Harold Leroy Herr, 73, then grabbed the 5-year-old child by her neck, forced her into his car, threatened to kill her unless she “got naked” and listened to him, and sexually assaulted her Thursday, police said. He bought the child chocolate ice cream and dropped her back off in her grandma’s Lancaster Township neighborhood a few hours later, police said. The Conestoga Township man, a convicted sex offender who already served 20 years in prison for an eerily similar assault, now is facing 11 charges in the abduction and rape of the child in Lancaster Township. The maximum penalty for the charges is more than 100 years in prison. Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman said, “This is a nightmare case for parents and for everyone in the community. “In our lives, we like to tell our children that monsters are not real. But they are.” Anyone who kidnaps a 5-year-old, threatens to kill her and then sexually assaults her, Stedman said, “That is a monster.” Manheim Township police arrested Herr within a day of the kidnapping and sexual assault. Prosecutors immediately began looking at Megan’s Law offenders in the area and a city police officer called Manheim Township police and told them about Herr, whom he knew. Police filed multiple charges, including kidnapping, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, unlawful restraint and corruption of minors. He is being held without bail because of the nature of his case and the threat prosecutors believe he poses to the community. In an interview with police, Herr denied he was involved in the crime, according to his arrest warrant affidavit. He said he went grocery shopping Thursday, visited a former co-worker at Lancaster County Central Park and bought an ice cream sundae at the same dairy where the little girl said he took her after the assault.
