Former Butler School Board member Bill Halle will be back in court this afternoon.
After a preliminary hearing with Magisterial District Judge William Fullerton last month, Halle’s case will move forward to the next phase.
A formal arraignment before Fullerton is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Halle has been charged with Sexual Assault by a volunteer or employee of nonprofit, corruption of minors, criminal use of communication facility, and criminal solicitation.
Police say that a Child Line report was filed with the Butler County District Attorney’s Office regarding a 17-year-old victim that Halle employed and counseled at his Net Outreach Center. Halle was allegedly observed being intimate with the victim on a street curb near the victim’s residence. The victim told police that sexual intercourse with Halle occurred at the Net Center. Additionally, a review of the victim’s cell phone revealed messages sexual in nature from Halle.
