Man accused of raping teen walking home from Pittsburgh bus stop turns himself in

PITTSBURGH — A man accused of raping a girl walking home from a Pittsburgh bus stop is in police custody.

Pittsburgh Police say Quinlan Burke, 27, turned himself in to officers in Uptown on Saturday.

As Channel 11 told you on Wednesday, Burke is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl on Oct. 17. The alleged assault occurred as she was walking home from a bus stop by the Greenfield Tunnel.

Neighbors told us they were frustrated they weren’t informed of the incident sooner.

“It makes me mad because usually when something like that goes on out here from a shooting… you hear about it," Jayton Witt said. “So even if police didn’t put information about that, it’s actually like scary.”

After being taken into custody, Burke was taken to police headquarters, interviewed by SVU detectives, and then moved to the Allegheny County Jail.

Burke currently faces 16 charges, including rape, statutory sexual assault, sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor and unlawful restraint of a minor.
