The father of a man who is currently on death row for the killing of a New Kensington police officer is now charged with making sexual advances on two girls in Latrobe.
The Trib reports that 52-year-old Gregory Baucum, Jr. is now charged with two counts each of unlawful contact with a minor, open lewdness and other crimes. The incident was reported Sunday afternoon by a woman who said her daughter and a friend were approached by him at the McDonald’s on Lincoln Avenue. The girls told police Baucum began asking them sexually explicit questions, and followed them outside and continued to talk to them while touching himself inappropriately. He also allegedly said that his sister was picking him up and taking him to New Jersey, and offered the victims a ride.
Baucum is in Westmoreland County Jail on no bail. A June 12 preliminary hearing is scheduled in Judge Tamara Mahady’s Unity court.
