Perkiomen Township Man Is Convicted Of Sexually Assaulting Pottstown Woman

PERKIOMEN TOWNSHIP, PA — A local man has been found guilty on two criminal counts relating to a sexual assault he committed against a western Montgomery County woman two years ago, according to court records and media reports.

Records show that Charles Hill Jr., 34, of Perkiomen Township, was convicted during a non-jury trial last week in the courtroom of Montgomery County Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas C. Branca.

Hill was found guilty on charges of felony sexual assault and misdemeanor indecent assault without consent of others.

Records also show that the judge during the bench trial found Hill not guilty of felony counts of rape by forcible compulsion, rape by threat of forcible compulsion as well as two indecent assault misdemeanor charges.

Branca deferred sentencing in the case until the court can complete a background investigation on Hill, records state.

A report by the Mercury newspaper said the assault took place inside the victim's Pottstown Borough home back on Feb. 3, 2020.

The paper reported that Hill, who knew the victim personally, assaulted the woman during the earning morning hours and that the two had been socializing with one another at a local bar the previous evening.

The report says that the woman said she tried to fend off Hill's advances but that he continued to force sex on her.
