GREENSBURG, Pa. — A man who got a new trial on an old rape conviction is back in jail.
John Kunco surrendered to police at the Greensburg courthouse just before 4 p.m. on Monday, according to our partners at the Trib.
Kunco is accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl in McKees Rocks.
He was released from prison in May after spending 28 years behind bars for a 1990 rape case.
A judge decided that the evidence used to convict him three decades ago had been based on unreliable science and ordered a new trial.
But now that bond has been revoked because of new allegations.
Kunco is expected to have a hearing on the bond revocation within the next month.
