Man Breaks Into Montco Apartment, Rapes Girl, 6: DA

By Justin Heinze:

A man allegedly broke into a Hatfield apartment on Monday morning and raped a 6-year-old girl, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.

Oscar Rivera Herrera, 28, was caught in the act by one of the girl’s parents, and held in the Hatfield Village Apartment unit at knife-point until police arrived, the DA said.

Police were alerted at 4:02 a.m. when the girl’s 11-year-old brother called 9-1-1 and said a man had broken into the house and “done something” to his sister, according to the DA.

Herrera told police that he had broken into the same apartment two or three years ago but no one was there, the DA said.

Anyone with any information on Herrera is asked to call the Hatfield Township Police Department at (215) 855-0900.
