Bucks Co. Pizzeria Owner Stole Naked Photos From Victim's Phone: Cops

CHALFONT BOROUGH, PA —The owner of Leonardo’s Pizza turned himself in on Friday to answer charges of indecent assault and other offenses of someone he knew during an Aug. 17 incident, police said.

The Central Bucks Regional Police Department said Nery Leonardo Vasquez-Pascual, 39, of Telford, indecently assaulted a victim when they re-entered the North Main Street restaurant to retrieve their cell phone that was left in the eatery.

It was later determined that Vasquez-Pascual, while in possession of the victim’s cell phone, sent text messages from the victim’s phone, transferring naked pictures of the victim and their partner to his own cell phone, police said.

Vasquez-Pascual handed the victim the cell phone at which time he physically turned the victim’s body toward him, grabbed the victim’s backside, and began to aggressively kiss the victim, police said.

Police said the victim was able to escape Vasquez-Pascal, who then followed the victim to their car. Vasquez-Pascal knocked on the victim’s window and the victim drove away, police said.

Vasquez-Pascual was wanted on an active arrest warrant.

He was charged with unlawful use of a computer, indecent assault, invasion of privacy, and harassment.

Vasquez-Pascual was arraigned with bail set at 10 percent of $20,000 with conditions and released.
