A York County man is accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl when she asked him for candy, according to police.

Paul Michael Pietrusza, 25, is charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault of a person younger than 13, according to online court dockets.

While talking with her mother, the girl brought up a time when Pietrusza covered her eyes and tried to get her to perform a sexual act, according to charging documents filed by Newberry Township police.

In the girl’s conversation with her mother, she said the assault occurred at Pietrusza’s home in York Haven and described what happened to her, according to police. Police said the assault occurred on Jan. 15.

In a forensic interview with investigators, the girl again disclosed that she was blindfolded before describing the assault, according to court documents.

Police spoke with Pietrusza about the allegations on March 28, according to court documents.

Police said Pietrusza claimed the girl asked him for candy, so he told her to cover her eyes, according to court documents. He said he blindfolded the girl because he did not want her to see an adult toy in a drawer, or where he kept his candy.

Police asked what Pietrusza thought the girl felt about the incident, to which he responded “upset, terrified, completely and utterly alone,” according to court documents.

When they asked why she would feel that way, Pietrusza said “Because someone she trusted did something like this," according to court documents.

Pietrusza was arrested on Thursday and placed in York County Jail on $25,000 bail, which he has not posted.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 22.
