Police said an officer was called to Lower Bucks Hospital at 4:55 p.m. on April 28 for a patient who said she was sexually assaulted. An officer interviewed a woman, who said she was raped the evening before.
The woman said Russell arrived at her home and asked if he could come in. She let him in because she knew him from the neighborhood, police said.
Russell allegedly grabbed the woman’s breasts and said he was in love with her. She said she tried to push him away, but he overpowered her and raped her. She stated she yelled “no” and “stop” numerous times but the 44 year old did not, according to court papers.

Police said Russell only admitted to having intercourse with the woman.
He was arraigned by on-call District Judge Jan Vislosky and released on $200,000 unsecured bail.
