DUBOIS – A former DuBois man is facing 68 felony charges for sexually assaulting a girl for over five years.
Douglas Edward Bloom, 43, was charged Wednesday by DuBois City police with various counts of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, aggravated indecent assault person less than 13 years old and aggravated indecent assault of a child.
Bloom is currently in the state prison in Bellefonte where he is serving a 10- to 30-year sentence for raping a child in Jefferson County.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, the victim reported that she had been abused by Bloom while she was at a babysitter’s home in DuBois.
The victim regularly went to Bloom’s nearby apartment where they would play video games and eventually, he started touching her inappropriately, police said.
This reportedly escalated into them performing oral sex on each other and to having intercourse. She said it started when she was four years old and ended when she was 9 years old. The incidents happened up to twice a week, according to the complaint.
She reported that she also saw him sexually assault a friend who was 11 or 12 years old at the time.
In an interview with investigators at the prison, Bloom admitted to “fondling” her a “few” times. He denied having intercourse with her but confirmed they had performed oral sex on each other, according to the report.
