Broomall Man Sexually Abused Daughter Of Wayne Stabbing Victim: Police

BROOMALL, PA — The Broomall man who was recently charged with attempted murder has been hit with more charges, and this time they're related to child sex abuse of the stabbing victim's daughter, police said.

Court record show Charles Hall, 40, of Broomall, was charged by Radnor Township Police with five felony counts of unlawful contact with a minor, felony endangering the welfare of a child, felony corruption of minors, and five counts of indecent assault of a person less than 16 years old.

Hall was charged in late February with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, burglary, and related charges, in connection with the stabbing of a Wayne woman on Sunday, Feb. 25.

The new charges were filed March 1 and list the incident date as Feb. 17.

The abuse occurred at a King of Prussia movie theater and mall while he, his wife, their daughter, and her friends celebrated a birthday, police told Patch.

Police said the victim is a friend of Hall's daughter.

Authorities also said it was the victim's home Hall broke into on Feb. 25, and it was the victim's mother who was stabbed.

Police told Patch Hall may have gone to the victim's home out of fear that her mother was planning to report the alleged sexual abuse to authorities.

Hall was a volunteer firefighter with the Broomall Fire Company, but was suspended until further notice and locked out of the fire station after he was initially charged.

On Feb. 25, Radnor Police were called to a home on the 200 block of Willow Avenue in Wayne for a report of a stabbing and found a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds, as well as a juvenile female suffering from injuries from trying to intervene in the stabbing.

The young woman gave a description of the suspect and told police it was Hall who attacked the adult woman, police said.

Not long after Radnor police took the report, Haverford Township Police found Hall while responding to a vehicle crash on Sproul Road.

Hall was identified and taken into custody without incident, police said.

Police said anyone who has information on these incidents or may have been a victim is urged to contact them at 911.
