Another Man Facing Rape Charge In Lily Christopherson Case

BONNEY LAKE, WA - A fourth person is facing criminal charges in connection to the trafficking of Bonney Lake 15-year-old Lileana "Lily" Christopherson.

Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist says that David Biancalana, 29, is facing a third-degree rape charge. William Kent Pittman, 34, is also facing a third-degree rape charge for assaulting Christopherson.

"On May 26, officers visited co-defendant Pittman’s home and learned that Biancalana and Pittman had talked in front of people about having sex with Lily. That same day police found Biancalana at Pittman’s home hiding in a bathroom shower. Biancalana described meeting Lily and said he thought she looked 18 years old, but didn’t ask her age. Biancalana said he and Pittman got high on heroin and both had sex with Lily," Lindquist said in a press release.

Christopherson disappeared from her Bonney Lake home on May 9. She was found last weekend at a bus stop in Puyallup. Police have said that she went to Federal Way to meet with Christopher Fitzpatrick, 39, a sex offender.

Fitzpatrick was arrested over the Memorial Day weekend along Maria Anne Counts, 29. They are facing charges of kidnapping, promoting sex abuse of a minor, third-degree child rape, possession of child pornography, and providing drugs to a minor. Both pleaded not guilty to those charges.
