A Bristol Township man has been charged after a young woman reported him to police for physical and sexual abuse that allegedly happened when she was a minor.
Lloyd Wiles, 46, of Bristol Township’s Croydon section, helped bring the now 19-year-old woman to the United States from Liberia in 2012 when she was 14. She had contact with Wiles at the Levittown Trace Apartments and that’s when she alleges physical abuse began, according to court papers.

When the woman was a 15-year-old girl, Wiles began to inappropriately touch her and she threatened to call the police, court papers stated.
After the sexual contact stopped, Wiles is accused of grabbing, choking and punching her in the face at a home in Croydon on a different occasion, police said.
Wiles was arraigned Wednesday morning on charges of aggravated indecent assault, aggravated indecent assault of someone under the age of 16, unlawful contact with a minor, strangulation, corruption of minors and indecent assault. District Judge Joanne Kline set bail at $500,000 unsecured.
