Derrian Alcorn, the Buffalo Township man accused of raping an intoxicated 15-year-old girl last year, turned himself in Wednesday for his preliminary arraignment.

Alcorn’s defense attorney, Duke George Jr., said his client is in the process of posting the $100,000 bond set by District Judge Jack D. Ripper.

Alcorn is charged with seven felony sex crimes, including rape by forcible compulsion, rape of an unconscious victim and corruption of a minor.

Police say Alcorn picked up the victim from a Freeport park and ride in July 2024 after agreeing through Snapchat to supply the girl with alcohol, according to a criminal complaint filed against him.

Alcorn previously asked the victim for nude photos, which she did not supply, the complaint said.

When he picked up the victim, who already was intoxicated, the girl informed him she was only 15, which Alcorn acknowledged, according to the complaint. Police said Alcorn supplied the girl with a bottle of Pink Whitney, a pink-lemonade vodka.

The two drove to Jacks Mobile Home Park, where Alcorn had sex with the girl, who told police she was “blackout drunk,” the complaint said. The girl told police she could not remember whether the alleged assault took place in Alcorn’s mobile home residence or in the car, according to the complaint.

Police said DNA obtained with a rape kit matched Alcorn’s DNA.

Alcorn’s preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 14 in Ripper’s Saxonburg courtroom.
