Authorities have charged a local man with multiple felonies after investigations revealed he allegedly injured a five-month-old infant and sexually assaulted a young girl.
According to two criminal complaints filed on April 16 by Reynoldsville Borough Police and PSP DuBois, 31-year-old Greg Dreyer Whitehouse faces felony charges of aggravated assault, aggravated indecent assault of a child, and endangering the welfare of children. The charges stem from two separate incidents that occurred on January 21 and February 16.
The first complaint states a five-month-old infant was taken to an emergency department for a possible broken arm on January 21.
Reynoldsville Police Chief Tammy Murray noted in the affidavit that Whitehouse initially told police the child slipped while he was picking the victim up from a Pack ‘n Play. Whitehouse said he heard a pop when the victim’s arm got caught in his own, the complaint stated.
Medical records indicated the victim suffered a fracture to the right arm, according to the complaint. Doctors at Penn Highlands DuBois told police the injury was likely caused by yanking or twisting.
