Officer Accused of Giving Alcohol to Two Teen Girls

Thirty-five year old Richard Corbin is accused of giving alcohol to two teen girls, ages thirteen and fifteen, and then having sex with both.

Neighbors say police swarmed his home on Moore Avenue in Union Township Wednesday night.

The Pennsylvania State Police say Corbin faces several charges including statutory sexual assault, corruption of minors, and furnishing liquor to minors. They will not say, however, how the officer knew the two girls.

"All I know he was a city policeman who worked alot, he was in and out, he was real quiet, he never bothered anyone. It was a surprise when I heard about what was going on.",says Julie Jaskola, neighbor.

The New Castle Police Department did release a written statement saying they will not comment while this matter is in the courts.

Officer Corbin is on leave, and he's set to appear in Lawrence County Central Court next Wednesday for a preliminary hearing
