A Perkasie Borough man is free on $300,000 unsecured bail following his arraignment on felony rape and sexual assault charges on Thursday morning.
Brendan Kerr, 29, is also facing misdemeanor counts of indecent assault without consent and indecent assault – forcible compulsion, in connection with the investigation by the Perkasie Borough Police Department.
Police said they were initially contacted by a female victim on June 22, 2020, who reported that she had been sexually assaulted by Kerr, whom she had known for approximately six years.
The victim said that two days prior, she was helping Kerr move into a home in Perkasie then stayed at the home after staying late to help setup furniture, according to the criminal complaint. The victim said she went to bed between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. and later awoke to Kerr being on top of her forcing her head into a pillow, the report states.
Kerr then allegedly raped the victim over a period of five to eight minutes, at which point he stopped and “almost immediately fell asleep,” police said.
The investigation continued for nearly a year, with charges being officially filed on June 15, 2021.
Kerr was arraigned on June 17 by District Judge Regina Armitage, who set bail and scheduled his preliminary hearing for Aug. 17, at 1:30 p.m.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using court records and the affidavit of probable cause.
