27 year old Jose Fernando Montalban-Rodriguez, of Minersville, was jailed Tuesday on charges he sexually assaulted a 3-year-old boy.
Minersville police Patrolman Jeffrey Bowers charged Montalban-Rodriguez in connection with the incident that occurred in the borough in March.
Bowers said a polygraph test was administered on June 24 by state police Trooper Wesley Levan at the Schuylkill Haven barracks and that the charges were filed based on the confession that Montalban-Rodriguez gave to Levan during the interview.
Montalban-Rodriguez was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge David A. Plachko, Port Carbon, and committed to Schuylkill County Prison in lieu of $100,000 straight cash bail.
