On February 8th, 33 year old Robert Crowl Jr of Bradford petitioned the court for a lowered bail.

Crowl is charged with numerous alleged sex offenses against a child.

He told the court that his SSI income is not enough to pay 20 thousand dollars in bail.

Crowl says he is homeless after spending six months in jail, and intends to find temporary housing at the Riddell House in Bradford.
Assistant District Attorney Scott Klein told the court, "The Riddell House is the scene of more crimes than you can count."

Klein said that the Riddell House would be innappropriate for Klein considering the charges against him.
