A Pennsylvania man faces more than 5,000 charges — including nearly 4,000 felonies — for allegedly raping an underage girl for years.
Nicholas Allen Spencer, 37, faces charges ranging from child pornography to forcible rape for allegedly grooming his teen victim and having sex with her “almost daily” for years, court records show.
Spencer, from Clearfield County, began sending inappropriate messages when she was only 12, saying he “wanted her” and would like to “grab her,” according to a complaint filed on Tuesday, viewed by WTAJ.
A police car in Clearfield County, PA, where Nicholas Spencer was charged with thousands of counts of sexual abuses against a teen.The victim finally reported the alleged attacks to cops after a friend urged her to come forward, the report said.
She couldn’t say exactly when the rapes began, but believed she was about 13. She said the attacks continued “almost daily” for several years. It was not clear how old the victim was when she alerted police.
State investigators then confronted Spencer, asking him about recent explicit messages. He allegedly claimed to not remember them — despite them being sent only eight hours prior.
In total, 5,538 charges were filed against Spencer, including just under 4,000 felonies.
That’s one charge for every single time Spencer allegedly harmed his victim, Tami Fees, deputy district attorney for Clearfield County, told The Post.
“I think the child is entitled to have this man be held accountable for each and every charge,” Fees said.
The charges include more than 300 counts each of rape by forcible compulsion, rape by threat of forcible compulsion, statutory sexual assault and other horrific crimes.
Spencer also faces 42 counts each of six different charges related to child pornography and distributing obscene material involving a minor.
Not every charge may make it to trial, but prosecutors aim to put Spencer away for life.
“There are multiple aspects that are underneath each individual charge that when we get down to getting ready for trial, do I have to proceed on all 5,000? No. But can we? Absolutely,” Fees said.
