A Carroll Township man was arrested Thursday on charges including aggravated indecent assault of an 11-year-old girl in August.

Carroll police also charged John B. Newman Jr., 54, of 1311 Wickerham Drive, with aggravated indecent assault with forcible compulsion, corruption of minors and indecent assault of a person under age 13, court records show.

Police were notified of the allegations early Aug. 10 by Mon Valley Hospital, where the child was taken for an examination. Police said the girl accused Newman of trying to pull off her bathing suit in his swimming pool and later pushing her onto a bed, where she said she was assaulted.

District Judge Mark Wilson arraigned Newma-n Thursday, sending him to Washington County jail on $100,000 bond.
