A 19-year-old New Stanton man was arrested Tuesday after he was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl in September in Latrobe, according to court documents.

Tommy Eddington III is accused of assaulting the 14-year-old girl in the city after he had driven the girl and two other acquaintances to multiple locations in the area in a 2021 Corvette, police said.

The girl alleged when they returned to the city, she was left alone in the Corvette with Eddington for a short period about 12:30 a.m. Sept. 25 when the assault occurred, Latrobe Detective Michelle Preston said in court documents.

The girl told police that she told Eddington multiple times that she was 14 years old.

Police were able to identify Eddington because the girl had taken a photograph of the car with the license plate visible, court papers indicated.

Eddington was charged with corruption of minors, sexual assault and statutory sexual assault.

His private attorney, Joseph Otte of Pittsburgh, declined comment on the case.

Eddington was released on $5,000 unsecured bond pending a preliminary hearing Dec. 13.
