SOUTH CONNELLSVILLE, Pa. — A South Connellsville man is accused of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl and recording it.
Homeland Security obtained video of a minor being sexually assaulted. James Paul Schwarz, 37, was identified as the man in the video.
Schwarz was arrested at his home along Reidmore Road on Feb. 3.

He is facing 40 charges in connection to the alleged assaults. Thirty-six of the charges are felonies.
