TESTIMONY STARTS YESTERDAY IN TRIAL OF GREENSBURG MAN

Testimony started yesterday in the trial of a Greensburg man accused of raping a three-year-old child in 2019.  The Trib reports that 48-year-old James Swanson faces three counts of rape of a child, aggravated indecent assault and other crimes.  The boy’s mother testified that she alerted authorities after her son tried to describe the sex acts to her.  Video of those attempts was shown to the jury.  Defense attorneys say Swanson has denied the claims.  The trial will resume today.
