State police accuse Butler County man of sexually assaulting children
Interviews with multiple children have lead to state police accusing a Butler County man of sexual assault.
State police on Saturday said that Nathan Workmen Mitchell, 51, of Adams Township had been arrested and charged with sexual assault by a sports official, corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children.
He also faces three charges of indecent assault.
The arrest and charges stem from a state police investigation of an Aug. 24 incident in Adams Township.
No charges against Mitchell could be found in online court records Saturday. State police did not provide further information about the charges.
Quality EMS, in Adams Township, confirmed in a social media post that Mitchell has been a part-time member of their staff for about two years, and is now on leave.
Mitchell underwent background checks by the FBI and state police as part of their standard hiring process, Quality EMS said.
“There are no reports of allegations or known incidents in relation to EMT Mitchell during the course of his duties at Quality EMS,” the EMS service said in its statement.
