CLEARFIELD – Two people charged in connection with the rape of a 15-year-old girl were in court Monday for sentencing.
Police say Randi Jo Marie Bambarger, 23, of Philipsburg, and Craig William Marshall, 21, of Reynoldsville, were in a Clearfield apartment with the victim drinking, when she was reportedly assaulted by Hunter Vroman, 22, of Punxsutawney on June 1, 2023.
Bambarger pleaded guilty to misdemeanor corruption of minors and furnishing alcohol to minors and Marshall pleaded guilty to misdemeanor corruption of minors.
Both were sentenced by President Judge Fredric J. Ammerman to serve 75 days to one year in jail with three years concurrent probation, according to a court employee.
The affidavit in these cases details how Bambarger invited Vroman and Marshall to her home where the victim was staying. While there, the four drank beer, twisted tea, mixed drinks and vodka.
The victim told investigators that she drank “a lot” and was “feeling good.”
She explained Bambarger and Marshall went into a bedroom, leaving her with Vroman. They two lay down on the mattress and Vroman tried to initiate sex. She said she kept telling him no, but “then gave up, when he kept trying.”
She had trouble recalling details because she had been drinking, according to the report.
In an interview with authorities, at first Vroman denied having intercourse with her, but eventually stated he had “consensual sex” with the girl.
Vroman pleaded guilty in February to felony statutory sexual assault and corruption of minors along with misdemeanor indecent assault. He was sentenced to nine months to five years in state prison by Ammerman.
