CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa.
A Johnstown man forced a seven year old boy to give him oral sex, then threatened to shoot a witness if she told anyone, Johnstown police said.
62 year old Charles Reynolds faces a number of charges, including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, indecent assault, and corruption of minors.
Police said the assault took place Wednesday in Reynolds’ house in the city's Prospect Homes neighborhood. He reportedly made the victim give him oral sex. A woman was home at the time and saw what happened. She told police Reynolds threatened to shoot her if she told anyone.
Cambria county children and youth services learned of the case and contacted Johnstown police on Friday. Detectives went to Reynolds' home to question him about the assault.

Sex Offender Jose Ruiz Arrested for Sexual Abuse
Already serving 16 to 32 years in state prison and designated a sexually violent predator, Jose J. Ruiz is back in York County court, accused of sexually abusing three more young girls.
In 2007, a jury convicted Ruiz of rape of a child, involuntary deviated sexual intercourse with a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child, indecent assault and corruption of minors.
Testimony at that trial was that Ruiz, now 30, sexually assaulted one girl between ages 8 and 10 during an eight-month period in 2003 and 2004 in the city. The jury also convicted him of unlawful contact with another girl, between ages 9 and 10, in 2005 and 2006.
York City Police Detective Dana Ward testified Tuesday that, days before the 2007 trial began, three other young girls came forward with similar allegations of sexual abuse.
Charges -- including multiple counts of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault and corruption of minors -- filed after that investigation resulted in this week's trial in Common Pleas Court.
Before a jury Tuesday, Ward testified in graphic detail about the sexual acts Ruiz allegedly performed on the girls under threat and forced them to perform on each other.
First Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey Boyles rested his case Tuesday.
The trial was recessed until today after defense attorney Korey Leslie requested a Spanish translator for witnesses he intends to call.

Keven Grisham Sentenced to 229 Years for Sexual Assault
A man convicted of sexually assaulting three Porterville-area girls, one of him his stepdaughter, faces a prison term of up to 229 years when sentenced next month, the Tulare County District Attorney's office announced Friday.
Keven Grisham, 52, of Santa Maria was convicted June 18 by a Tulare County Superior Court jury. He was found guilty on 21 counts of sexual assault, including child molestation, forcible rape and sodomy, and unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, according to the press release.
Prosecutors said the offenses occurred between 1996 and 2003, when Grisham was living in the Porterville area and when the three victims, now in their early- to mid-20s, were minors.
Grisham's arrest, in Santa Maria in October last year, followed a monthlong investigation that began after a then-23 year-old woman told Tulare County sheriff's deputies that Grisham, her stepfather, had sexually assaulted her between the ages of 11 and 18, according to a sheriff's report.
During the investigation, two other victims approached the sheriff's department and told deputies they had been sexually assaulted by Grisham when they were minors, said Deputy District Attorney Mikki Verissimo, who prosecuted the case.
The assaults occurred in the Porterville area, Verissimo said.
"I'm very happy with the verdict and I'm happy that we got justice for the three victims," she said.
Grisham will be sentenced July 22 in Tulare County Superior Court.
