PARKER TWP — A suspected child molester already facing charges for sexually assaulting a 5-year-old girl is now accused of raping two other young girls last year at his township home.

State police Tuesday charged John Earl Libecco, 65, of 126 Meadowlark Lane with 124 counts of sexual assault in the most recent case.

Troopers filed the latest charges a day after two girls, now 10 and 11, told a Butler County Children and Youth Services caseworker the defendant raped them between June and August 2007.

The girls, who were 9 and 10 when the alleged assaults occurred, said Libecco performed other sex acts on them, according to court documents, and also watched pornographic movies with him.

Investigators Tuesday interviewed Libecco, who allegedly admitted he assaulted the girls on 16 occasions.

"The defendant also admitted to watching a pornographic movie with the victims,"a police affidavit said, "which he claimed the victims had provided."

District Judge Lewis Stoughton arraigned Libecco on 16 counts each of rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault and statutory sexual assault, and 30 counts each of indecent assault and corruption of minors.

The defendant was placed in the county prison on $100,000 bail, following arraignment.

Libecco in January was briefly jailed after being charged with sexually assaulted a then-5-year-old girl while baby-sitting the child at her home in Parker Township in the 1990s.

The girl, now 15, on Jan. 2 accused the defendant of inappropriately touched her on at least two occasions in 1997, according to court documents.

Police said Libecco later admitted touching the girl in a sexual manner at least twice.

Documents said Libecco told troopers he believes the assaults occurred in 1994 or 1995 while he "had been watching the victim for short periods of time" at the girl's house.

In that case, Libecco is charged with two counts each of aggravated indecent assault, child endangerment, indecent assault and corruption of minors.

He was arraigned Jan. 28 on those charges and placed in the county jail. He posted $5,000 bond and was released that same day.

Preliminary hearings in both cases are Tuesday at Stoughton's office in Chicora.
