual relations with them, police said.
The teens, according to court documents, told Callahan to stop but he did not.

Under threat, the teens were told not to tell anyone about the alleged sex acts, court papers stated.
According to a court room observer, the victims testified earlier in the week during the trial.

In a Doylestown Intelligencer report from the spring trial, defense attorney David Harold Knight said the prosecutor did not have any “real evidence” against Callahan. A district attorney rebutted that the 46 year old was a “monster.”
