Riggle Sexual Abuse Trial Begins - Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 10:43AM EST
Williamsport, Lycoming County-
Trial got underway Tuesday for a Lycoming County man accused of sexually abusing a teenage boy.
Only Eyewitness News was there as prosecutors opened their case against 51-year-old Larry Riggle of Williamsport.
Jurors heard testimony from the 15-year-old alleged victim, who was 13 when police say the crimes occurred.
The boy testified the abuse happened on as many as 30 occasions.
Prosecutors also showed jurors sex toys and pornographic movies recovered from Riggle’s home.
Defense attorneys say the boy has lied about other things, and may be doing the same now.
The trial is expected to wrap up Wednesday. | |
