Charges Against Union County Man Withdrawn Over Statute of Limitations
CONFLICT signal, reported in US, from fox56.com, with negative sentiment. Locations: Union County, Pennsylvania, United States, Lewisburg.
What Happened
The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office withdrew rape and incest charges against Thomas E. Boop, a Sunbury man, on Tuesday due to the statute of limitations. The alleged conduct occurred in 1963, and the case was initially filed in September but withdrawn and refiled the same day. Charges were withdrawn on October 14, and a preliminary hearing scheduled for November 12 was canceled.
Why it matters
The charges were withdrawn because the alleged conduct predates the statute of limitations. This action ends the criminal prosecution for the case.
