A former Pennsylvania mayor<\/a> is facing child sex offense charges two weeks after resigning his position after being in office for less than a month after allegedly grooming a boy while volunteering in the theater community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chad Alan-Carr resigned just two weeks into his term as mayor of Gettysburg in what he described as personal matters unrelated to city business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carr, 48, is charged with felony counts of sexual abuse<\/a> of children and criminal solicitation to commit sexual abuse of children and a misdemeanor count of corruption of minors, according to court records.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between 2011 and 2013, Carr solicited “inappropriate material” from at least one teen boy, Adams County District Attorney Brian Sinnett said Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘SADISTIC’ MAN LINKED TO NIHILISTIC VIOLENT EXTREMISM CHARGED WITH GROOMING CHILD INTO SEXUAL ACTS, SELF-HARM<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“We are alleging and believe to be true that Chad-Alan Carr had groomed this particular individual from a time even before they were 16 years old,” Sinnett said during a news conference.<\/p>\n

Carr allegedly groomed the boy and enticed him into sharing nude video<\/a> and photo images. Other charges could not have been filed against Carr because the statute of limitations had already run out, Sinnett said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carr’s attorney, John Abom, declined to comment on their case to Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sinnett noted that investigators interviewed several other witnesses who provided reports of alleged “inappropriate conduct” by Carr. However, that alleged conduct did not warrant criminal charges, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of Carr’s alleged offenses, he was a volunteer at Gettysburg High School. He was also executive director of the Gettysburg Community Theater, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The teen boy was involved in the theater community at a young age. Carr treated the victim differently from other students during their sophomore and junior years of high school, authorities said, giving him lots of attention and treating him kindly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The victim, now an adult, told investigators that he had known Carr for several years. He began communicating with Carr at 16 on Facebook Messenger and Skype, Fox 43<\/a> reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At some point, the conversations turned sexual in nature and lasted until the boy was 17, the news outlet said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carr resigned as mayor this month, but he allegedly admitted to a friend that the allegations were true before leaving office, the news report said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carr is being held on $100,000 bail. His next court appearance is scheduled on March 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
