Man Faces 70 Years In Prison For Repeatedly Raping Bristol Twp. Girl

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA —A township man faces up to 70 years in state prison for repeatedly raping a girl who was 9 years old when the crime started, authorities said.

Carlos Navedo, 52, of Bristol Township was sentenced to between 35 to 70 years in state prison for repeatedly raping the Bristol Township girl for over three years, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said.

The victim, now 13, was among six people who provided victim impact statements during sentencing Thursday, telling Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr that Navedo “took my childhood away from me.”

She said he continued to sexually assault her until she was 12 years old and would also show her pornography.

The investigation found that Navedo raped the girl from January 2021 to December 2023.

Several dozen relatives of the victim —wearing purple and pink sweatshirts in support of the victim —filled the courtroom.

The victim’s mother, father, and other relatives also read victim impact statements detailing the victim's suffering she endured when the rapes took place from ages 9 to 12 and the emotional trauma that continues for her.

They all pleaded with Judge Corr to send Navedo away to prison for decades.

“Protect our children and sentence this monster to the maximum sentence allowed,” one aunt said.

Navedo was convicted by a Bucks County jury in October of the rape of a child, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with a minor, and corruption of minors.

In addition to the state prison sentence, Corr ordered that Navedo have no contact with the victim and her family.

As a Tier III sex offender, Navedo will have to register with Megan’s Law for the rest of his life.
