Littlestown police arrested Jeffrey Crosley, 35, of Littlestown, on Thursday. Crosley was a youth leader at the Jesus Messiah Evangelical Free Church in Hanover for the last 10 years. Officials say Crosley molested a 16-year-old boy and another boy, who was 12-to 16-years-old when the acts occurred.
A news release from the Adams County District Attorney's Office states that Crosley used his position as a way to have contact with teenage boys.
Crosley is charged with two counts of rape, three counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, statutory sexual assault, two counts of aggravated indecent assault and other sexual-related crimes.
According to Adams County District Attorney Shawn Wagner, there is reason to believe there are other victims.
Adams County officials say if you have any knowledge of potential sexual abuse by Crosley, you should call the Littlestown Police Department at 717-359-4511 and ask for Chief Charles Kellar or Detective Douglas Hilyard.
Police said that when they searched Crosley's home, they found "numerous photographs of what appeared to be child pornography depicting teenage boys." Police also seized a computer at the home. They said Crosley will face additional charges for possession of child pornography.
Crosley's bail has been set at $500,000.
