Man Charged With Groping Teens At Bucks Co. Stores: Cops

A 30-year-old man has been arrested and charged with inappropriately touching teens in two separate incidents at stores in Bucks County, police said.

Alexander Macht of Rydal, Montgomery County, has been charged with two counts of indecent assault and harassment after touching two 13-year-olds, Lower Southampton Township police said. The incidents happened at a Feasterville Acme and a Bensalem Target, according to authorities.

The investigation began in December after Lower Southampton Township police received a report that a man inappropriately touched a 13-year-old girl at the Acme in Feasterville.

Police in Bensalem Township said they received a similar complaint that occurred at the local Target in February. In that incident, a 13-year-old girl was shopping with her mother when she was inappropriately touched by a man as he walked by her in the store, police said.

A preliminary hearing was held Wednesday. Macht will be arraigned on July 6, court documents show.
