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.

The 'golf ball-sized tumor', which had spread throughout her face, was first mistaken for a sinus infection by the woman's doctors.  Annika, who posts about her condition on TikTok, woke up one morning in 2023 and noticed that the inner corner of her right eye was sore.  While she at first thought nothing of it, by the time the evening rolled around, 'my face started to really, really hurt on the right side,' she said in a video.  The next day, her

Having This One Particular Blood Type Can Help Protect You From Severe Malaria - ScienceAlert

Nearly  half the world's population is at risk of malaria, one of the most deadly diseases known to humankind. Each year it claims  over 400,000 lives, most of whom are children younger than age five. While it's possible to vaccinate against malaria, virtually all of these cases are in the African region, where protection is often nothing more than a roll of the dice. Now, a recent  analysis  of 23 papers suggests those with blood type O have the genetic odds stacked in their favour. In sub-Saharan Africa, where severe malaria - caused by the  Plasmodium falciparum  parasite  - is endemic, there are far more individuals with blood type O than anywhere in Europe or the US. In Nigeria alone, where 97 percent of the country is at risk of malaria, more than half the population belongs to this blood group. In Ethiopia and many others, the numbers are similar. Rather than a coincidence, co-author and epidemiologist Abraham Degarege Mengist from Robert Stempel College of Publi
