Kaitlin GreenockleA Centre County man has been charged after police say he began sexually assaulting a girl in Hanover Borough about 6 years ago.
Jason Paul Mackulin, 38, of the first block of Rockview Place, Benner Township, allegedly started to sexually assault the girl, now 17, when she was 11, according to an affidavit filed with District Judge Dwayne Dubs.
The investigation was forwarded to Hanover Borough Police from an Adams County Police agency on April 15.

The girl was interviewed at the Adams County Child Advocacy Center where she said Mackulin started to touch her chest when she was 11. She also said he would put her in sexual positions and make sexual advances on her, the affidavit states.
She said the indecent contact continued until she was about 13 or 14 years old.
The girl's family members found a journal in which she had logged details of Mackulin's indecent contact with her and that is when the contact ended, police said in the affidavit.
Mackulin was charged with indecent assault of a person less than 13 and corruption of minors, according to online court documents.
He has a preliminary arraignment scheduled for July 22 and is currently in State Correctional Institution Rockview on unrelated charges.
