WILLIAMSPORT – A Williamsport man has admitted sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl who later tested positive for gonorrhea.

That testimony from Williamsport police Agent Jason Bolt on Tuesday was sufficient for District Judge Christian D. Frey to hold Daniel Prieto, 38, for court.

Prieto is charged with rape of a child, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child and corruption of minors.

Bolt testified in a preliminary hearing conducted by Zoom that Prieto initially denied having sexual contact with the girl but confessed in a May 21 recorded interview.

Police initiated their investigation on Feb. 8 when they responded to a report of a missing juvenile who was found 90 minutes later.

The mother, while accompanying her daughter for an interview, revealed she discovered in early February she had contacted gonorrhea and her daughter had tested positive for the same disease, Bolt said. Tests confirmed that, he said.

The victim, during a child advocacy center interview, said Prieto told her “to keep a secret” and he would be in trouble if she told, charging documents state.

Prieto has been held without bail as a danger to the community since he was arrested in May 21.

Frey denied a defense motion to set bail with the stipulation Prieto have no contact with the victim.

It would be too big a risk to release him, Lycoming County Assistant District Attorney Lee A. Fry argued.

tb in pregnancy :: Article Creator TB Fight Goes To Vulnerable Communities Tuberculosis (TB) is still the most deadly infectious disease in the world, killing over 4 000 people every day, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). As such, in compliance with the latest WHO Latent TB Infection (LTBI) guidelines, in 2020, the Ministry of Health rolled out short-course rifapentine-based TB Preventive Therapies (TPT) nationally as one way of providing equitable access to TB preventive therapy to all those eligible. Latent TB infection means that not everyone who is infected with TB immediately develops the TB disease. Some people go on to have a dormant form of TB that can be reactivated over time or when the immune system is suppressed. So treating LTBI will prevent the person from getting active TB. However, most people in rural areas are still not aware of how they can access the treatment. To complement government's efforts in respo

toenail bacterial infection :: Article Creator How Do I Get Rid Of Toenail Fungus? Q: It looks like I have fungus beneath my toenail, but how can I be sure? Does toenail fungus go away on its own? Yellowing, brittle and unusual-looking toenails can be a sign that a fungal nail infection, called onychomycosis, has taken root. Experts say these infections don't go away on their own and can easily spread from person to person without treatment. "Fungus tends to be greedy," said Dr. Boni Elewski, chair of the department of dermatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. If you pick it up from close contact with someone who is infected or by walking barefoot in a locker room, for instance, it can then crawl under your toenail and spread into the nail itself, she said. Wearing moist, sweaty shoes can encourage the fungus to grow. Toenail fungus affects an estimated one in 10 people worldwide, and becomes more common with age — afflicti
