UPDATE (March 26, 2019): Christopher Young has been charged with sexual assault.

An off-duty East Earl Township police officer beat a woman, threatened to kill her and had sex with her despite being told to stop, the woman said in court documents filed to obtain an emergency protection-from-abuse order earlier this month.

Christopher Young, 33, an 11-year-veteran of the department, has been placed on administrative leave and is also under criminal investigation in the matter, according to court documents related to the case.

In seeking the protection order on March 12, the woman alleged Young smashed a computer screen as she worked in Young’s West Lampeter Township home on March 11, called her obscenities, grabbed her neck and pushed her to the ground.

Young "pulled me back up by my arms, head-butted me, leaving a large red area with minor swelling," she wrote in her application for the protection order.

The woman, who had a hysterectomy two weeks before that hadn't healed, alleged he picked her up and held her stomach tightly.

Young also kicked her in the right calf and again pushed his head into her, she alleged.

The woman ran to the bedroom, called 911, then was taken to the hospital.

Young "has threatened to kill me if I ever try to 'ruin' him," she alleged.

Attorney Anne Gibson, whose husband Eric Gibson is representing Young but was unavailable Friday, said they could not comment on the matter.

The woman also alleged Young has kicked her, bent her fingers back causing her to cry, broken her belongings and threatened to hurt her financially.

Two days before she was beaten, the woman alleged Young forced her to have sex. "I told him to stop because it was hurting and I was crying," she wrote.

Four of Young's handguns, along with ammunition, were confiscated from his home.

East Earl police Chief Kevin C. McCarthy Sr. said Thursday that Young was placed on paid leave on March 12 when McCarthy was informed of the temporary protection order, which remains in effect through May 1.

"As soon as we were made aware of the incident, we revoked his police powers. He cannot hold himself out as a police officer," McCarthy said.

Young is paid about $76,000 a year, McCarthy said.

McCarthy declined to comment on the allegations against Young.
